late afternoon light dances
across the walls
glowing golden on
early quilted petticoats and bonnets.
I like to think of the quiet little corners of my home as love letters to myself and my family.
You know, when you put together a little place that feels just right, with your treasured things. and then, when the light comes through, it surprises you with just how pretty it is...
the feelings that come from experiencing it for the few brief moments that the light comes through and you know how much you love where live...
then looking forward to the next little moment when the light changes again.
these are my love letters of home.

I was dreaming all night of your wonderful stories on your new blog. Oh I imagine Mr Jefferson is in for a lot of adventure. It is just wonderful. I love having a place to come read something that opens up my imagination. I am looking forward to more.
It is just lovely Christine.

And now as the light begins to change and the sun rise earlier do you gaze upon those sweet little dresses and bonnets and dream of the young lass that would have wore them out into the garden to listen to the warbler sing?
I know you are already blessed with the arrival of spring as I still wait .So I shall live through your beautiful picture and dream.

the words are so true-just beautiful.
How very beautiful your writing is, your words gentley evoke another era, it is as if you had stepped through time, and scooped them up. The photograph visually echos the same .... truly stunning
