golden morning

August 22, 2009 | Filed Under familial 

interwebs at last.

most of the household has been moved from one place to the next. the old house is empty and echoes and is sad to walk through. the new house is full and a mess of half unpacked boxes and playthings. some of us have colds. all of us are tired. the diversion of artisan bread in five minutes a day (so amazing!) has been welcome. and a good change from fast food and peanut butter sandwiches. the dishwasher here is not working, some electrical issue. and even though dishes by hand is a very time consuming activity, i do enjoy it a bit, peaceful and productive. it’s only been a week, after all.

this morning, early as always, the kids woke up and fed themselves cereal. later ernie and i watched them in the yard, lola in a bright orange diaper following jude from one end of the garden to the other. the air was cool instead of stiflingly hot as it has been all week.

i am way behind on work. i owe one mama photos, many people paper lovelies. the studio ernie and i share is already a disaster of paper clippings (i’m rethinking sharing the space but he says it’s fine! just be tidy!). but we are blessed and happy. and getting fat from all that bread. why can’t i look nice like nigella after eating like she does?
