believe

(chickens and tummy)

life is on the brink of change. i can feel it in the air, can feel it all around. it's getting cooler (thank god!) and it's closer to my most favorite of seasons. finally i feel like i can spread my wings and get out a bit and enjoy the outside. we've been traveling, cooking, farming it up, frolicking with the chickens, painting on the porch every day, going to bed early at night. there have been preparations for squam and exciting conversations with inspiring people. there is magic in the air.

not to mention that it's almost time for back-to-school! i hate to admit to being excited about this, but the sibling rivalry (and subsequent scream-fests) have been at an all-time high here in gilbertland (as any of our recent visitors can attest to) so i think that a bit of separate-time for the kids will do everyone a bit of good.

there's just this weird message that keeps permeating through everything that whispers "everything will get easier in a couple of weeks, nina. i promise." and right now i'm choosing to believe.

Oh lucky lady, going to Squam! I am so looking forward to fall, I love late August/early Spetember, even though I don't go to school anymore it still feels like a "on the brink of something new" feeling every year!

This time of year makes me sad and I agree that you can feel it in the air. I am looking forward to fall though and all that it has to offer.

I am going to listen for that message today...that everything is about to get easier. I want to feel the relief that does not seem to last lately.
I am happy that fall is near, but I am not feeling the magic.
Maybe I will have to make some of my own.

oh yes, i'm feeling the lovely thick magic in the air. everything will change in a few short days. people keep telling me that one day i'll look back and miss these days. i still am not feeling that.

ps *the chicken is in the coop* that is it say, the package is on it's way. ;-D
