Good morning! The kitties are streching their legs in the sunshine and I am sipping coffee warming my toes on the back porch. And then I am reminded again of how cool nature's art is.

So all the Californians keep warning me about the weather up north, but honestly, I can't wait for it. There is something about grey that is so beautiful, something about freshly washed air and something about misty days that speaks to my soul. I think even my plants are excited about it. This guy (note - guy - he's a male, like so many of my planty friends) is looking forward to it too. I think he was kinda disappointed to come home from Point Reyes to San Jose, but the orchids he has made friends with told him better places are coming soon.

Peace

I figure every one needs a little peace, and this (FELT - yep, I keep on playing with it)) guy is going to hang from a doorway in our new place up in Seattle.

A list of things that I love right now:

*The Rain - its so cleansing, it gives me hope and makes me look forward to the green
*Flafal - I think thats what is calling my name for lunch
*Beautiful, simple cards - I can't get enough of them, especially the handmade, letterpress type
*Les Nubians - I took a break, but am back to loving "One Step Forward"
*3191 visual blog - its super beautiful and inspiring
*Warm, furry kittie boys - they sleep with me when Brad is out of town
*Fair Trade Guatemala Coffee - from Barefoot of course!
*Ipomea Vines - mine just keeps kicking, from the day I snipped it in drive-by-cuttings
*Felt - its the world's oldest textile and felting is like magic
*Wing in Green Glass Necklace - made by SquidGlass on Etsy (minor obsession there!)
