Around Here

 We made it!

As always, it seems to take so much longer than expected to get everything set up and humming once more.  Uprooting is tiring.  We’ve been having interwebular struggles and just last night found what may be our best and only option for an internet connection out here in our lovely little mountain nook.  We are SO glad to be back.  I didn’t realize how much I missed this place, my gorgeously alive forest, my little cabin, the owls at twilight, the frog song rising up from the marsh, my hammers pinging in the glorious Airstream…

All is beautiful.  Soggy too.  It’s been raining heaps.  I think I’m growing moss.  I missed you so!  Tra la la!  More soon.

  2. welcome home to the methow and the little cabin in the woods! it all looks quite good on you!
    [especially your braids and the flowers and forest detritus. and that wee easy-bake-oven!!]

    happy summer to thee!

  3. Hey, I almost didn’t recognize you. Your shorts are so LONG! Ha!
    What a nice surprise, seeing you today. I missed my morning joe with my plumey plume plume.
    Pizza!! Wow. Goldilocks is really rockin’ in TLCITW!!!
    You look beautiful, sitting there with your beaded barrette, in your green mossy world. xx

  4. Yay…Glad you made it safely! It’s going to be a great summer!

  5. Loveliness abounds! You are such an inspiration! You photos are stunning and your words always make me smile.

    Glad you are settling in well. I imagine it would be such fun to move about through the mountains like you do, waking up every morning in a cabin beneath the pines and within the mountain air. Just thinking about it sends me to some of my favorite places to camp.

    Thanks again for sharing your magic. =)

  6. *sigh* Jealous of you in your little cabin in the woods!
    Settle in & enjoy!

    The cabin looks perfect and perfectly lived-in. What a beautiful place to live. You always give the best photographs to really let your mind linger on.

Glad you’re tucked in safe and sound – your posts always give my heart a lil’ leap of excitement – like, “oh goody another goodie from Jilli-bean!!”. While house sitting here, our internet is dreadfully slow.. but your beauty pics are always worth the wait, and those last few mountain shots made me gasp! ;o)

  26. Hey there! It’s so nice to hear from you. Glad you guys made it there safe and well. Little cabin looks real cosy.
    Those landscapes

    amazing.
    I know I sort of repeat myself but it all seems a little bit out of a fairytale for me.
    Be well.

  28. A sip of you is healing.
    Thank you!

  29. Around there is beautiful…glad you are there to witness it…and so good to hear from you xx

  30. Sigh…. your photos make me take a closer look at the world around me. To see the things I’ve previously passed by with urgencies of this and that – too busy to stop and notice.

    Slowing down, taking notice, being present…. has been important to me this year ever since one morning I looked out and realized our little red oak had leaves… and I had not even noticed the transition from bare branches to fullness.

  31. Your photos just brought so much color into my apartment! Wow- the photo of the rain, off in the distance… magic.
