The Life and Times of the Plume
I Love Your Soul
It’s all frozen now, including the trout pond at the farm, which I will skate on tomorrow morning.
There’s that aqua-Jade body of water I love!! (Incidentally, I’m sobbing over you leaving the river house). Oh, I knew it wasn’t forever, but I have become so fond of that place.
You’ve performed studio magic again. The gold spotted trout, turquoise crosses and dangly silver moon earrings are a dream.
As is the thought of you doing patchwork and a single salchow on your pond! 🙂
I wish you had bought the strawbale house.
TOEPICK!!!

Wow, one can feel the soft and hard of cold in these images. How old is Penelope now? She’s one doughty critter!
(So I typed this sentence and then answered the anti-robot question below, and the answer to that got posted. Ergo the cryptic 6)
Pene will be 9 this year!!! Even her toe furs are growing white these days.
And I love that cryptic 6 — made me laugh aloud.
I figured (even though it was accidental) that lone 6 would at least raise an eyebrow. Glad it amused!
White TOE furs?! That’s radical 😉
Uumaa is now 11 and baby Taya 6. I wish their life spans were comparable to ours! Both are doing great. Taya is a running fool and Uumaa still a force of nature, albeit slower.
I love your winter pictures. Truly I don’t know I’ve seen any pictures of yours that I haven’t taken pause to view. One sits above my desk now – a black and white beach shot with you leaping, heart to sky. And that I must tell you was an incredible bit of coincidence (if one believes in that which I do not) I had sketched a picture so similar a few days before you posted that shot on your blog – I caught my breath and stared in wondrous disbelief it was it my sketch, a dedication to staying grounded while also leaping soul to heavens, had come to life. I missed my chance to purchase this one full size, but I do love this post card version so much. But I’m rambling and off track – your winter pictures – I must say they beckon to me. I turn into a hermit in the winter… snuggling in and dreading any required journeys about outdoors. But, over the years of reading your blog – my despise of winter turned to acceptance to appreciation to, dare I say, a time to look forward to? Amazing what pictures can do. Love from a wintery, snowy Oregon where the coldest temp I’ve saw so far has been 3 degrees… and I didn’t hate it.
these photos.
that river holds one of my favourite colours.
and PENELOPE. such a beauty queen. even the best of us turn white, you know.

PENE!! I have no favorites, ahem… she’s my fave, maybe!! Such beautiful captures, Mz. Plume. I would love for Pene to be snuggled in my stocking early on the 25th (ho ho ho).
I hope you have a lovely Christmas~ Blessings to you and your family <3
I can’t get over the color of that water!!! Magical!!!!
