notes from Frog Hollow

city mice become country mice

Fitting that the last time I posted here was with election anxiety. 

Here for the #goblincore  !!

The ONLY time I ever think I have "enough" books (or *gasp! too many) is when I'm moving or re-arranging, re-organizing. I think some of you may relate? #thriftingfinds #thriftstoredecor

"As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate. Hope is the thing that is left to us, in a bad time. I shall get up Sunday morning and wind the clock, as a contribution to order and steadfastness.

Sailors have an expression about the weather: they say, the weather is a great bluffer. I guess the same is true of our human society—things can look dark, then a break shows in the clouds, and all is changed, sometimes rather suddenly. It is quite obvious that the human race has made a queer mess of life on this planet. But as a people we probably harbor seeds of goodness that have lain for a long time waiting to sprout when the conditions are right. Man’s curiosity, his relentlessness, his inventiveness, his ingenuity have led him into deep trouble. We can only hope that these same traits will enable him to claw his way out.

Hang on to your hat. Hang on to your hope. And wind the clock, for tomorrow is another day.

Sincerely, (Signed, ‘E. B. White’)" ___________________________

Tax. Time. #enough said

A day spent in the shipping office is a day well spent. Though hard not to get distracted looking out the window for otters all day or book browsing.

Dog was happy to get extra snow-time while I took photos by the stream. Just caught the fading light, love that the days are getting longer. #forestbathing

Working as close to the fireside as possible on this cold but thankfully sunny winter day at Frog Hollow. ♡ #jewelryphotography

Heart is breaking for another dear friend who has lost her beloved feline companion. This is the hardest part of love, having to deal with the loss. The love continues. Always. I forced myself to join my partner and pup for their morning walk. Mist and sunlight's dance through the trees comforted me so much ~ I wish this magical place could comfort everyone who hurts today. ♡ "maybe death isn't darkness, after all, but so much light wrapping itself around us--"
