i’ve been a terrible blogger lately. i promised an entry for yesterday & did not follow through. i am sorry, friends. instead i’ve worked a bit, jumped into more than a few piles of leaves, & managed to find three wonderful new succulents for our home {more on them later…}. i did manage, though, to squeeze in a bit of creative time with the husband & collaborate on our new blog {him + her} this morning. we did a little home tour… go over there & take a look!
but- two weeks ago, we were honored to have a little feast of sorts at the home of our dear friend & neighbor, {anna}. she’s an incredible cook with a quirky little attic apartment, filled with beautiful art, fresh flowers, & rows of spices + dried herbs. she’s wonderful & we had such a nice time.
& it has got me thinking about the importance of a community & close neighbors. our society is becoming too comfortable with staying cooped up in their own homes, protected by their privacy fences, & too afraid for others to walk on their manacured lawns. i’d like our lives & our home to be everything but that. when we have children, i’d like to live in a place built on relationships, community, & the comfort of family. sounds so nice…
well, it is becoming late & i have yet to even start my sunday chores. i hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend & feel refreshed for the busy week ahead.
