So sad. You honor her well with your words and images. I wish I didn't know about loss and grief. What I do know is: the feelings come and go as waves, and we're not in charge of when, how big, and how long. I had a big deal day 23 years after my father died.
The world does not always understand. Be kind to yourself, share (as you did beautifully here) with safe people who do understand. And when you have a glimpse of joy in the midst of grief waves, do not feel that the joy betrays the person you lost. Allow all feelings in the same day.
Hugs to you and yours. The way will be a little crooked back to a new sort of normal. Somehow you will adjust, but you will never stop loving or missing her.

All shall be well again, I know (Julian of Norwich)
Allene Robson (locally known as Mom, or, by some, Gramma) May 19, 1924 to May 31, 2013 May 20 to 25, 2013 - hospital: broken hip, clear directives in place for what she did and did not want in the way of medical intervention May 25 to 31, 2013 - Serene Corner, Kenmore, W...
One can not choose one's obsessions. They appear, and we must ride them like a wild horse... wherever they take us.
I had a friend who collected slide rules. Love.
On the sharpening of pencils
Over the holidays, members of my extended family were discussing real (as opposed to mechanical) pencils. This was in relation to a gift my sister received: a real pencil, and an eraser. It pleased her a great deal. I think there was even a hand-held sharpener included in the package, which was ...
Adorable huge fuzzballs, yes? I have no fondness for dirt roads or animal smells, but I love gentle beings. I also love your photos and your stories.
The yarns sound luscious. Silver is a gorgeous color with which to knit. I'll be interested to see what the dyed colors look like, as well. I'm guessing teal and eggplant might be possible. Crossing fingers.
I love yaks (and their fiber)
Yesterday I had the great good fortune of visiting Carl and Eileen Koop (and their yaks) at Bijou Basin Ranch. It was a 263.5-mile round trip and worth every bit of the journey. Here's part of why: The yaks charmed me completely. Backing up just a bit, here's a sign along the last bit of pave...
I'm frustrated with Typepad, it lost my post while it made me wrangle with a login. Not the first time, either...
The long, thoughtful note I posted said "me, too" but with detail.
I find stuff easier to let go of now than ever before, having worked on it in depth for the last two springtimes.
Time, though... that is my last frontier. Passionate people die with a to-do list, I remind myself.
Creating a Container for Success
Every year as we head into spring, I clean and organize my office. It is not something that is planned, I'm too right-brained for that. It's just that it feels like its time. Last year I bought a new desk set from Ikea and did a rigorous clearing out that took months. While I've enjoyed the...
This is SO exciting!!! I'm so happy for you.
Yes, the photo of those sheep is entrancing. They are beautiful just being themselves. Love.
Keep up that energy. Can't wait to be in on the release celebration when it happens.
Proofreading, continued
Yes, it's necessary for me to fully read the pages of the book yet again in their most recent (nearly final) incarnation, although I am finding relatively few spots that need marks for changes (a dramatic contrast from the last set of printouts). What amazes me, though, is that no matter how man...
Awwww. She's sweet from the photos. Congrats to the whole family.
New-to-us rescue Border collie!
We have a new member of the family. The addition seems sudden to us, although it feels really right, and only the last couple hours of the process took place in a hurry. We went to meet a dog. Within minutes, we knew she would fit into our family (although we spent more time with her before w...
