A Week In The Life:: Saturday
Posted on | October 18, 2008 | 12 Comments
Morning light.
Shower.
Unmade bed.
Drying my hair.
Breakfast = broiled grapefruits w/brown sugar; croissants, soft boiled eggs; lattes.
Empty table.
Letting the geese out.
On the walk…
Inevitably the geese join us. Bean always bikes–in his bright yellow helmet with thunderbolts.
The frost has turned to dew.
Back inside, doing laundry I notice my mismatched polka dots.
Bean draws in the kitchen while us grownups whirl about the house tidying. Then we take a trip to town: lumber at Home Depot; lunch; a stop for bread; and a stop for some new sheets.
In the blink of an eye the light is already slanting towards twilight.
Bean twirls while I sit in the leaves soaking up the last rays of golden sun.
How I love weekends.
Am thinking of doing this all week. Inspired by Ali.
All too often the fragments that make the mosaics of my days go unrecorded…

Oh!
I did this three weeks ago – along with countless other readers of Ali’s blog, yes, but this is the first time for me to stumble across someone else considering this project, someone else who forms one of the planets and stars of my own little internet universe.

What a beautiful, simple post. Sometimes we forget how lovely the simplicity and routine of everyday life can be. Gorgeous photos (especially those leaves) too!

Hi,
I’ve been lurking here for a while now, but I felt it was time to pop in with a comment to let you know how much I enjoyed these photos and how they remind us that everyday life can be oh so beautiful.
Thank you.

LOVE the breakfast – what a treat for Saturday morning! I spent the past week in Maine and the foliage is also gorgeous there too. So hard to come back to Connecticut.
Oh, and the geese are hysterical!

I love how the geese are walking with you!
