An ending & a beginning
Posted on | May 14, 2010 | 7 Comments
The world is suddenly green. The drenched trees lost their blossoms as quickly as they bloomed; petals fell like a party dress to the grass. Now everything flutters with the minute iterations of leaves. The grass is suddenly shaggy and surprisingly long; as though it’s from a Jack In the Bean Stalk fairy tale while hummingbirds zip among the rain drenched azaleas and lilacs fill the air with heady sweetness.

This weekend big things are happening. A Field Guide To Now on Kickstarter is ending tomorrow. 28 hours left. (Become a backer if you haven’t. This is IT!)
I’m leaving on a weekend adventure today with my camera and some pretty shoes in tow. I won’t be here when the project time runs out, but I want to tell you how grateful I am. I am astounded, joyful, terrified, delighted, eager. This is such a big deal… and YOU made it happen.
xxxo!

beautiful! Despite having had less rain than usual, thing here looks so green and vibrant, as well. The heady sweetness of lilacs has dissipated, but the peonies have exploded and the roses and hydrangeas are waking up. And the fragrance of the wisteria trees …. {sigh}.
Congratulations on making your book project happen. Enjoy your weekend away.

I am really happy for you, realising this project. Also, very excited as I did remember to go onto Kickstarter yesterday and yoopee, I think I was the last Backer. Feels good to be at the end of the beginning. Make it beautiful and enjoy….
