Grey, drippy, rainy, windy days. Days when I relax cozily snuggled up in a blanket and dream…dream of warm sunshine and lush gardens. Yes, I dream in Technicolor. Vibrant, vivid images that gladden my heart and sooth my soul.
On rainy, sloshy days, I plan and I design, everything from garden gates to furniture. I’ve drawn and re-drawn gazebos, arbors (for my new grapes) and barns for my husband to build, so far, he has yet to take my pencil from my unyielding grip.
On misty days,I wander through memories, memories past, mine, my children’s, my friend’s…sometimes I smile, sometimes I laugh out loud.
I don’t allow sad thoughts in on rainy days; they are banished and put out with the remains of altered designs.
I dream of summers to come; summers past. Spring plantings, autumn’s wealth.
I dream in technicolor.
summers of innocence, summers of abandon
gather summers gifts
Summers by a NH lake… for just a day picnic or a decade.
This photo reminds me of one of my sons..he fished in his canoe before school (we had to retrieve him), he fished after school, he still fishes every chance he gets.
My husband and I always love an evening stroll.
Bliss, just lying in the grass watching the clouds drift by.
Be well,
Jess
I love rainy and misty days… the peace, the sounds, the smells. You always bring your experiences alive with delightful, descriptive words.
I do dream in colour too, whether it is technicolor I do not know.
Love, Steph.
Aw, I love the picture of the kids swinging into the water! I wish it was bigger than a thumbnail though. Lovely post, Jess. Your life is right up my alley.
I noticed the size after I published…there is always something I miss.
I am glad you liked it none-the-less.
