missing her

yesterday was missy's birthday.

last night,

returning from a fun roadtrip to utah,

with the just-past-full moon at our backs,

i was able to share her story

and this song with some new friends.

{also here}

i love you, sweet girl.

♥

lo and behold

this month, i've been busy.

i have a couple new projects i'm working on.

{more on those later}

as a result,

some things are late

{new year's cards, coming soon!}

and others have been quite neglected

{ahem, this blog}.

this amaryllis, which i never potted,

just tossed into my basket of produce,

is bearing blooms of forgiveness.

it's all okay.
