A Life UnFancy.
Beauty in the non-fancy. My eyes love to gaze upon it.

Uncommon Abundance.
This seems to be a summer of abundance – or at least my understanding of it. Abundance. Something I’ve always wanted. Always felt left out. And never truly understood. A large amount of something.

A Teaspoon of Birdsong.
It’s the gift of hindsight. Because I didn’t remember, but now I do. I didn’t know, but now I do. At the time, I didn’t know it was happening. I didn’t know because I didn’t appreciate.

The Beauty of Senses & Eggs.
I remember when the gifts of my 5 senses came to me. “Came to me” might not be the best choice of words – as if I was ever without them.
