Halo





Halo

Through eyelashes
I watch you
Cresting
Like the peaks of waves
Your face
Burning bright
The pale wash of moonlight
Bruises your skin blue
Your eyes black
Like spirits lingering in
The corners of the room
Where flickering candles
Honey halos
Cannot reach

My Tiny House Inside

Image
 So today I thought I'd show some pictures of my tiny house. This is the inside of the front door. You can see my Art Doll cabinet and my Hello Kitty guitar. One of my fish tanks and the Sunflower linen curtains I made. I think my house is quite large for a tiny house. I have lots of room. I tried to get pictures that conveyed a sense of the roominess. But it is difficult to take nice photos in a small space.   I usually come in the back door of my house because that is where I park and it is a level entry which is nice. The back door opens into my mud room. This is a purely functional storage space where my hot water tank and laundry facilities are. I almost didn't want to take pictures as it is not nessesarly "pretty" to look at. But it holds all my fiber that I use to make fiber art. That is some bulky stuff. It fills multiple garbage bags. I keep it in plastic to keep moths out. As you can see everything in here is organized but it is "organized chaos&

My garden this spring

Image
 My garden is starting to fill out so I thought I would post about it. I love this time of year. It's so delicious! I slept with all my windows open last night. It was so wonderful to feel the cool night air over my face. It smells so good. The cats just love having the windows open at night. keeps them busy and quiet so I can sleep. Peaches slept curled up against me. It was a good night. And just look at my pig! Maggie the Magnolia is in full bloom! Isn't she cute? I love that pig. I have a little piggy on my back porch step too.   I don't know what this bush is called. I call it my "orange ball bush" for it's flowers. I got a tone of it from my brother when he ripped it out of his yard to make room for his hen house. I love it. This is the first year it has started to flourish. Up till now it hasn't got many flowers. It looks nice this year though! In front is my white rugosa rose. I started that from just a half dead stick. it's hard to see

Bertie and Bercie

Image
So this is Bertie Betty Freebird Craig. He's a boy Budgie. I rescued him off of Swap n Shop where someone was giving him away because they had brought him home thinking he was a girl "Betty" and he turned out to be a boy and they did not want him anymore. Hence "Freebird". I named him Bertie. He's a super sweet little feathered angle. He falls off his perch sometimes at night when it is dark. I think he falls asleep so deeply he just topples off his perch. The other day he had a "blood feather" and I panicked and phoned the "Powell River Bird Lady" Powell river is small. If you do something in particular you run the risk of being named for that one thing. I used to sell homemade preserves at the farmers market and for a while I became the "Jam Lady" It's the truth. Odd place Powell River. Anyway, the "Bird Lady" said it that the "blood feather" was nothing to worry about. But she and I got chatting abo
