Country Digs

Country living- puppy style. 

To Set the World on Fire

Where my cottage is, there is a strip of road that is one of the most beautiful Michigan highways to drive along in fall. The fiery trees engulf the road in a tunnel of flame.

 I imagine there is no sweeter way to burn.

I've really enjoyed taking photos every day with my camera instead of my phone.

A DSLR is irreplaceable and this month's project has really been a joy.

Happy Picture-a-Day Month!

Never Let Me Go

"I come here and imagine that this is the spot where everything I've lost since my childhood is washed out. I tell myself, if that were true, and I waited long enough then a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field and gradually get larger until I'd see it was Tommy. He'd wave. And maybe call. I don't know if the fantasy go beyond that, I can't let it. I remind myself I was lucky to have had any time with him at all. 

What I'm not sure about, is if our lives have been so different from the lives of the people we save. We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through, or feel we've had enough time."

Artsy, Fartsy Fall!

October is a 'Picture-a-Day' month! 

(well me and my darling friend decided it was at least)

 I'm excited for it. I feel I consume too much, curating small galleries of other people's art on Pinterest (speaking of which, you should follow me @ http://pinterest.com/marieeeka/ :) ) and not making something of my own for others to gather into their own collections. I need to get the creative juices flowing, they've been stymied by work and routine and directionless action. 

Plus!! NaNoWriMo is almost upon us! I can't tell you how excited I am. My last few days have been spent perusing Amazon for the best books on writing and character development. I apologize in advance to my mailman for the next week's hustle. 

I hate the heat and tend to be a bit of hermit in the summer months but Fall and Winter...they make me feel alive, like everything I want is possible. 

Cheers to a lovely, artsy, creative October and November!
