Did a day go by?
Did I miss a day?
It was a long day, so long I am not sure when it ever ended and brought on night which seemed to quickly deliver morning. I could offer every excuse in the book but I can’t stand excuses which is strange because I am damn good at making them. I should keep a book of excuses like my mom keeps recipes, logged and filed for quick and easy reference.
I have a couple I could give right now, truly legit ones, but I won’t.
Instead I will just post a few photos that make me feel unbelievable fantastic.

I made granola for the first time tonight. It was empowering. I no longer have to buy it at the market, the hemp seed one is full of puffed rice filler, light on the oats.
I used 6 cups oats 1 cup (or less) flax seed (or whatever seed) raw almonds raisins cinnamon clove nutmeg cooked those up in a saute pan for 7 minutes or so then put it a 9X13 and added 1/2-1 cup maple syrup (any gooey sweetener would work). Baked at 300 for 20ish minutes, stirring midway though.
Quite yummy.
I send off with a couple other shots I will cherish; the wave of energy in my memory of the fresh mix of cool air and warming sun flickering in and out of leaves and branches and the cold noses of my girls, is so the essence of my life.

I’m sooo sad I didn’t get to see you all today. These pictures capture the essence the family I utterly adore - who wouldn’t?
