Project 365: Week 44

 

We traveled a path in the woods. I carried a camera. He carried a stick. My pace was steadier than his. I walked unless I stopped to wait. He ran ahead. He fell behind. He took my hand to be helped along.

It was All Saints' Day, and he had nowhere to be but with me. His Catholic school was closed for the day. He's Catholic, my son. My husband and daughter, too. Not me.

When we chose his school, when it chose us, I was nervous. Unsure how it would be to be a Catholic school family, as a non-Catholic. I held my breath. Took a deep breath in and waited.

A week went by. A month. Two. And I realize now that I've been breathing again, without noticing I was. It's all right. It's really all right.

This habanero kiss is also my contribution to Inside the Frame this week. The theme was spicy.

Have a Happy Halloweekend!

Project 365: Week 42

 

She gave my children permission to pinch needle-like leaves from her rosemary plant, so they do. She gave me permission to photograph her flowers, so I do. I'm grateful for neighborly neighbors.

Project 365: Week 41

 

I've been looking forward to this day. My parents arrive in minutes and will stay a few days with us in Nashville. We're thinking of a pumpkin farm and a quaint downtown, a harvest festival and Southern food served family style, plus family portraits and lots of hugs. I hope your weekend is full of fun and love.
