about last night

October 4, 2012

That’s a movie, right? About Last Night. Yeah, I think so.

This is a picture story about life last night. (It starts below, because of course I had to say stuff first.) Oh wait, I think it may have been the night before last, but I have no idea. For the last four weeks, Ryan and I have traveled, taking turns, week by week. Me, once, to Ojai for Creative Alliance and he, three times, for the working and the paying of the bills.

We pass the baton one night and then the next morning, the other of us is off on an airplane. I’m trying to focus on how there is a “We” and an “us” to even talk about at all because it makes me so grateful. WE are exhausted, so I’m glad that there are a few weeks coming up when neither of US is traveling.

The thing about fall evenings is that some of them are so summer-ish. Those are my favorite. When leaves are there but so is heat.

I want to find time to tell you all about my thoughts because of Creative Alliance but I can’t quite find time to think them just yet. Maybe life will keep me from getting to it, but I hope not. There’s so much good to share.

For now, here’s more good to share. It’s always there. You know, in the ordinary. Just look…

 

 

 

 

This one. Right down there? LOOK! GEESE! A V FORMATION!!!

 

I don’t know what we were winning. There’s no word for it. But, WE WIN!

Awesome pictures. Beautiful family. Glad that focusing on the moments of kid joy are getting you through the exhaustion. One day at a time. I love these pictures and they reminded me of the joy of fall through the eyes of a child.

What everyone else said. Just lively. And how much do I wish I could have been at Creative Alliance?. An intimate gathering of some of my dearest friends in the blogosphere at my favorite Inn in the lovely town of Ojai (that I have not been back to in 13 years). There are not enough words. (I will confess i wept looking at some of the pictures.)

I feel so often like my husband and I just pass each other in the night and neither one of us are traveling.
Those pictures are gorgeous, we did some leaf-playing this weekend too.
