resting up

Now is when time slows down.
Naps, tea, quiet books, introspection . . .
Sahara and I had a big girl morning together. We enjoyed the library without a toddler tearing around. Lydia likes to throw off her shoes and run up and down and all around the aisles in the children's area. Sahara and I would rather sit in a secluded spot and savor the treasures that thousands of books serve us.
From a local bookstore we also chose a calendar - Sierra Club - with gorgeous photos to grace our kitchen wall in 2010. I look forward to flipping through and filling it already, but I'll give myself another day or two before I take a pen to its pages.
It is raining and that's alright for we are cozied up inside dreaming about nothing in particular
