zebra swallowtail caterpillar
there are
days
i just want
to do yoga,
then knit
and
drink
bubble tea
all day.
when it's just
hot enough...
and
the breeze
lightly
messes
your hair...
when the
weekend
is fading
and you
wish for one
more day.
but instead
i go to work
and
feed caterpillars
and dream
of unfinished
projects
that could be
finished.
if the
bubble tea
store is open
i will stop
a get my favorite-
avocado
with chocolate.
it sounds
weird
but it is
heaven.
tonight grub
and i will bake
our quiches
and watch
a movie
and
only
of the items
on my weekend
to do
are checked off.
packages packed
check.
ebay items posted
check.
emails sent
check.
caterpillars fed
check.
sweep & mop
check.
yoga
check.
grub says
i make lists
that are too long...
i know
he's right.
but
there's
so much
to do.
it is wise
to learn
when to
let go
and
roll
over
those
to do items
to the next week.
check.
hope you
had
a lovely
weekend.

visiting!
xo, g.
me too me too! one more day for yoga and knitting is just what i need. nice shot of the beautiful vest! i can't wait to wear it when the weather cools down just *a little*. xox
love the pink one
Ah...you are working on a Jess Hutch's robot? Love the cardi and the vegi-in-a-row shot (the peeled orange is beautiful). Enjoy the sun and caterpillar feeding, even if it's work :P
hi gwen. your life seems so full and happy. love seeing your projects and hearing about your meals. xox
i hear you on long lists.
seems like you are getting a lot done.
wish we could have bubble tea together.
xo
i must confess sometimes i write lists of only the things i have done just to feel like i've done well.....
i hear you on the lists... so many of my things roll over. some things have been there for months. i am trying hard to be okay with it, but... oof.

i've become too good at letting things roll over to the next day or the next week. too good at making the lists, and not good enough - lately - at following them. makes me feel like i'm swimming upstream.
I feel the same way every weekend and long for an extra day, but I always wonder if I'd use that time wisely. Would I really mop the floor, or would it be another day for the fun things I'd much prefer to do? It's always a struggle.
Love the last caterpillar pic, that is fabulous!
Oh, and what pattern is the adorable little shrug?
beautiful, as always.
eep. Indeed, you do have a very full life. So happy we stumbled upon each other. I feel lucky to be a small part of your luscious life. Knitting, yoga, food and pretty insectopods. Add friendship and there's not much more I could ask for. OK, maybe Bear. I could ask for a stupidly brave polydactyl animal friend.
I have,
after reading your words,
eyeing your photos,
heaved a heavy sigh;
for feeling the same
(par feeding caterpillars)
Quinces alone.
But my heart is warmed and my
weekend lovlier for stopping by here...
"but instead

doesn't sound weird at all :)
