this explains a lot
2014 May 1
a lot as in…everything.

- The single tulip that Rose extracted from my parents’ bouquet. Which goes to show, if you don’t ask for what you want…
- There is never no one stapled to my body (which I will miss tremendously someday).
- The placement of the toilet in the center of our house, which I still haven’t made peace with after 12 years.
- The continuous rotation of undies and whatnots on the drying rack.
- Where is Dan? Doing something productive, likely.
- Fresh Mancos deer roadkill backstraps trimmed and ready for the grill (amounting to three deer transported home in Dan’s company work truck. Shhh.)
- Stuff and love, everywhere and lots of it.
Mucho blessings,
Rachel

You are the constant center of a whirling, ever-changing, ever-present gyre of love. This picture brings back a flood of warm memories. Blessings to you all!
I particularly like the couch-pile slowly drooping onto the floor, it’s like indoor erosion.
Drew, warm fuzzy memories here too. Keep on with your peanut butter and carrots. xo
We’re a group of volunteers and opening a new scheme in our community.
Your site provided us with helpful info to work on. You have done an impressive task
and our whole community might be thankful to you.
looks like a home full of love and that is what life is SUPPOSED to be all about. You and Dan GET it. Have a great day
Whenever I’m in a hurry and feel annoyed when my kids hang on to me, I remind myself, “once they decide to let go someday, you will never be loved this way again.” And then the hanging on becomes a comfort, rather than a nuisance.
This post and this comment bring tears to my eyes, happy-sad, sweet-salty tears. xo
Seriously. Me too. “You will never be loved this way again.” Who knew this was a fleeting and life-changing byproduct of motherhood?
Blessings to you, too, Rachel…
A sight that inspires love, heart humming, inspiration, and huge grins for sooooooooo many of us across the world. The world! Those kids, that couch, those tiles, that table – all of it is familiar to your loyal readers and gives us actual nourishment. xo
What a sweet comment. Love: heart humming!
what an awesome post!
where else could you put the toilet in 800 sq feet??
(i would hashtag this #everyone poops. if i knew what a hashtag actually meant. lol)
And I, who also doesn’t know about hastags would hashtag it: #everyone poops, and in our house everyone knows about it
IF i cou;d trade places id like to be one of your kids either one would be a treat! Col made me want to sloch in the water because im hot at the moment. Love ya! Ginny
