My photo
The Enchanted Forest - that's what I call my new home on Sand Mountain, Alabama. I tagged it with the name as soon as we drove the U-Haul onto the property in late June, partly to trick my psyche into loving this new, very different locale that I wasn't sure I really wanted. I knew if I told myself often enough that this place was a treasure, I would eventually believe it. It worked. I love my small piece of the planet, and have accepted (almost) everything about it. I wish I'd started this journal the day we arrived - it's too labor-intensive to retrace all the steps that have brought me to this point, so I will begin here and let each day decide what is worthy of documenting. It's self-indulgent, and will surely vacsillate between celebratory and borderline-depressing - but that's what life is. And I find comfort in that cycle. So here goes . . .

Look closely . . .

Today is a mix of rain showers and sun - literally from minute to minute it changes. I love that about the weather. It seems to be one of the only things we humans don't claim complete control over, and that we are unable to predict with any real certainty at all. You go, Mother Nature!

Anyway, these are particularly beautiful today. Look closely . . .They look almost like Easter Lilies in July. 'Could almost fool you, but they're not lilies at all . . .




They're the blooms of one of the beautiful hosta in our front bed. It's a happy thing.
