By the kitchen sink

"Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things"
 Kakuzo Okakura


After a series of relatively mild days Winter has returned with a vengeance. Unable to go for walks, I roam aimlessly around the house basking in it's warmth, grateful for it's comfort.

I stop by the kitchen sink and watch the morning light play shimmering games upon the tiny leaves of the Angel Tears vine.  The serene expression of my fairy friend fills me with peace. Outside, the icy wind roars while I linger and dream...

  1. When will this winter ever end? It helps to have a bit of the outside inside your home. Sweet fairy!

  7. I love the plant Angel Tears. Such a sad sounding name, though. My favorite part of a woman's home is around her kitchen sink. I think this is an area that she keeps the things that makes her the most happy. It looks like this is true for you. Peace. Brianne

  8. I, too, feel the drag of winter but isn't the light, these days, glorious?

    I'm sorry that I'm not coming right away to your posts, Alina! I seem to just keep missing the "announcements" that there is one! I've been thinking of you!=]

    Love, Katy

Albert Schweitzer said "In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit" I thank you all!
