Skylarking

It's been a long, long time. So many things have changed for the better and worse and I wanted to blog at least a million times.

It is so hard getting back into the swing of things and I feel horrible for neglecting to share all the wonderful moments with my daughter so she and I can look back on them when she is older.

But, I am not going to lament over the past.

I hope to post more soon :)

How to Make a Mess

A pictorial brought to you by cranky-pajama-Illusia:

P.S. don't ask me why she put her dolly in a homemade torture rack, I really don't know...

Summer's Standing Still

Summer's standing still,
a smile on her face.
 *
The quiet is like thunder
when there is nothing left to say.
*
Weeds might tell the wind,
to whisper and to blow.
*
So hold tightly to your string
or just give in and let it go.
*
Summer's hands are empty,
streets stick heavy with the heat.
*
The Sun lies in the shade
in the valley, behind the trees.
*
The ground will choke with seeds
as limbs will laugh for joy.
*
Spreading out their leaves
in the rays to feel the blow.
*
Storms are looming over,
ready for the chance to quake.
*
Blue skies will crack open
as white clouds are soaked in gray.
*
But Summer is quite smitten with
the game that they will play.
*
Hiding in the little girl
with a smile on her face.
