hump day nuggets: little bits of the season in photos and words about the last week
I keep starting to write and then backspacing to blank. So, thoughts aren’t easily forming words today and for some reason I have Tumbling Tumbleweeds in my head. And I am rolling with it (ha! rolling with it!)
I’m a roaming cowboy riding all day long
Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song.
 |
| I think my old definition of a messy home is kind of cute. I have a whole new understanding of mess. |
Nights underneath the prairie moon,
I ride along and sing this tune.
 |
| Margot’s Darker Pink Panda Bear goes wherever she goes. And, he is always prepared. He wears two diapers and sits in a felted wool purse with three pencils. He is then swaddled in three blankets, one of which is made from fabric Margot picked out just for him at the fabric store last week. The blankets are secured with a pin on the right wide of the bag. |
See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
 |
| Several have asked how we put our garden to bed for the winter. This is it! We pull all the dead vegetable plants but leave them in the garden and then pile leaves on top. The plant skeletons and leaves then decompose and nourish the soil. Also, in leaving all that on the ground, weed seeds have a hard time germinating in the spring. |
 |
| garlic in the ground! |
Lonely but free I’ll be found
 |
| Ruby and I literately rolled in these leaves for an hour while Margot napped. It was so beautiful and so fun in that dang, life is so flippin’ great way. |
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go but I’ll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
I know when night has gone
That a new world’s born at dawn.
 |
| My girl loves rainbows and I love that. |
I’ll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart is a song
 |
| Ruby and Margot live in these leg warmers |
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
 |
| we adore our reusable snack and sandwich bags |

Funny that I haven’t heard Tumbling Tumbleweeds in a long time. Years, probably. And, yet, it’s in my head and kind of beautifully appropriate. I like imagining rolling along the range at whatever pace the wind dictates, collecting stray particles and gaining strength. Also, my hair kind of looks like a tumbleweed today so there’s that too.
Happy hump day out there.
