thoughts for a Wednesday morning

Charlotte likes hair accessories

It has been windy lately which causes the windows in this old house to rattle. It's like someone is begging to come in.  It could be kind of creepy but it isn't because it is home and I'm used to it.  Just like the shadows coming off the porch from the hanging lights that are swinging back and forth.  I'm sitting in the dark in the wee hours of the morning like I usually do, finding inspiration online and catching up with friends.  Sometimes the online world can be a daunting place but I find myself more grateful for it than overwhelmed most of the time.  In many ways it has made my life more full over these past two years.  I have found my style so to speak and as such can narrow down my one fall purchase to a little sweater and shop my closet for everything else.  It allowed  this craft idea to pop in my head, which the always inspiring Jennifer pinned on Pinterest, when Court brought out the paints.  It pushed me to make this butternut squash soup on the weekend, instead of staring at the big gourd any longer.  And it brought me the most simple recipe for pizza dough that nourishes my kids and makes them feel proud of their own culinary creation...
