I was putting away seeds from the flowers I grew this summer, knowing I would need to have the memory of past flowers and the hope of future flowers tucked in a safe place in order to get through the flowerless days. . . . → Read More: ~thankful thursday~ seed bank  One comment  abundance, gratitude, natural world, thankful thursday  abundance, america the beautiful, being a mama, birds, boats, books, calendula, connection, date night, flowers, gardening, gratitude, honey, hope, husband, kitties, light, nachos, nature, outside, parsimony, rainbow, rainbow connection, raspberries, reading, red violet, regulus calendula, seeds, stars, sun ball, thankful thursday, webs, wildflowers, writing

Quintessence has such a nice ring to it, and feels hopeful to me, the idea of a fifth dynamic fundamental force, an unknown mystery exerting itself in the cosmos whose impact on the speed of the expansion of the universe is an open question. Open questions in physics feel like hope, like that little thing with feathers can fly into the opening. . . . → Read More: ~thankful thursday~ exponential

~8-23 to 9-23~ Our end of summer family trip to New York! The cousins absconded with Quinn and were barely heard from.
