thankful

Thanksgiving

Thank you to the muted view

through a burlap curtain

out of the window by our bed

cedar trunks and the scitterings of squirrels

Thank You for the postcards

with quotes that I love

and candy left in 

the boots I always wear

Thank you Jesus

Thank you Wendell Berry

Thank you coconut oil popcorn

Thank you Red Sox fan on Frankfort Avenue

who always looks alarmed

who we see everyday on our walks

Thank you to the Earth for turning

Thank you Sojourn

aliens and trespassers

in a foreign land

Thank you past

you were our constant companion

you are done

Thank you future

Thank you new heartbeat

You're welcome.

lately.

spring is here & we are happy. 

the pups love to run on the Path while I people watch & talk to fishermen. 

Emily sent me some rad music that I have been obsessively listening to(Kim Janssen). Thanks my girl!

made lavender soap with Bek.

making lots of compost tea out of my daily juice leftovers and coffee grounds.

made blackberry jam when I discovered all the wild blackberries in my freezer that I forgot about, Ben's grandparents graciously give them to me every year from there beautiful 5 acre plot. 

went to Bluegrass Burgers for the first time & it was AMAZING--so many local options.

Ryder is obsessed with Morg and it is hilarious.

Ben is finishing the fence & testing the power of the 4Runner to pull stumps out of the ground with its V8 beauty. 

It has been 4 weeks since the bicycle accident and I finally got back on the ole stick--it feels sooo gooood my friends!

went to the Sojourn women's retreat, camped with Morg in the Kelty 2-man tent, & played some awesome kickball.

the garden is doing great--had to prune my seedlings.

"there's a snake in my coop"--yep Ben smashed its head. 

the pups are cuter than ever--Ryder is officially an old man.
good things.

good life

good good good.

back to running after bicycle accident--feels so good!

drinking lots of goat milk chai lattes on the porch.

made goat cheese (chevre) with Bekah--then sat on a hammock for 2 hours. 

Kola ate her first ice cream dog treat (she was obsessed) & it made her breath smell like blueberries!

eggs are everywhere--our neighbors are buying some from us. 

maple bacon is a staple in the Roberson diet. 

sleepy Ryder gets lots of kisses in front of the azalea.

tonight we are playing soccer in the park with our friends! 

what are you doing over the weekend?  

life lately.

the pups are happy about the spring weather.

i did some work in the garden over the weekend.

Ben still loves his Raleigh road bike.

my azalea is blooming. 

for Sunday breakfast we ate at a little dive bar diner, Barbara Lee's Kitchen--i ordered the best waffle. 

the whole experience filled me with nostalgia. 

my parents always use to take me to those kinds of places when i was a little girl. 

we went to a quaint diner like that in Montana after we got out of the back country in Glacier. 

good things. 

Ruff.

We just had a great weekend, full of time spent with friends, snuggling in bed with the poochies, egg collecting, & lots of laughing. The dogs have been sleepy lately, my thought is because the weather keeps changing--one day it is bright, warm, & sunny & the next there are two inches of snow on the ground, its confusing. Ryder still eats everything in sight, even Ben's breakfast (yogurt-granola goodness). Kola loves when I take her running, everyday she begs for the leash so she can get her chance to hit the road. 

Life is simple & sweet, I am thankful.
