10 hours in Seattle.

a day trip south of the border with my dearests S & D.

highlights include:

• visiting the public library- especially the red floor & the low doors in the bathroom stalls

• experiencing total vertigo on the top floor of the library
• wine and snacks @ le pichet
• admiring the brick buildings
• getting overwhelmed in outlet malls
• just walkin' around the city & soaking it all up.

gastronomic moments.

in the past couple of weeks there have been some delightful meals... nothing like the weather getting warmer to jump start a little culinary creativity.

baking bread last week and suddenly the loaf gave birth to a bun! big bags of flour from the mill in chilliwack await my baking creations... then there are the colours of a fish taco night in the evening light. and mother's day celebrated with the arrival of spot prawns!

truly delightful!!!

back in this city...

getting reoriented to this place. this home. this skyline. it's feeling good to breathe the coastal air. thoughts on what is next are constantly rolling through my head... trying to give myself some breathing room, change the nagging voice to an inspired voice... it's possible.

moving back in to the particulars of asana practice, guided by the details of my teacher's words... there's a sense of looking inwards, reaching upwards, while simultaneously staying close ...

took some photos on a short walk through the neighbourhood, marvelling in this special spring evening light...

bye bye nelson!

kootenay in spring time.

wonderful family waving bye-bye as we pulled away from their sweet abode.

the hospital with some greenery.

walking to last night shift.

soon so-long.

my time in nelson is coming to a close... 2 more shifts- tonight and tomorrow, and nursing school will be complete. can't even express how wonderful it's been to be welcomed so fully, so warmly into this home, with this family. hours with the girls, play time, reading time, snack time... and this place is getting warm. suddenly it's green. there are leaves budding on the trees, the mornings are milder, and the birds are chirpier. it's bittersweet to say so-long to a place such as this!

crocheting...

got the hook in hand, the soft bamboo/wool blend between my fingers, and the intention of making a wee hat for baby cousin Y... look down and i see i'm wearing all blue, the yarn is blue, i'm in a sea of blue...

easter bun bun.

this weekend was full of chocolate, eggs, and other such easter delights! so much anticipation waiting for the easter bunny- is he coming sunday or monday- gotta check on the easter bunny website! monday it is! i get home from the hospital by 0730 monday morning and the hunt is complete, chocolate eating has begun, and pancakes are on the griddle!
