  2. I read this slowly - it is snowing outside and I am savoring the quiet - and found myself seeing you thinking about the just right answers to these ponderings. Saturn doing the hula hoop? A laugh I much treasure. So happy to find you writing. And the starfruit image makes my mouth water. Lovely, lovely.

  4. I've been thinking about you ever since you left all those lovely comments on my blog. I want you to know how much every word meant to me. You are such a dear, generous, and creative person, and I am touched that you took the time to read my posts with such care.

    Now, this list is lovely. Poppy, mason bee, starfruit . . . sigh. You know, when I read Relyn's list I thought it was a wonderful idea, and now I'm thinking it again. Guess I need to make one, too. Oh, and I'd be October, too. Hands down, it's my favorite.

    Thanks so much, Jaime! Wishing you a happy Valentine's weekend! xo Gigi

  8. I do love this post. Of course I do. Your list is wonderful and whimsical and so very you. You know what I love even more? It's that as I read it I kept thinking, "Yes, I knew that." And, of course, I didn't. Not really. But it feels like I know you. Really know you. You know? a rainy Saturday... sigh. So you.
