Love letters in a snowbank




Good morning...

There are things in this world that some might find mundane, but I tend to lean towards the everything-has-a-bit-of-excitement in it.  For instance-the stars out last night against the inkiest black sky were both brilliant and bright, and even though it was 3 degrees out on my deck- I had to strain my neck for a long time to gaze and gaze, being filled with the wonder of the same sky that blankets us all.  Here in Maine- with little light pollution, those stars overhead are magnificent, piercing and yes- even a bit humbling.

Seems all we've done since I've been here is paint and tear apart and add new this, gently used that...for several  months prior- the same thing was occupying all my time back at the farm.  Never the less- I have to build my  our  nest.   Isn't that exciting?  I have been saying "we" alot, and "our"...new vocabulary for me.  It's scary...and exciting.  Isn't it a wonderful thing- to actually share the joy and even some of the burden?  Well I do declare- the Big Fish is a wicked good partner.  Who knew, so late in life- that love could be so large and unintimidating?!  I had no hope at all...then this sweet man started sending me letters- long hand, paper letters, in the mail!  Oh how I miss those letters, running out to the mailbox and getting correspondence from as far away as Maine- love letters every one.  Sadly, the letters are few in my mail- but leave it to the sweetest man I know to trump the United States Postal Service-



And....



Love letters in a snowbank...


Sigh.....Guess I can muster the spirit to paint and build some more.  Wonder what the Big Fish will do to trump this?! 
 Between you and I dear readers, I hope he is still speaking to me after the weekend- I'm having a surprise birthday party for him on Saturday-midst all this chaos!  He's turning the "big ONE", use your imagination...and I, being a truewonder and all-who happens to believe that everyone should celebrate their birthday, even if no one else notices- am planning a kick a#@! , party like a Rock Star event.  And the BF, being kind of a shy man- has posted these love letters around the place, for my eyes only- God love him, I can see him blushing now...
.
(He rarely goes on the net...so no worries he'll see this)
Have a good one, take care-


Take care!

That is the sweetest thing ever ... I'm so jealous!!! I think we all just want a true love affair, and what better than love letters to give us that! I am so happy for you. It's one thing to hear I love you, it's another for someone to go out on a limb and write it in a snowbank for you!

Love, Rhi
