She, this jasmine blossom, twirled for me, fabulous float on the water of the bird bath, skirting the edges, sharing her scent, delighting my eye.

One Community is a monthly project in which participants photograph their homes and community with a theme in mind. The goal is to both showcase similarities and differences in our communities worldwide – and bring us all closer together in understanding through art.

Why don’t you join us? It’s fun! Post one or more photos for each of this month’s theme words, road, float, sprinkler, and oasis, and add your blog post to the link-up. Easy! It began yesterday, June 5th, and stays open for one week.

Snap happy!

shower

They aren’t just for April.

calm

Moss slows the world to a crawl.

green

Ferns, moss, fairy dusted mushrooms, and look out below – the hubster sports a rather riotous clash.

friendship

Paris turned nineteen yesterday, which is a whopping ninety-two in human years and older than my Grandma! She had a scary week, mysteriously unable to walk at the time this photo was taken. She rebounded after a confusing and meow-filled couple of days, which included an oddly humorous sideways walk, though she remains a bit wobbly. Proof that our long-standing joke about her living forever is precisely that, a joke.

Style

My style is classic: turtlenecks, cardigans, ankle length jeans and corduroys, ballet flats, and a bit of sparkle.

Heirloom

Grandma Rouble’s wedding ring. I wear it with l o v e.

Heartbeat

Faster with cake!

Warmth

Milo, our little heat seeker. If there is warmth, he will find it: a lap, a heat register, a cozy corner, a sliver of sunlight.

words to treasure

silver

Sweet story – I bought this outfit (minus the boots) for Luna while she was in the hospital. When she first saw it, her face lit up as she uttered the sweetest sigh and reached her hand to touch it! At that point, I didn’t care if she ever wore it. I was so happy to witness such delight. Though, now I hope I am not helping to create a little fashion monster. There are worse things, I suppose.

winter

resolution

Less sugar, like a Mike’s Drive-In Peppermint shake.

More muscle – my friend Mahoney just challenged me to twenty regular push-ups. I tried after breakfast (not the best timing) and can do ten, so I am already halfway there!
