LACE.

I’m wearing my little vintage lace cardigan.

My hair is good again today.

Livy.Love’s address is in my hands.

And I just read this piece that made my ears sing.

A LIGHT LEFT  ON

"In the evening we came back

Into our yellow room,

For a moment taken aback

To find the light left on,

Falling on silent flowers,

Table, book, empty chair

While we had gone elsewhere,

Had been away for hours.

When we came home together

We found the inside weather.

All of our love unended

The quiet light demanded,

And we gave, in a look

At yellow walls and open book.

The deepest world we share

And do not talk about

But have to have, was there,

And by that light found out."

To that one man.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR.JOHN KEATS.

That was the first thought in my head this morning. And it was a good thought.

And today will be a good day.

•I curled my hair for John Keats.

•I’m going to watch xc Districts in my jeans.

•It’s John Keats’ Birthday.

•It’s only supposed to rain on AWARDS.

•I get to carry my red umbrella.

•It’s John Keats’ birthday.

•Trouser socks are in my drawer.

•CHOCOLATE MILK.

•It’s John Keats’ birthday.

•My voice is ready for some cheering.

•Did I mention it’s KEATS’ birthday?

•

•

I HEART HIM.

.Dan+Madge forever.

we went to the yearly library book-sale today. i got some smashing new little novels. poetry. irish jig music. old stories. all the rest of that jazz…

i found an adorable little book called “Love Is.” and i loved it. and then i looked inside the cover. and i loved it even more. ’cause it said this:

♥

‘Love is…

Madge,

during the day and at night,

awake and asleep,

now and always.

Dan-1969′

♥

i found that completely sweet. i hope Dan+Madge love(d) eachother forever. f.o.r.e.v.e.r. how darling. to write, ‘Love is Madge…’ he must have been awfully sweet. awfully sweet indeed.

{i wore a little pink floral dress today.}

this morning i went for a run. then i donned on an apron and baked a loaf of bread. and then i spent some time making little cookies with Miss Tandy. while hopping back and forth trying to watch my favourite scene in a movie—boy and girl sitting in a tree together. little lights. white dress. fear. laughter—-so hard to try and glimpse all that while taking cookies out and putting them in the oven. not to mention cutting them out into bears and gingerbread men…

tomorrow i get to see my Lala. i cannot wait. it will be wonderful. PIÑATAS. fireworks. tea. books. love. smiles. joy. ♥.

i ♥ my Lala.

there’s a girl on the t.v. trying on 27 dresses. such a cute movie. the little parts where they say pretty things to one another are the ones i love. and the part when he pencils himself into her day-planner every month.week.day. it’s cute. or when they run around the store registering the bride for the ugliest stuff. that was cute. and when they both love the exact same part of the wedding…turning to see the groom just as the bride walks in. that was the cutest. sometimes i wish i had 27 dresses. maybe i do…

happyness {with a y.}
