a rough worn chair waits in the garden of my parent’s. remaining a favorite place to soak in the sun. there amongst the sunflowers and the pomegranate tree it has taken root. long days and dark nights it weathers time without a change of place. with its arms always open, feet firmly planted, my name it calls.
A place called Home

It is true that no matter how old we are when we go home to our parents…we are home, again, just like we never left.

I like that pic. To me that looks like an old pic (from the 40’s or 50’s), taken in an orange grove or crop field in Florida.
*Sigh* Maybe I am just homesick. lol -
What a beautiful post. Love the picture and love the way you write, so thoughtful and romantic.As always, thank you for letting us in your beautiful life.

What a beauty of a post (and the previous one had me laughing and laughing and then smiling for a nice long time afterwards.)
The images that your words evoke is that this rooted chair is growing … I can see little shapes coming out of the upright back posts … lively. Magic. -
a holy and sacred place

This would be a great shot for the Flickr photo pool (see this post for more info http://www.mamasaysom.com/2006/04/friday_photo_feature_careworn.php)

I would like to hear the stories that chair would have to tell.

Hello… do you think it is also calling my name too? I’m sure it is! A perfect little spot in the sun for everyone!

Okay, can I ask how much you weigh? Because I’m not sure that’s gonna hold up much longer.
Yes, yes… leave it up to me to ruin your idyllic post with a realistic comment! -

Picture request – I want to know more about that pomegranate tree? I eat poms everyday all winter and never catch a cold or flu until they run out. I’d like to see what a tree looks like-next picture peut-etre?

Sit and rest. You’ll have it made in the shade 🙂

Around the world you may travel and roam but truly there is NO place like home.
Thanks for your precious photographs and memories shared.

Oh, what a beautiful image! Arms open and an old friend of the family…sometimes objects can bring back so much memories and would be hard to let go of.
-
That is a great picture, Corey. I have to ask you how you are liking this crazy heat?! Are you wilting there in Willows?
🙂 -
I am glad you have been able to answer as home calls your name this month.
-
taking root–something that normally didn’t exist in that particular place has found a place of belonging, a place of acceptance among the branches…
-
Ahh, the comfort zone…our parents’ house. And the sepia (sp?) effect is great!
-
You can see the time passing by looking at this chair….
-
A different kind of tree…to find comfort and rest.
-
beauty found in the newly formed taproot…
-
what a wonderful place to be!

Love chair like that, with roots

Hello Corey,
This is another image of yours that I just love!
I have happily done what was requested on my blog (and replied to you there in the comment section next to your comment). Thank you for being so gracious : )
Blessings, Wendy -
Very evocative image. I like the description of its surroundings.
This is a picky suggestion, but could you eliminate the “there”? I’m not sure about that.
