Nest on a Ladder

corey amaro photography living in France

 

Home. Caught a bug on the ride home. Should have worn a mask. Haven't been able to visit anyone really, cause who wants to get this bug? Chelsea comes to Willows this evening, gee I hope I feel better soon, one week is too long when a month is my time home. The last few nights I have gone to bed at 5pm… I have never slept so much!

 Or maybe the mask had nothing to do with it, but the election did.

Coming home after seventeen months away,

living in France as long as I had lived in the States,

My children voting for the first time in an American election.

Knowing my family is growing older… 

Wondering how certain people will feel safe?

Sensitivity, nor anger is a road delicate to thread.

Bloom where you are planted is a challenge,

or maybe the real challenge is scattering seeds.

My Godchild and nephew has changed the most. He is not longer looking like a little boy. Wow. 

He is riding like his dad, like his Vo, my dad.

And he is a very good rider!

How lovely it is to be home, in my mother's house, in her garden…

Many bird houses, nests, on a ladder stand next to my mother's front door.

We are one, together.

  1. Hi DC! Sorry that you caught a bug on the way home. I know how it feels because I caught one too and am on the tail end of it now, two weeks later.
    Love photos of your Mom’s kingdom. Hugs to you and the fam.

  2. Hi. Hope you feel better soon.
    There was a bug going around here in Marin County in September, with a cough that lasted a long time. I hope you don’t have that one. Everyone in my family got it and my son was home for two weeks at the beginning of his college year. Fatigue and temp about 101 and a cough that lasts and lasts. Take care.

  3. Sorry for you beeing ill, just in your time at home! So you have “Bergfest” (something as “Party on the mountain”), as we say in Germany: When both times are of the same length.

  4. Hugs Corey, sorry you are under the weather. Take care and take time to heal. I’m sure you will be back to normal soon with all that TLC you are getting from friends and family. Your mom has the cutest outdoor décor.

  5. Feel better! But if u don’t get thee to a doctor! Bask in your family’s love and enjoy your mom’s cookies.

    Breathe in the peace being in your mama’s house affords you – peace to you, and God’s Peace to all of us in the new future….and acceptance, LOTS of acceptance. It will take my God to provide both of those things – He is good, all the time.

  8. Ohhhh — sorry you caught a bug. It happened to me on my last trip home… one week in bed and coughed my head off.
    Yes — I’m feeling terrible about the election as some of my friends are truly afraid.
    Feel better soon.

  9. SORRY to have missed so many of your posts – reading you is my treat not my daily ‘business’….
    Honestly, the results of the US votes made EVERYBODY I ever knew and know, VERY SICK… So maybe it really wasn’t ‘a bug’ but a …. well, let’s not get into that…..
    For later posts I know that you’re better now, as is Chelsea. So hurrah to both of you
