A quiet evening

13th November 2006

Today there was so much rain! I haven’t got a huge amount to say today, but I found this poem which I like so here it is:

I dwell in Possibility -
A fairer House than Prose-
More numerous of Windows-
Superior- for Doors-

Of Chambers as the Cedars-
Impregnable of Eye-
And for an Everlasting Roof-
The Gambrels of the Sky-

Of Visitors- the fairest-
For Occupation- This-
The spreading wide my narrow Hands-
To gather Paradise-

-Emily Dickinson

Oh yes – a wonderful rainy day here in Ferny Creek too! PERFECT for playing indoors at the sewing machine!

Love this poem, I read it for a class once in grade school. :)

Am also loving this NaBloPoMo because everyday I get a LoobyLu treat!

hi loobylu

i dont have a comment exactly. Rather, a question.

I’m having my first family christmas at home this year, and i want to make it really fun, colourful, and most of all – cost-effective!

Are there any websites you can suggest? like crazy japanese or minimalist swedish ones, or something?

And are you planning anything wonderful for your christmas?

I’d love your help! :)

Thanks-a-million
