Thinking Outloud
When I came back from lunch today the last bloom on my purple orchid had fallen. This beautiful botanical has kept watch over my office for nearly 9 months. I've seen each blossom bud and grow and then one by one they have silently fallen. I've been giving myself the whole circle of life pep-talk on repeat. But this is probably the only plant that I haven't killed yet. And now it's gone ahead and died anyway.
As I pulled into my garage tonight and passed the communal dumpster I noticed someone had discarded a little wooden chair. It called to me. Instantly I imagined it in a bright new color and topped with a pair of little tippy-toed feet reaching to help me crack an egg. So I picked it up and brought it home. And suddenly I'm feeling a lot better about the circle of life.

My heart is smiling so big right now. I can't wait to see the journey of that little wooden chair! XO
I am so excited about your find! I these beautiful little glimpes into the future. Tender mercies from the Lord.
I these

love
i hope those little feet make their way here faster than you can re-vamp the chair.
p.s. your orchid is NOT dead! you are lucky it bloomed so long, really. 9 months is amazing. my grandma is an orchid expert so i know a little something. i'll send you some tips. do you know what kind it is? i'm guessing a phalaenopsis?
so sweet & great find!
I had similar thoughts of cooking with my little one before he was here too...it's playing out to be a little more chaotic than I had imagined. He prefers to crack the egg right in his hand. It's so much fun....every time. :|
Your "little tippy-toed feet" will be much more well behaved than mine though, I'm just sure of it!
Love ya & I know I missed a call from you yesterday, so I will call you back today!
YOu are so talented my friend!! I am wondering if I will ever see you guys again.. I can't come again tonight. Tell everyone I miss them.
what a fun find...mostly for the sweet picture you painted to go with it.
I'm sure you'll turn this chair around into something spectacular. Your such a talented little thang!
I wish I had a communal dumptser to find treasures in too! I'm thinking a bright robin egg blue, but then again little toes go with any color:)
