days & nights in a swirl

happy october! my favorite month: it is so golden. And so here are bits and pieces from recent daily life, lately, scattered right here and swirled::::::::::::::::::


I go down to the iowa river occasionally, to walk and be with the river--sometimes i write there too; i did this day::::::::;;
it was just some mama and q-dog bonding time, yes:;;;;



and i've been dreaming of sewing soon, soon, piling up piles and dreaming::::

the above is my favorite bedtime poem, i just really love it:::::;;and bedtimes are so nice in the autumn aren't they--just the best::::::::;
this is a dino train; a dino line-up; officially, the dinos will all get in the bathtub now:::::::;;(and those dinos are a crowded closet score!)


this is bedtime; finn's good old blue bed that was his crib too (rarely);;this week i did get a big mattress but he said he missed his old bed after one night, so we returned to it::::;;;;
