If you look closely, you can sometimes see all the seasons at once: the bareness of winter, burnt tones of autumn, leafyness of summer, and shoots of spring.

I'm reminded with the changing seasons that I'm changing too.

I'm interested in mundane things.

Things like:

i. a person's daily routine (one they probably find boring but that's what interests me about it)

ii. what they eat for breakfast (or if they eat breakfast at all)

iii. what they listen to when driving

Such little things, yet they tell so much about a person.

i. During the week, I get up every morning between 7 and 7:30. Lay in bed for a bit, check my email to wake myself up. Go downstairs, fix breakfast, read the newspaper. Get dressed, pull out my computer and sit at the kitchen table to work on whatever needs working on. Lunch. Class or chiropractor or errand running in the afternoons, depending on the day. Work on Thursday and Saturday nights. Dinner whenever I fit it in, bed by 10:30 or 11.

ii. Nine times out of ten there is bread with some form of cheese and jam. Or peanut butter. Sometimes there are scrambled eggs or omelets or a cup of yogurt with diced fruit. And coffee. Always coffee. A latte or iced coffee or just with milk, depending on my mood.

iii. Usually it's one of the three country stations in town (yes) or whatever's on my ipod. Although lately, there's been a lot of NPR listening goin' on...

And that is my normal, my mundane. What's boring to me may seem interesting to you, and what's boring to you is interesting to me.

Feel free to respond to these questions in the comments or adapt this list to post on your own blog/wherever you like :)

On yet another walk to the post office this morning (sending off lots of books to beautiful people!!!), the composition and colors of this house caught my eye.

Been creating SO.MUCH. these past few days - can't even properly form thoughts, let alone sentences, at the moment. There's just so much swirling around in that brain of mine. Everywhere I look, there's something I want to capture and I can hardly contain myself. Ahhh. It's amazing how that creative side of you can suddenly come awake after lying dormant for so long. Hope to be sharing a lot in the days to come.

Hope your Wednesday is treating you well!

two of my favorite pictures i've ever taken, probably because i love the person in them so so much.
