summer's end

it came today; the snow.

great, white, fluffy flakes falling down from a darkened sky. ah, how i wish summer could go on forever! and maybe that's what heaven will be like. {fingers crossed}

but part of me is oh, so happy because now i can *breathe.* breathing is good, right?

in summer we just *go, go, go.*

and last saturday becca and i chose to make that our *last* saturday at market. and when we woke to a thin cover of snow this morning? sooo happy i didn't have to go sit out in the cold today!!! market's on wednesday and saturday and sunday.

so. 

now for the cold, the dark, the time of settling inside. i want this winter to be a time of renewal and turning inward. a time to fill the artistic well and to *create.* becca and i have committed to spend time on our etsy shop, which i'm actually really excited about. i want to finish my room and get the studio in working order so we don't have to steal time at the kitchen table. i want to paint every week and make jewelry every day. 

so many plans!

God, i pray you will shine your favor on my endeavors. i pray that the works of my hands will be pleasing to you. help me shine, Father God. show me the way.
