the endless days of june are sweet this week. this morning i was awake at 4.30 when the sky was becoming silver with the very earliest start of dawn. stress has been tickling me awake too early the last couple of nights. i stare at the computer looking for houses and making plans until the black at the windows turns gray. and by 6.oo the sun is strong, the day is in full swing. i'm slow. my eyes sting for a good part of the morning. but i walk edgar around the harbor and feel so fortunate to feel summer on my skin. i love the early hours of sunlight with a cool morning dampness still close to the ground. the stress i rarely feel has been real this week, but the long hours of light finds a way to loosen it some. i cut fabric and sew with windows opened fully on to the street, with strong light and loud music and rediscover what i do and why i do it.

i have a photo to post, but i don't have the words tonight. my days are full. and time is chasing me. there seems to always be something i haven't finished and my mind is racing. the studio is in hardcore work mode which means it's pretty messy. and our laundry is piled in the bedroom hoping one of us will fold and put it away. but tonight i've cleaned the kitchen and vacuumed and i'll get to bed soon. i'm just a little too busy this week and need to find the balance again.
