why i love windmills...


this book is why.
i found an image of the cover online...
but it is in this house...somewhere.
i would never get rid of it.
when i was about 11 or 12 i read it...
and then i read it again and again.
written by Hila Feil,
it tells a lovely story of an 11 year old girl
who spends a summer in a windmill...
sharing it with many woodland creatures.
this book became my little secret childhood wish.
it still is.


i should go find that book
and read it today.
i could use a summer windmill story right about now.


i do this every spring...
wait impatiently for a warm breeze and chirpy birds.
daydream of hammocks, wildflowers and bare feet.
chipmunks, bunnies and baby mice.


yesterday was so yucky.
snowy, blowy...chilly.

so we just tried to ignore it.
(yes, i layer my granny squares. don't even worry about it)

our little easter weekend...


Nothing fancy... 


mama duck and her babies joined us...


We enjoyed
Great Aunt Be's china...


Little bunny family came out...
kind of like us...
only 3...
and feeling like something's missing.
(look at their sombre faces)


Emma is in Amsterdam now...
someday I would love to stay in a windmill.
Just putting it out there...


It was also my birthday...
I received some goodies.


Full moon came up over the trees...
and then of course I was up half the night.
It just does something to me.
I love the moon.
