a hummingbird with a paper heart

If I were a word, I would be verb. A 'doing' word. I do not stop. I am never static. Like a hummingbird I must keep flapping my wings, must keep thinking, changing, making, doing, becoming...

I have been taking some time to gather ideas this week. To be inspired... by the blogs I read of course and also by some new books, both bought and borrowed, and by the slow turn of summer into my favourite season, autumn.

Last night I read Magical Hoofbeats . I imagine galloping towards woodland on the back of a white mare. Do you know I have never been on a horse? I have added it to my list of 101 things I must do soon, or at least, sooner or later.

I have read LOTS of books this week. Each will be mentioned in their turn.

And I have been playing with paper. So I have also finally started my little scrapbook project. I keep a paper journal you see. But lately I took a notion that I would like to 'depict' as well as write my life on to paper. So my new scrapbook journal is in words and pictures. Therefore it is less rambling and more satisfying... but oh, I see that I have started to ramble on this blog instead...

  1. oh you must try horseback riding, it s such a great feeling when you notice that you can control a big animal like horse :) and horses are very therapeutic, just being near them helps :)

  4. I think I would be a verb too, something like dreaming or creating or collecting. :) I love searching on line for fall inspiration too!

  5. Such a lovely photo :) I really want to horse ride too, I did it very briefly when I was 9 and keep wanting to do it again.

    I stopped by to thank you for your comment, but have been distracted by looking at your lovely posts and your perfect book selection... so many of these are my favourite too, I've been inspired to look up the rest :)

    And I've added you to my list so I can keep reading!
