In the garden my favourite tree, a dwarf mulberry. twisted around itself, all of its branches wrapped in a giant self embrace.....  Quiet spots to sit remind me I need to do more of that, with no computer in sight....  Pieces of art embedded everywhere, like this luna in the back of the horno.....  lovingly built by mi amor who, when people look at our home and ask him, "so you're an artist too?" doesnt yet feel comfortable saying, "Yes".  I think he is an amazing artist ♥ All over our casa small loving , detailed touches, each a work of art, like the stai...
