Where is my time machine

You have no idea how many sentences were written in my head before I got to this one.  Eleventy billion sentences. Each of them leading nowhere. The task at hand, is impossible, you see, because there will never be a sentence as beautiful as a sky full of flowering trees. Crab-apple, cherry, plum, pink dog-wood. Everywhere suddenly, despite the chill and fog. Time seems to be slipping through my fingers. A combination of low-grade sickness and too many commitments, from the ridiculous to the monumental. And so I am playing catch up, popping vitamins, and longing for a quiet minute, time to write, and one (or three bottles) of wine. I hope to be back to my old self soon. I want, more than anything, to spend some time with the pink blossoms.

If there was suddenly an extra hour each day meant only for you, what would you do with it?

All love,
*Andrea

Being a college student, I would normally say that I'd spend that extra hour sleeping. However, I'm learning to knit and so my free time is spent entranced in my (really really) imperfect, forming scarf.

I'd grab the phone and catch up with you, of course! You are dearly missed.

Those blossoms! So beautiful, so light, so spring pink delightful. Enjoy watching those petals fall to the ground below... and catching a quiet moment.

An extra hour? I'd cut out collage pieces as my Omar gave my legs pins and needles. Either that or I'd read and not want to stop.

hugs, g xx

such a beautiful photo!

firstly, one extra hour is probably not enough ;) knitting, sleeping would be my choice for one hour extra currently.

[leslie]

I absolutely love the faux bois fabric in your banner! Where did you get it?

an extra hour? sit in the sunshine with a 50 lb lapdog (so i can't move) and a book of poetry. extra points if i can find a wisteria pergola to sit under. :)

i think you know, i would pick up my camera and shoot the entire hour. Happy Spring

These trees are killing me. I mean, aside from the fact that they have turned my allergic head into a ball of goo, they are so stupendously gorgeous that I'm giddy every time I walk down a Portland street. And walking down a Portland street, coffee mug in hand, admiring the skies and landscape here, is exactly what I'd do with my hour.
I hope you get an hour to yourself to enjoy soon!

An extra hour? That's a tough one. I'm torn between knitting, reading, meditation, or yoga. If I get to do one of these activities in any given day then it's been a good day.

If I had an extra hour just for me? No kids and no husband? I think I would read, or do the housework I had been neglecting for those other pesky 24 hours.

You've so beautifully expressed my own dilemma when it comes to writing. However to match my own insignificant words to the infinite beauty around? *sigh*

Well, I'd like to say I'd spend the extra hour sewing and pattern-drafting. Knowing me, however, it'd probably be spent looking at lovely Flickr photos like these . . .
