Snow

It can be so sad, snow. And yet so ever beautiful I think. Poor Francesca. Pray for the Anobiles and her friends. Thinks seem so innocent at times. But this world is not our friend. Still, snow seems so pure and crisp when it first falls. After a long storm, all the white seems brighter and purer than the sun. But it isn't. Every spring returns a true perspective. hmmm. And of course we come along and make everything ugly and muddy and ice. Snow is just for looking at. I do so love snow.

happy morns

Yippy! So this morning we had chilled peaches and flatbread and it was superblelicous! Honest to hats, I do so love food. Not just the food of course, you know. The people silly. Belle says that it's like sharing a sunset with the clouds, or sharing a big somer blue with a bird, or a gigantor field with the sky; sharing a meal with people. I love it when belle talks like that. She's always so thoughtful like that, you know.
Aeamathor!

"blustery" was in

danalay.
the wind told me last night, when i asked it about flying
(you know how i talk to the wind. No? Well let's see.
You know i go to the meadows sometimes,
well once when i was really young,
I met the wind! He was there talking with the grass,
so i listened in, not to be rude of course but it was quite loud,
yes, and now we're good friends. but it doesn't like my hat,
don't know why...
hmm)
Anyhu
so the wind told me last night that flying isn't the fun thing
and lifting little baby birds in his arms isn't quite it either.
But what really is truly his thing is running his hands through hair and rustling colourful banners and just playing in the grass..ahme whether weather
I wish i could be the wind too
oy
not my hat then eh?

ta!

Christmas

wow. That was fast.
Merry Christmas!

park ride gone... purple

Belle: "By Cedric's Whiskers! Tis a purple cow! A PURPLE COW!"


so yeah that was pretty much our drive int park.
I know, dumb idea, every last tree in sight was a cow...arrgg
Other than belle and the cowthingy it was fun, nice day anyways
-bruk

purple cow

Ok. Wow

so after our game of H&S this eve (which SOMEONE ::nudgism-TIA-nudgism:: giggled like halfway thrue) some of us stayed and we're standing by the a shelf (yeah duh, it's a library, but whatever) and belle was leaning on one, and I said something about she shouldn't lean on it and ugh
me: "and stop leaning on...the - - purple - - cow"
and duh, that was stupid. (But hey! That's what it honestly looked like!)
gosh

it turned out to be just "The Pursuits of Commanders" some biography on generals er something
ANYHU!

So belle has been saying purple cows ALL LUNDIN DAY

you ask ME why I bug her sometimes
argg

Seasons

Myhat!
It's been a bit, eh?
We've all been so busy making the manor fit for the weather,
Grounds are looking simply gorgeoifacent, and oh! the trees!
it makes me smile.
anyhou,
we got a new coffee dripper the other day
tia broke it, but we fixed it, silly
and it is absolutely fab. =)


whether weather,
I have some work to do with the cherry trees,
such a load at times, but like love...
...er something, oh bother,

ta!
-belle =)

night of fun

Righty-O! oooo, I could burst wishing you could join us. Grace and liss and belle and oh just everybody are going to play hide and seek in the stacks this evening! We ought not to play in the library but mistress says it’s alright so, yes.
It really is silly, some of us all grown up I suppose. But we are the Fam! I would never understand how people get along without 20 or so cousins to get along WITH...sighing
whether weather
Kisses!

quiet eve's

It is raining again. It’s ok I guess, but it makes me feel kinda weird coz everyone goes off to either the hall or the boxes and it get’s real quiet up here. Yes I’m in the sitting rume cases you all might wonder. It is peaceful, but you know how it is. Belle has been singing a lot lately and I have this tune stuck in my head. I should probably go listen to some music then eh? Silly me.

Ok, I have the music. It is old 1920’s american stuff. But it’s good for american. I wonder what they are watching down at the boxes... I’ll go see

Opera, oh sweet. Ok gunna go watch. Catchya enIene.
Aeamathor!

a spot of life / reflect

Hi. Everyone is so busy. So I’ll just write. It is funny actually. Everyone is busy at doing, rather, nothings. They like doing nothings. With all their little nothings to do, I guess they just don’t have time. Hmm. Em says that many people try to fill their life with something, and their life gets consumed by it. She says that a long time ago, Mistress Layna told her about the way her great grandpapa would do things. He would live out little nothings, and together, they made something all on their own: a life. I guess the Mistress has passed that down to her decedents as well. Hmm. I am so glad the family has taken me in. I don’t know what I would do without them. They are all so kind to me. Cedric too. I guess we both are one of a kind eh? Not part of the family, but close enough. The gang calls him uncle cedric. But somehow, he lets me call him grandpapa. I think he likes it. I used to call him that just for fun. But I guess he really is my grandpapa now. Whether weather. He is better now. I ought to have told you. Brooke says that he is a remarkably fast healer for such an age. I wish I could be that cheerful and sprite if I live that long. Supper. Aeamathor,

Business

Hi. itsme. I know. Lots of fun aren’t I. I finished the book. Yes, I read slowly. The time was just stretched out. Lots going on. It was good. I liked it. It feels nice to know the end. But you get lonely without it. The book I mean. Like you lost something. Or part of you. That “I can always go read my book” feeling. But life moves on. It does that. Like fighting, almost. Bruk says at least. He tolled me that if you don’t fight the blows, you get hit. But if you ride them, you win. He is teaching lynn. I like to watch. Thoe I don’t think I ever will try to learn. I will always have some many others who know around me. It makes me glad to know that. Not that they can, or that I could. But that they would. Hmm. Brooke just walked by with Cedric’s tray. I wrote him a note. He likes that. And I like knowing that he does. Sometimes, if I leave a note on his desk, he will leave one in my sunbonnets just to see if I wear them. If it is in the winter thoe, I almost never wear a sunbonnet. And I love waiting for summer to come again and I check to see all the lovely things he writes to me. Cedric has such beautiful handwriting. I wish I could write like that. I guess I just wish things to much, hmm. Em says that wishing is good because it makes one feel uncomfortable. I guess she means that it helps you move towards achieving something. Like hunger. Belle is always hungry. I like food. We eat a lot here I guess. Brooke just came back. She says that Cedric ate all of his food and took his herbs without fuss. I am glad. He can be quite a duzzley old boy about things like that sometimes. He says that we ought to try a thing’s resolve before we trust it. I guess he is right. He is almost always right. But he says things in English that I don’t always understand. Hmm. Liss, Grace and I are going to the stacks this afternoon. Perhaps I should grab a dictionary while I am at it. It is too bad. Dictionaries. They do not give a great deal of context in instances. Unlike plays. Or Opera. Shakespeare helped me with the “wit” thing a whole lot. But I guess people who grow up on English just pick up the intricacies quickly. It is still taking me time. Cedric says I am very good at it thoe. He always likes what I do. brooke and I. I guess we are his “pets” of sort. Everybody loves the old man. Even Wyn. Wyn is hard to tell. But I know he likes c.t. I do know it. Em says that you can always tell by the way someone listens how they will speak. I guess that is true. When Wyn listens to belle, you can see the way he analyzes. Belle is so much fun. But hard. Her speaking I mean. I guess this is too long now hmm. I’ll just stop then.
off my hat as belle would say
