Making a list... of memories

A busy kitchen...


A puppy meeting a scaredy cat...


A walk in the snow...


A cold nose...


An old apple tree...


Peace...

Monday Morning Warm-up:

Part 1:
Make a list of words and phrases that describe your weekend.

Here's my list.

A 5k first
Serving at community dinner
A birthday cake
New friends
Greeting family
Party mix
Puppy kisses
Winks and eye rolls
Champagne
Melty boursin
Two kinds of stuffing
Mashed potatoes
Sweet potato casserole
Squash
Favorite white wine
Three pies for five people
Apple
Pumpkin
Pecan
Ice-cream
Sharing Christmas lists
Longing for more time
Boots crunching in snow
Quiet dirt road
I miss you's
I love you's
He's getting so big
Music
Laughter
Memories
Missing those not here
Whispers
Hand holding
Hugs
Cheers
Long good-byes
Lungs filled with cold air
Chest filled with happiness
Heart filled with love

Part 2:
Take the phrases and words you like best from your own list and turn it into a poem! I'm not too thrilled with what I came up with for my list, but it was fun to re-see the weekend this way, and think about the strongest images/moments. Since I wasn't happy with my words, I ended up just using a few photos and making a mostly wordless poem (above) instead. :-)
