fog at daybreak

 

♥

sometimes something precious is tucked… safely away, we think,

until we uncover it, it remains obscured.

I’d just finished reading this book..

When God Was a Rabbit, by Sarah Winman

and who should I stumble across, but
this little fellow

whose mother had tucked, camouflaged, against floor and wall

but not safe..

with coaxing she moved and found her way back into her anxious mother’s circling care..

what a beautiful find!!

♥

it’s such a busy time of year.. so much spring-cleaning and events to attend to..

here is a quick evening meal… nothing fancy, mind you

but it just might help you

see your way through the fog of your week…
