Every word in the post is the truth and we can so easily forget it. Thank you for the reminder and the wonderful photos that let us stop a moment and take a breath.
This is good! I have a feeling your child will thank you for being an awesome mother... Sometimes not cleaning the sink and instead taking time for yourself are important prerequisites!
Cheers, poet

I have savoured all of your shots, the last one in particular. It's stunnng!
Reading this post gave me the opportunity to sort out a horrible day. Thank you, thank you. I have been known to drive miles and miles just to see a field of sunflowers. My favorite was in southern France en-route to Rome on a train. If I could have stopped that train I would have. Thanks again for the memories! Your work is stunning.

in real life...

...the sunflowers are ten feet tall, maybe twelve.
...you should never go to work for a friend.
...not everything makes sense.

...when you pick raspberries, you get a lot of bugs too.
...getting a good night's sleep really does help you ward off a cold.
...it's not always about you.

...sunshine makes things seem much better.
...you can't fool a horse.
...it's boring to make the child a lunch to take to school every day.

...making a really brilliant, simple dinner has the capacity to make you feel ridiculously satisfied.
...thus, things are simpler than you make them out to be.
...you will stray from the recipe.
...there won't be any leftovers.

...your child will amaze you more than you would ever have imagined. daily.
...rereading a favorite book is a very good thing.
...you'll waste a lot of time, put off doing laundry, avoid cleaning the sink and on occasion let your refrigerator get kinda disgusting.

...you will feel much better all day if you stop to breathe, look and take a picture of a scene like this. even if it's only taking a picture in your head. *click*
