stone #28

i am moving house tomorrow, and my dreams
have become infested with moving and packing.

i strip the willow of its leaves and pack them
carefully into a box, hoover and bag up the clouds,
collect the birds from the sky and bubblewrap the sun.

'Bubblewrap the sun' - lovely, and I hope your move goes smoothly.

Thanks Sandra. I actually moved on Friday (I'm a few stones behind at the moment!), and it all went well thanks. Just ready for a long lie down now ;)

Oooh this is fantastic, I love it! :-)

It has been a real pleasure to visit and read your small stones this month, I am so glad I discovered you in 'the river'!

I am continuing to share my captured moments and I shall definitely be continuing my visits here.

Glad to have met you! and I'm glad the move went well.

Thanks very much Susannah! I'm glad you have enjoyed reading my stones in July, and I hope to continue to post my moments too.

I've also enjoyed reading your blog, enjoyed your stones and endless supply of wonderful quotes!

And I trust the sun was well protected? I am wondering if in your dreams you might find a way to pick up all the willow leaves in my yard.

Teri - the sun came through the move unscathed! It's up there in the morning sky now. I'll do my best with the willow leaves, maybe I'll stitch them together into a garland, and loop them around the sun!
