Come on in out of the cold. We're having tea and cookies here at PSB, with a bit of warm milk available too. The sofa is cozy, the world seems far away, and no one minds if there are a few feathers flying.

Dreamer, sweetie, have you still got your little furry friend, your cat? Poor you, you've moved about so much & been footloose so much that you must feel like you should grow wheels instead of feet. How's your kitty taken all these moves?
I've moved 33 or 37 times in my life (I forget which) & I hate the thought of moving again. My landlady wants to sell this place which means moving again. I so wish I could set roots down. Stay in one home forever now. Maybe I'll become a tree. There's times I don't want to eat but my body tells me I need food. I'd like to photosynthesize & eat only when I WANT to so a tree sounds good with its deep roots.
What's your place like now? Are you able to keep little mementos that bring back fond memories? My brain's been sharp but strangely mixed up the last month or so & I've lost track of your wanderings even though I've read all your posts. I wish my brain was a bit better organised so I could find a memory when I want to instead of them popping into my mind at the oddest times & then out again.
Seeing you live in England, do you call your cat a moggy too? Moggies. It has such an affectionate sound to it. If you can, do you want to email me?

...here in North America, they're more often called a mountain ash, but same tree. I love the finely divided leaves, the spray of white flowers in spring & the bright red berries in the fall. And every fall, migrating birds, generally waxwings, come & strip the berries off in a couple of days. It makes me happy to think the berries are fueling the birds for their long migration flight. I started 2 trees as seedlings, 11 years ago & have taken then with me whenever I've moved. I've got them planted in garbage cans & if I can ever have a home to call my own, I'll plant them.
When my youngest was only 4, he called rowan trees, broccoli trees. He thought the unopened flower spray, tightly closed in bud, looked like tiny broccoli - & they do! The world, seen through the eyes of a child, is a wondrous thing. It was him that noticed that the flowers of wild mustard I had growing in my veggie garden (to trap flea beetles) smelled like chocolate & very strongly! Hence, they became chocolate flowers to him.
I like a place to be fairly bare & minimalist. It feels less cluttered & is easier for cleaning (& moving). I like the Japanese idea of decor - murals on the wall & a minimum of furniture, & what there is is close to the ground. I like sitting on floors anyway.

You never fail to conjour such fresh beautiful imagery in my mind.
I'm sorry you have to move..I hardly have any belongings now..I always throw alot away it cleanses my mind and makes room for new things.
My garden is concrete..I live near a busy road..but I am lucky to get such a big place I was so close to being homeless.
I would like to have little bonzi (sp?) trees but I'm never lucky with even the hardiest plant.~sweetness.....
