A week late, and because I'm posting from my iPhone I can't seem to
get the canvas right. But be that as it may, I still wanted to post
this!

"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

At least the first week. It's been a tough go the last few weeks... both of us having crazy busy schedules... but I think things are just about to get better! :) I love my friend!

2163 miles...

...between friends.

So it begins... While miles may separate them, friendship does not! 2 friends decide to celebrate their "far-a-way-ness" by documenting where they live in photos. Sometimes it'll be what they see in the morning, or the evening, or what's happening in their lives at any given time. While both girls love the written word... it is the joy of imagery that is being captured here. So while they are 2,163 miles apart... one in south Texas... one in a valley in Washington State, they are joined in this blog.

The Fall of the year is celebrated very differently in these areas of our country. In the great beautiful Northwest, it is the pumpkins we see... big and ripe and bursting with "orange-ness". In south Texas, it's the green we see... the flowers that have come back to life after a summer slim of rain.
