Whites


perhaps
 it's because

i'm coming off

a busy week

capped by an all-night slumber party

with 7 eight year old boys

high on sugar

sweaty

messy

rough and tumbly



perhaps

it's because we're

bang in the middle of summer

my favorite season


until autumn arrives



perhaps

it's because my house seems to be

in a perpetual tip

rather than the

a peaceful

minimalist

(clean) place
i would like it to be





but i've been dreaming of white lately


 white

on white

on

white



of course

that's obviously a house

or at least

a living room

with no small children

mucking around



but it's lovely







and did i mention

that the exterior of my house
 needs to be painted?
badly


i'd like something like this, please


that porch was made for summer afternoon naps





and if i had no small children

i might have an office 

where everything is in it's place
put away
neat








right now

i'd really like to climb into this

downy

inviting

bed

with its heirloom linens

fine lace

vintage chenille




actually

my bed is a bit like that

minus the heirloom shtuff



white on white



but bigger

messier



with lots of room



for two adults



and four

messy

rumply

delightful

children



i guess white is a little



overrated
