"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkened ways
Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall
From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon,
Trees old and young, sprouting a shady boon
For simple sheep; and such are daffodils
With the green world they live in; and clear rills
That for themselves a cooling covert make
'Gainst the hot season; the mid forest brake,
Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms:
And such too is the grandeur of the dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead;
All lovely tales that we have heard or read:
An endless fountain of immortal drink,
Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink. "
Keats, Endymion Book I

Suze...
I wish you could feel how much I love you, from my point of view... From within my heart.
I do questionable things... I make poor choices. I make you question me and my love.
But the love I have for you inside is pure and beautiful. The song in my heart for you is like no other. It's chords and choruses sing of beauty and light.
I am working on making my outside match my inside... But know that no matter what I say or what I do, the love I feel for you is true.

Wind chimes hang from a smoky orb.....sing the song to the birdies even when Suze is gone.
The wall ivy....a backdrop like waves of the sea over which she crossed to live here. Life ebbs...and flows.....nothing stays the same....and yet it does.
Green, green, green.....ah, let a tiny purple pot be here just because it makes her happy.
Pink...red....pink.....now isn't that enough of a peek??!!

I was a real jerk today, and Suze... Oh my... I love her to the ends of the earth but sometimes I just do not show it.

Yes you do....you really do. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
We both learned a lot from a really awful day.
We know that we can get through whatever comes at us, and we know we can do it with love and respect.
And we know that we keep getting stronger.
The greatest gifts come from some very strange places. I try very hard to learn from my mistakes so that I can be a better version of myself and I know that as a couple we do the same thing. We become a better, stronger, more loving Nick & Suze when we have to deal with the tough stuff.

I have an awful cold and I can't sleep. I just can't breath when I'm lying down and I was tossing and turning so much that I was disturbing Nick.....so I'm up.
What do you do at 3 (now nearly 4) in the morning when you live with someone else and you can't sleep? I have never been in this situation before....I have been sitting here in the dark for more than half an hour worried about making noise or turning on a light. Can I put the kettle on? It is going to sound like a spaceship at this time of morning, but I really want a cup of tea.
The coffee machine is even louder. Hmm. What to do.
I know I sound silly, but I really don't know.
I know what Nick would say.....I can hear every word in my head. He would tell me not to worry, to look after myself, that he would make me a cup of tea himself if he knew I couldn't sleep....
I have been up for an hour now sneezing and coughing. I need a hot drink.....fingers crossed that I do not make too much noise.

Nick buys me beautiful flowers all of the time, and I'm very lucky that he doesn't mind that I have a tendency to 'Suze' them.
Chopped sunflowers for example in a jug are just gorgeous to me...

It took me a while, but I finally got my coffee.
So far, no floorboard creaks from above....this is a good sign.
Although, how anyone could sleep through the noise my coffee machine makes is beyond me.
(It's an espresso pod machine, if anyone has one.....they are LOUD).

I know you hurt your back love, hope it's getting better. 
And thank you.
And awesome Crois ~ I think you will like it.
So....do you guys remember my lament at leaving all of my beautiful plants?
I have all of them now.....every single plant I left behind, and then some.
I ordered gloxinia bulbs and planted them and hoped for the best.....gosh we have had a wonderful time watching them grow.
Plant no 2 is about to open its first flower today. I think it may be red and white.....I hope so....looks purple and white again though.

♥ Guys.....Nick and I are getting married on September 23rd.
At Scioto River, outside, late afternoon.
It will be small, but there is plenty of room for anyone who can come....if you feel like a trek to Columbus in Spring, we would very much love you to be there. ♥
