Gentle Things

I like the gentle things in life.
The curl of your eyelashes as they rest against your cheek when you sleep.
The way you absentmindedly run your fingers along the bones in my wrist when you tell me about the last days you spent with your mother.  The steady clinking reverberating through your truck as the rains soft fingers drum against the windows and we huddle on your leather seats to keep warm. The way you slowly push my hair behind my ears and feather kisses upon my brow as I cling tight and inhale the scent of you until it fills me completely. The crinkling of your eyes as you smile into my over-sized sweater when I throw my head back in laughter. The deep humming of your throat as we talk about the things we're scared of losing. My head resting against your chest and your hand on my back gently steadying the beating of my wild heart as the sound of your voice dances around me and lulls me to sleep.

The Next Seventy Years Of My Life

You taste like a sleepy, messy haired, bare toes, yawn over a cup of steaming coffee on a chilly Saturday morning. You taste like a rumpled cotton t-shirt and threadbare shorts sitting on the kitchen counter laughing at a joke I told you two days ago. You taste like a too hot latte, warming my frozen fingertips on an October day. You taste like fresh pancakes and giggles in bed. You taste like the next seventy years of my life. - D

October First

Tis the season of all things pumpkin.. Once the temperature dropped I began spending a lot of time baking anything and everything. My last creations I made were brown sugar cream cheese frosting cinnamon rolls, however it being the first of October I thought it would be fitting to post something more pumpkin related.. I was really lucky this day because I had hit every single grocery store in the area and everyone was out of pumpkin purée and I had finally found some at Harvest Foods, so of course I had to buy like five cans... You never know when the mood will strike😏

Anyway, below are a few pictures of the most delicious and moist pumpkin bread I have ever had the pleasure in making! Oh, and I topped it off with maple glaze. Can't get any better than that!
