my favorite cottage in chapel hill

"could you coo, could you care
for a cunning cottage
that we could share
the world will pardon my mush
cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you"

frank sinatra, lyrics- I've got a crush on you

beauty above me,
beauty below me,
beauty all around me."

barefeet preferred for romping on the lawn. found beside a picnic blanket, owners absent!


"going barefoot is the gentlest way of walking and can symbolise a way of living — being authentic, vulnerable, sensitive to our surroundings. It's the feeling of enjoying warm sand beneath our toes, or carefully making our way over sharp rocks in the darkness. it's a way of living that has the lightest impact, removing the barrier between us and nature."

-- adele coombs, "barefoot dreaming"
