The Battlefield Where the Girls Say I Love You



That's just the thing: we will never tell you we love you. In fact, we're here only to hold hands across state lines and yell at the world. We're here to try to touch you across this chasm of flown things. Not even that. At most, I will teach you how to make a gin smoothie when there's nothing left in the house. Hannah can teach you several languages and what to do when your car breaks up with you. Thanks for coming out.

Ah, the elusive sitting child, I’ve never seen one in the wild. Good capture!

oh holy! i want a porch like that! just think your forming the story of their lives right now. awesomeness.

hannah said...

they're rare indeed. oftentimes, sitting only for a few moments before hurling sharp objects.

and thanks, m. i'm pretty in love with it myself (the porch that is); forming their story is a fingers-crossed sort of project. will say that at dinner they both twirled their pasta with forks and spoons beautifully :)

i love those pictures. they're peaceful. the calm before the storm, the breath being sucked in before the scream. calm, serenity, if just for a moment.

I, too, covet that porch. Beautiful! (The children are too, of course.)

these photos might lead viewers to believe that our entire blog is a lie.
i'll tell you what IS misleading...that f-ing porch. the leaks! clem! the, er, palmetto bugs!

hannah said...

clem? wonderful creature, who has made the long sally-drive back to sb.

palmetto bugs? gone for the winter.

leaks? i offered you one of SIX other totally dry chairs!! you're the only thing that was leaked on. 'no, no,' she motions politely with her hand, water dripping down her back, 'i'm just fine, thanks.' i blame you and your stubbornness for that.

um, i just noticed that you, dear mamie, associated my clementine with a *problem.* with ROACHES! clementine is not a ROACH!

she's a beautiful cat who likes nice people. most people. occasionally lacks taste in men. but other than that, she's PERFECT.

okay. done ranting.

hannah said...

mames, you do sound a little crazy talking abt cats. they're ALL perfect. even Maus who is suicidal and runty (she won't GROW!!).
