Transplanted from Chicago to Texas; I’m a suburban/country girl hybrid. I wear many hats- mother, daughter, wife, boss lady, and college student. This blog is about gardening, cooking, parenting (fur babies and skin babies), art, music, and anything else that strikes my fancy.

looked at. Except for him. I fell in love with someone who was human. I watched him walk through the hills and come back in the evening when his work was through. I saw things no woman would see: that he knew how to cry, that he was alone. I cast myself at him, like a fool, but he didn’t see me. And then one day he noticed I was beautiful and he wanted me. He broke me off and took me with him, in his hands, and I didn’t care that I was dying until I actually was.”<br/><br/> - <em>The Story Sisters by Alice Hoffman (via <a href="http://lostinthesounds.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog">lostinthesounds</a>)</em>http://nikkfit.tumblr.com/post/52966325206http://nikkfit.tumblr.com/post/52966325206Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:45:27 -0500story sistersquotealice hoffmanlovered
