Legendary Fluff

The summer fluff season has begun around here, much to my delight and my horror. Delight is obvious: floating on the breeze are hundreds of tiny white tufts from the cottonwood trees. If you've ever seen the movie Legend you will look in my backyard and expect a unicorn to trot out of the shrubbery. It looks positively magical.



It's also the bane of my life because the fluff season corresponds with Charlie and I getting slammed with seasonal allergies. We're both constantly jittery and stoned from pills and you can tell when they've worn off because the fusillade of sneezing starts. But the fluff certainly is pretty.

I spent most of the day in the basement hiding from nature and working on my scrappy project. So, so many pieces of fabric.

Forget the fluff, I love the peaceful sounds of the birds on the video clip. A sublime soundtrack.
