boy's special bday

Yesterday 8th February, was this boy's 7th birthday.

We can still remember the first night he spent with us, it was our own first night in a flat we were starting to rent in Barcelona, just that night, seven years ago, a very special night. With just a bag full of toothbrushes, underwears and some t-shirts and trousers, with a milk cartoon in the fridge and just the mattress on the floor, we took small two month old Cheers home with us.

Many things have happened. We don't longer live in that flat, we've moved to a small village just by the beach. And recently, we've adopted a sister for Cheers. We've all been through a lot, but here we are, celebrating this boy's birthday, and how happy he has made us, all through these seven years now. We love him to the moon and back! Our bday present was a trip to the mountains! To my special magical home! we really had a nice time spending some time around the ancients.

*and a happy selfie, due I don't take almost similing ones,  I thought it was worth it to have one!

bits&pieces of light

I've slipped a wonderful post I must update, but I'm still with the emotions all over me, so, since I haven't had the time for taking just a brief moment for capturing light for some while ago , and for feeling it on my skin and bones, I decided this morning to jump into the few light that was entering the window. Also, I haven't taken a moment for my little ones neither... unfortunately, when I want to photograph them, Boira comes quickly and Cheers goes away before I can capture a moment of himself... I must try harder, he's my little boy.

So this morning, though it wasn't the best of my mornings, and the day has also been a long and rough one, I took a minute or two... just what the time the sun managed to come inside... winter is so dark at home... so though I was feeling under the weather I took some nonsense pictures, but grateful in some hidden strange way... I guess after my first exhibition, and all the emotions that it carried with it, now, I'm way too perceptive and fragile with feelings...

Exhibit post, comming soon...

Boira

This is our new baby girl named Bruna, but we changed her name to Boira. (a catalan name for fog) she's almost five months old, and she's a an adorable clever babygirl.

* (this is a really doggy post, sorry for so many puppy photos... I just didn't want to miss any details of her arriving...)

She was rescued with a month aged from a container... she was brought to an animal shelter whom they take care of lots, and lots of abandoned animals... it's so sad...they do such an amazing job over there.  Because she was only a baby, she was lucky enough to find a wonderful host family. They've been taking care of her giving her lots of love and caring, but they already have two more dogs, so time to come back to the shelter was arriving... I saw a picture of her on Facebook, and we decided to take Cheers to meet her, and see how they could get on... surprisingly, we walked all together for a while, and all went pretty well! (Cheers has fear problems, though he's the best at home, cars, kids, trains, water, all scares him lots, and he turns out a bit defensive some times).

Today is our fourth day with Boira at home, as Cheer's sister. She's so clever, so brave, so loving and happy. She makes us laugh and care so much... Cheer's is having a hard time now, but we think they'll be the best brother and sister! they're really trying, and Boira is a wonderful girl, she's been really loved at her previous home, we're so thankful for that!

It has been a rough decision. We feel the need of giving, of sharing love, and we found the way. It's not easy, Cheers is having a rough time and we love him to the moon and back, so it's hard to watch him making efforts and accepting the new situation, but she's helping him so much.

I take this post as an opportunity to please, if you want to have a small puppy, a dog or cat to love and care, visit your nearest animal shelter, is full of beautiful and suffering creatures waiting for you to look after! and it's SO grateful for them to have a family where they can be loved and happy.

saturday warmth

feels like summer is finally arriving...

peaches, pancakes and raspberry marmalade...

Love peaches... they remind me so much when I was a child... we used to carry our baskets and go down the lane into the field where the peach-trees where... my grandma, my mum and I. Their smell was so strong, there were so many of them, we had to eat tones of them...

now I can't help spending the time smelling them and remembering these bits of childhood, summer, and they taste so delicious...like having a piece of small magic in my hands.
