crazy horses: galen leather a5 folio
Warm days seem to be here to stay. Under the constant stream of the spring sun, the plants are blooming and happier than ever. The birds sing outside, baby ducks are swimming around on the canal right outside of the house. All of the windows are wide open to let in the fresh air and the sunlight. Perhaps we should change rose-tinted glasses to sun-tinted glasses. With a bit of added warmth, the world looks a little better.

A motorcycle approaches from the distance, sound getting louder as it comes closer. The engine stops, a few houses down the road. You hear people chatter, exchanging pleasantries and then closing the door. They must’ve ordered some food. It’s a quiet evening, noise of the motorcycle diminishing as the delivery guy rides away. A bird chirps. The house is warm, and the only light comes from a small lamp on the side table, illuminating a corner.
first flowers of spring: leonardo momento zero fountain pen
There’s a crisp, biting air outside, but the sun shines. It is blinding a little, everything is too bright. Smoke rises from the chimneys, dissolving into the wind. An old record plays, people chat under your open window. It’s a slow morning, where nobody is rushing anywhere, even the cars seem to disappear. People walk and chat, kids run around. Life already feels a little better in spring after the long, groggy days of winter.
happiness in green: platinum 3776 century fountain pen
A bright green leaf tickles your nose when you enter the room. There are plants everywhere; on shelves, on the floor, hanging from the ceiling. The room smells fresh, rather like the smell of soil after rain. All that foliage drowns out the noise from outside, and you find a nice armchair to sit on. The velvety fabric is soft to your touch, bearing marks of many people who sat there before. The light comes through large windows, hitting every leaf, strange shadows playing on the bright walls. A pot of coffee sits on the small table, the mist curling around the leaves and stems.
