dress-up days

Today she sits at the window sill with a long white dress over her clothes.  The puffy sleeves remind her of a princess.  She sits dreaming about little fairies painting the pansies with spots of color on their petals, horses, sweet sisters {ugly ones too} and friendships galore.  She hums little tunes that linger in my brain all day--little songs from her favorite movies and shows.  She is happy and somewhat disturbed and startled when I pop over with my camera to document this beautiful imagination.  She stares at me with a sparkle in her eyes and a far-off look--a look that tells me she is engrossed in her imaginary world and somewhat oblivious to me.  I snap a few shots and retreat to watch her from afar.  

Happiness is a window sill, a white dress-up dress and a vivid imagination on a quiet Friday morning.
