living colorfully.

Take a minute to enjoy all the color that floods your everyday life. 

holiday drive.

Friends, it's a beautiful morning.

Traveling home for the holidays has begun.

Pit stop number one was such a treat.

There was hugging. A few zumba dance moves. Presents exchanged. More hugging.

Pizza from our favorite place. Coffee & reminiscing. Fun with cats & lots of laughter.

Being with old friends is wonderful.

I channeled my inner Leslie Knope and a spent day in the park.

It was a cool 60 degrees and felt like the fall. The sky was clear,

the trees were beautiful & despite a close encounter with some geese,

 it was a wonderful day.



a day on the mountain.

The day.

It started with pancakes. Chocolate chip & regular.

It's going to be a good day when it starts with pancakes.

I've decided.

An afternoon hike on Monte Sano with some friends.

The fall weather was beautiful; the air was crisp and fresh. 

It was a wonderful way to spend Veteran's day.

There was however an attack of a few yellow jackets.

Bee stings hurt more than I remember.

I wouldn't mind going another ten years without being stung. 

Today was a good day. Minus the bee sting.

To Everything. Turn, Turn, Turn.

The last weekend in October really kicked fall up a notch. It brought brisk air, homemade hot chocolate and the prettiest leaves on trees. I grew up in central Florida...other wise known as the land of one season. I don't think I had any idea what joy I was missing out on during the fall months.  It is so refreshing to see things change, grow and come to fruition at exactly the time they are suppose to. It is a wonderful reminder that things in life are often like that. We go through seasons of stillness, seasons of rare growth seasons of waiting and seasons of beautiful change. Hope abounds in the reassurance that we have a creator who planned the seasons, who knows our seasons and will see us through each one. What a wonderful time of year.
