So, I mean, we’ve been all over the map weather-wise, and I’m not too keen on that life. But, still…May, you guys. It’s crazy. Do you remember winter?? I do. We had days upon days upon weeks of negative temps. And everything was covered in ice and snow. Everything. And now we have…flowers. HOW. YouContinueContinue reading “May is magical. It is. You cannot convince me otherwise.”

If you look through the eyes of a tourist, everything is new
I walked about on my lunch break, looking for beautiful things in my city. And I was not disappointed. What’s beautiful for you today, friend?
Livin’ life, taking names
Is it fair to tag this post with a bit of “photography” even though I don’t really have photography skills to speak of, I just snap shots of things that I find breathtaking? Like above, for instance, the glare of the water being shaded by the trees, opening up to the jewel-toned leaves in theContinueContinue reading “Livin’ life, taking names”
Dogged insistence on beauty
It started out with this flower. This yellow one right here, growing out of some broken concrete, saturated against the sky. And I was like, I appreciate this flower’s dogged insistence on introducing beauty to a broken world. Today I didn’t want to be inside for lunch, cramped around my space heater, so I wentContinueContinue reading “Dogged insistence on beauty”
Create or stagnate, little Nell
Oh, hi. It’s been a few days, hasn’t it? I ride on summertime mercy of too much sunshine and too many beautiful gatherings and the Queen Anne’s lace EVERYWHERE this year. Seriously, everywhere. And, by the way, I’m loving it. Can I just ease back into this blog thing? May I write a simple andContinueContinue reading “Create or stagnate, little Nell”

Sunday with the church triumphant
This weekend was kind of just me hanging out and catching up on a million chores. Oh, and taking care of the guinea pigs… Guinea pig update: Kiwi is happy that there’s another guinea pig because it means less attention for her…she can do little doses of affection, but not the amount we lavished uponContinueContinue reading “Sunday with the church triumphant”
Did you want to see Colorado pics?
Yeah, so, I went to Colorado. And then I came back and we jumped into Holy Week and I never shared or chatted about the great Sunshine-y State. But, I’ve got another post up today about Holy Week so, why not just add both?? Oh, and I could add a gallery and all your clicksContinueContinue reading “Did you want to see Colorado pics?”
Post of happy things. Like smiles and laughter and silly shrugs.
My past few days have been full of my car failing and failing and failing again and my hair getting to that point of “HAIRCUT. NEEDS. TO. HAPPEN” but I’m trying to get the cut to wait another week and my body being like, “Is this a good time for a cold? Maybe? I thinkContinueContinue reading “Post of happy things.

Winter/projects/my mom
My camera has been accumulating photos of my mother. This is mostly because in the winter I’m driven more indoors due to snow/cold/ice/my inability to generate body heat and more time indoors = more time for projects! The list is in: My sister and I ordered Triathlon-friendly suits yesterday. After the mere second swimming classContinueContinue reading “Winter/projects/my mom”
