i love you, june.

Baby Lily at 9 weeks.  

Ethan's 9th birthday, at Aunt Janine's yellow house in Bedford.  18 days until Oak Island.  

Good things about today:

I finally got my laptop to work again.

I thought about my talk with Mammie last night a lot. 

I ate chocolate chips waffles for breakfast.

I didn't work out.

I found my turqouise ring. 

I talked to Erin about how she needs to move here.

Greta is so cute.

I found this sweet photographic show and now I need to go to dc to see it.

I love my house. 

as promised

I had written that I would post a photograph of Betty, so here you are! Lindsay's uncle rescued her from a violent situation, so she was a little skiddish around the wild and crazy Sampson + Greta, but once she found that they were nice, she had the best time with them. I loved seeing them together.

I'll also post a few other shots from the weekend. It's so beautiful there.

last year at the beach

I'm so pumped that I was ahead of the game on this one. New York Times says "Swim Suits Offer More Coverage" and vintage suits are back! This mine from last year (when Sampson was just a babe). You can sort of tell it's old school style. Right? I love it.

a mondayish tuesday

this is simple, and i love it.

this tuesday feels like a monday, and i'm so thankful it's not.

i'll take more walks early in the morning

i'll waste less of everything

i'll be more in tune with my surroundings

This photo was taken as I was walking across the pedestrian bridge in downtown Roanoke. I was working on the TravelHost story and this was something I shot for myself along the way. The clouds were amazing yesterday. Basically everything about yesterday was amazing. It is the beginning of spring and I also got to eat my first breakfast outside on the porch of our new house. Amazing in sharp contrast to the day before when Greta ingested rat poison. She's better now, thank goodness.
