…the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder. (Thoreau) Or, if I may amend, on the flower above your head. Or on your pants leg. There was lots of butterfly happiness happening yesterday when…
Up
As I rummaged through my iPhone photo library this morning, I realized something. Apparently I love clouds. And I look at the sky. A lot.
Life Lately…
…has been really busy…and a little bit snowy. (In case you can’t tell, in the photo below is a weird iron gated wall that is overgrown with ivy. I have no idea what’s behind all of it; it’s just a cool looking mystery.) But this next photo subject is a little more obvious. Swoon. I…
Blue…
…flower on a grey day.
Good Night, Moon…and Sun
Early birthday presents…to me, from me.
Sweet Diversity
Chocolate bunnies in multiple flavors.
Because…
…every Sunday should start with a video of a baby sloth. I want Matty to give me a flower, too.
Snow Day
Backyard Buddha is buried…and we are snowed in today. Since the kids started college, we haven’t had a snow day together. I have to tell you, I love it. I didn’t even care that the sleet sounded like hail pelting the windows. I was camped on my couch, wearing flannel, wrapped in fleece, working from…
Tuesday Run…
…guess I was a little distracted.
There’s love…and then there’s LOVE
Guess it would’ve been more timely to post this on Valentine’s Day, but my Nature’s Love Notes photos were recently published in a friend’s publication. To check it out, click here. I love this magazine. It’s hard to find a motivation more noble than making the world a better place. That’s nature love. But then,…
Because…
…everyone needs a little help getting through a Wednesday. Or a video of big puppy helping little puppy on a Wednesday.
Shut Up and Just Run
Scenes from a green house that was adjacent to a restaurant that I got to visit today. Olive the Kitty was friendlier than she looks. The flowers…the gorgeous light…shades of green…kitty purrs…breakfast this morning was a much needed break from the norm. And I had a different break from the norm this evening as well….
One of these things…
…is not like the other.
Whoa…
This morning as I was getting ready for work, my phone rang. It was Tanner, telling me to “go outside and look west.” Are you kidding? An enormous, perfect double rainbow filled the entire morning sky. I loved him so much for that call. I loved that he saw the rainbow and that it meant…
Frosty Flashbacks
I always hated that greenhouse scene in Frosty the Snowman. This is my “Karen” moment from this morning.
Surprise!
This more than makes up for the fact that both Punxsutawney Phil and the weatherman apparently can’t get their acts together. The unexpected snow was dry, powdery, and horribly unpackable, but still so much fun. And I think our little snow lady is pretty darn cute.
Pure Awesomeness
This video is unquestionably one of the coolest things I have ever seen. And not just because it features Hello Kitty. (But of course, that didn’t hurt.)
Because…
…every Thursday needs to begin with a pink penguin sugar cookie.
Road trip
Best part of a too-short weekend: my folks spending the better part of seven hours in the car to go see my photos hanging in our new hospital over in Illinois. Fortunately, the hospital wouldn’t become operational until the next day, so we were able to do a look-through on every floor and see every…
Little Amusements
Yes, my college-aged sons picked up a girl’s Happy Meal in order to bring a Hello Kitty home to their mom. I love my kids. Thanks to the movie Stranger Than Fiction, I kept waiting to hear some sort of Emma Thompson narrative while peering at this guitar display in a music store window. I…
We meet at last..
Today, as a very brief detour on a work road trip, I got to visit the home of my favorite soap producer on the planet. After years of ordering online and admiring their catalogs, I was finally able to visit them in person. They proved to be a dog friendly workplace. Meet Daisy the Pug. They proved to…
One for bad, two for good
I read a quote recently that said something along the lines of, “no matter how slow you are, you’re still lapping everyone sitting on the couch.” Or something like that. Whatever, dude. After today, I’m thinking that Mr. Frog here (pinterest find; no photo credit offered. My apologies.) might have the right idea. While…
Because…
…every Sunday should begin with a video of a puppy being taught how to climb down the stairs.
hey there, friends
