Hello everyone! A few snapshots of fall in my neck of the woods. This is my favorite time of the year, everywhere you look there is a beautiful color. I haven't been on here in a while it looks like...I can't seem to have my mind on more than two projects at once. I've been trying to tie up a few loose ends and attempting to get a long time dream of mine in gear and off the ground and it hasn't left much time or creative energy for anything else. These pictures were taken at an old mill that is on my commute to work everyday, every season compliments this place! I noticed though that I had to go back and straighten all of my photos because it seems that most old buildings sit crooked. Neat place, I love it.

A few things that made me happy today:

1. Link (my dog) bounding up to me as soon as I got home from work.
2. A call from my sweet boyfriend always puts a smile on my face.
3. Eating blueberries and blackberries straight from the bush. Completely organic and great for you!
4. Gigantic heirloom figs from a tree that was planted in the early 1900's by the kitchen window of the log cabin I grew up in.
5. Pretty flowers in my flower garden (which is in dire need of some weeding).
6. Tomorrow is Friday!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day weekend. Virginia Beach was amazing and a little warm...not quite as hot and muggy as Georgia though. I was able to snap a few pictures from our evening walks on the beach. Happy Tuesday!

I'm off to the beautiful state of Virginia for 4th of July weekend! Hoping to get to the airport on time and in one piece this time! Last time I flew there was a terrible wreck on the interstate and I sat in traffic for an hour, finally I turned around and barely made it to the Atlanta airport on time. I'm telling you, that is the worst feeling! I was parked, through security and on my plane in 20 minutes flat. I ran the whole length of the Atlanta airport. You'll be surprised how quickly you can get somewhere when you're really motivated! Happy 4th everyone! Eat lots of watermelon and hotdogs!!

I picked up a hitch hiker! This crazy bug rode all the way home on my windshield.


I found this cutie for a quarter at the thrift store today.

What a wonderful Saturday, what started out as a day running errands turned into a day of leisure. I got up early to get my car worked on, but it ended up taking much less time than expected so I went thrift shopping and to the mall. The sky was cloudy and foggy this morning and I was pleasantly surprised to see clear skies and sunshine when I left the mall. I found myself organizing my closet when I got home and making peach cobbler (which was gobbled up before I could even document it...sweets never stay around long at our house!). Hope everyone had a wonderful Saturday!

My week in pictures...

I woke up at 7 a.m. on Sunday to watch the sun rise on my 25th birthday...holy moly...I'm getting old. I was sad to leave 24 behind, but if 25 is half as good as 24 was...I have a whole lot to look forward to.


These lemons are the result of a failed attempt to do the "master cleanse". I made a valiant effort, but it is so hard to not eat! I quickly discovered that fasting is not for those that have blood sugar problems. Now I need recipes calling for lemons (and lots of them) or a lemonade stand...one of the two.

These were actually last week, but my sweet boyfriend sent me roses for my birthday...14 of them to be exact! I love them!



Last, but not least, I'm seeing more flowers than weeds in my garden! Cosmos, zinnias, sunflowers, and bachelor's buttons to name a few. Also, lemon basil, mint and rosemary. I'm pretty excited!

Have a great weekend everyone!
