We have been trying to take some time off from renovations. I’ve been scheduling in some mental breaks of reading a good book, going for a nice quiet walk or doing something that brings enjoyment. While organizing I found one of my search a words, and started back on that again. I forgot how fun…

Take a walk with me into the forest.
Finally…the rain came. So what did I do when I saw the clouds out early in the morning? I grabbed an umbrella, my camera and went for a walk. Walking in the rain is always a special kind of treat. This wasn’t one of those scary storms, this was just an early morning rain storm…
Summer has come to an end.
And what a summer it was. You know sometimes I look around and think about all this beauty I am seeing and I’m amazed by it all…do you guys see it? I hope you do, I really do. “Oh yeah that?…yes…there is some pretty ugly going on with those screens, that is true”. But if…
An early morning swap meet visit.
One morning I got up super early and headed out to one of my favorite swap meets here in the city. I took my camera with me and took all kinds of colorful photos. You can always find something interesting at the swap meets to practice taking photos with. Swaps meets are a great place…
In the garden…smiling flowers everywhere.
Our sunflowers have finally popped up to say hello. We planted them in a different location this time. They are facing our French Doors that lead outside to our back yard. Every morning when I open up the windows I now have a view of rows and rows of Sunflowers everywhere. It’s really nice waking…

Taking a walk with the bees.
It’s been so beautiful out there lately, the perfect weather. I walked down to the used bookstore today, checking in to see what new books they got in. On the way to the store I stopped to check out all the wildflowers everywhere. The walk there is lined with all kinds of flowers and plants….
A whole bunch of sea shells.
On this Memorial Day I thought I pull out something from the past that is a treasure from my father-in law who served in the military years ago. What I’m about to share is a rare one. We have a huge collection of shells that were passed down to us from my brother in law/father-in-law….
The Sugar Gum Tree.
I discovered something the other day, I mean learned something new that is. It’s about a certain kind of tree. The first time I came across this tree was on one of my early morning walks through a cemetery. There are all kinds of huge mature trees through out this peaceful cemetery. The tombs go…
Day three after the storm.
When this is posted it will actually be day 4 , and this post will be my last storm update post. I wanted to share with everyone what a Winter storm looks like. I should have taken some photos of the piles and piles of dirty snow being made into tiny little snow mountains all…
