Spring is here

Saturday, March 23rd, 2013

I have never been so happy for Spring to arrive. I always talk about how spoiled we are in southern California but this year we actually had a winter, we even got snow!  The winter months seemed to drag on for ever and let me tell you about the mood… not pretty.  The last two years have been filled with challenges and health issues and this year started off the same. Surgeries, downtime and way too much time to spend online doing absolutely nothing.

The weather has finally started to warm up, flip flops have made their way back into our lives and all is right with the world again.  I was out driving around the other day and noticed the trees and fields blooming, such a beautiful sight.  I love the longer days and the energy that comes along with it.  Evening walks with the kids surrounded by new life is just what I need to get this year back on track.  Remember to take the time to stop and look at all the beauty taking place around you.

Reflection

Friday, April 27th, 2012

Last week we had 90 degree weather, this weekend we’ll be back in the 80′s. But in between we had this funky, muggy storm roll through southern Cali that made it feel like the South. There’s nothing like humidity to get me in a funk, me and humidity just don’t mix. However, the cloudy goodness that comes from a funky storm is always a great opportunity for some picture magic.

The last few days have been a little challenging for me but being able to sit in my car deep in thought while I stared at the sky was nice. For a moment it felt like God was peeking through the clouds to shed just enough light to make things ok…. and they are. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

My Love Affair Continues

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

It’s December 1st and Winter is right around the corner. The trees are in a hurry to lose their leaves and the wind in Southern California today is definitely not helping.

My husband hates the mess the leaves make in the fall while my love affair with it continues. I tell him I will rake up the mess as long as I can watch them pile up in the front yard for a little bit. I don’t know what it is but there’s something about the the leaves floating down as they fall from the trees that captures my heart.

The route I take to my daughter’s school is along a beautifully tree lined street. Every morning the city is out there cleaning up the leaves and every morning it looks exactly the same way it did before they began… too bad for them… great for me. Happy Thursday!
