tuesday: something to love

I miss this place. And I love this place. Hopefully, I will one day return here.

Huka Falls, Taupo, NZ

snow day

I really dislike winter and all that goes along with it. . .including snow. Especially now that I am out of school and no longer get the benefits of having a big snowstorm (a.k.a. a snow day). There just really is no pleasure in it whatsoever for me. However, I am trying to find beauty in every season, so I thought I would try snapping some pictures of the magnolia tree in my backyard which was laden with the fresh snow. It didn't really help me enjoy winter any more.


But later I did realize something I like about snowy days. It makes me want to make treats like these even more. Cold, snowy weather makes me want to just be in the kitchen all day long and cook and bake to my hearts desire.

Monday: something to love

I hope you all have had as fantastic a Monday as I have!! These are the pics I took on Friday...and what's not to love about this scenario?? Day off, long walk beside a lake, bright sunshine, blue sky with lovely puffy white clouds, wind in my hair, quiet contemplations...a perfect day!!

stay tuned...

I took a bunch of pictures yesterday, but I'm too tired to blog about it right now...so just keep your eyes open, and I promise to blog soon!!


Just a little taste...remember, friends, anticipation is delicious!

meanderings through a heath

I loved the summer that I spent in London. One of my favorite parts of London was Hampstead Heath. It is very difficult to describe what a heath is if you haven't actually experienced a heath. It's kind of like a big park, but different. You should just go see it for yourself, but here are a few pictures from one of the trips we took out there that summer.


And a small musical snack for you:
