a study in dandelions

There are a couple of dandelions in my backyard and when I was sitting outside yesterday the light was catching them just right. These are my results.

This is not only Tuesday, but it is TOMS One Day Without Shoes. The one day that we all go without our shoes so that children don't have to. It's a day to raise awareness that there are children all over the world who go without shoes every day. For more information visit here. So in honor of One Day Without Shoes, here are a couple of my favorite TOMS pics.



And I just had to throw this pic in because the clouds were amazing yesterday afternoon. I snapped this pic in my backyard.


And I hope this is what your feet look like today.

It's spring, but hasn't really felt like it the last couple of days. So here are some spring-y photos for you all. And here's to wishing Spring will come back again in short order. I took these at the Missouri State Capitol building in Jefferson City almost two summers ago in the middle of a trip to Columbia, MO for a friend's college graduation.

It was easy to find things to love this week. It is officially Spring, and what's more it has felt like Spring. There are some who say we will have one more bout of Winter before it is really Spring, but I would have to say I disagree with them. Spring is here, and I'll let tomorrow worry about tomorrow.


I took a flying trip up to see my parents over the weekend. I love their fountain in the middle of the pond in the backyard. Lovely!


Breakfast outside in gorgeous weather. . .yes, please!! Coffee, OJ, Oatmeal, and Greek Yogurt. . .Yum!


The flowers have returned!! Yay! The other day I was experimenting with perspective. . .this is one of the results.

Monday nights I like to go hang out at the Farmers Gastropub, and this last Monday night I had a Guinness. It reminded me of this lovely trip I took one time, and I actually went to the Guinness factory in Dublin. There is really no experience quite like drinking a Guinness in the gravity bar at the very top of the factory. It has the best views in Dublin. Such fun!
