It’s Planting Time!
August means it’s time to do a lot of things. It’s time to harvest saw palmetto berries. It’s time to harvest grapes. It’s time to rake the pond of the crazy amount of algae that grows there. It’s time to dream of much, much cooler weather while we’re doing all of this outdoor tasks. And it’s […]
I am thankful for…
I am thankful for so many things. So many in fact, that I thought I’d make a list. There are just so many things that I want to note, although I’ll never capture them all.
Canadian Geese
As I am from Maryland, I have seen many Canadian Geese in my day–usually flying in their V or, still with their gaggle, eating, drinking, and splashing somewhere fun. However, on our recent trip to the north, we drove by a farm where I saw a hillside covered in geese, who were probably stopping off […]
Home
It’s always nice to come home. The normalcy of our world is so nice to return to. We spent the last week visiting our Maryland family and we had a fantastic time! It was a week of firsts for the girls–at least a week of doing things they can really only do in colder areas […]
{A Pause for the Finer Things in Life}
Weekly (although this time it’s been a month since the last one), I post one or two pictures that demonstrate how the most simple things in life are, in fact, the finer things–those that mean the most and will be among the most precious of memories. So here is this week’s picture. Enjoy!
thinking of autumns past
Life in Florida has been fantastic, but ever so often I get the urge to travel Northward–especially in the fall! There isn’t a thing I don’t like about a Northern Autumn. The crisp feel in the air. The smell of the leaves. The beautiful colors as the leaves change to fiery orange, crimson, and gold. […]
Felt Board Autumn Tree
Felt boards! Aren’t they fun!? I used to love them when I was a kid. My kids love them too although I find I need to keep it interesting. They prefer their little wooden toys they can hold in their hands. So, with the changing of the seasons I made some adjustments to their felt […]
Autumn Leaf Garland
We’ve been busily decorating our house with our fall decor. Every year it gets more and more fun as my little helpers get old enough to take part in the changing of the seasonal decor. Each one lends a hand as we get out the box of autumn things and decide where everything will […]
Welcome, Autumn Fairies!
Happy Autumn! We’ve entered one of my favorite times of year and I’m so excited about it. So excited in fact, that I’m itching to visit our family up North so we can experience the autumn season in true fashion. Today we welcomed the Autumn Fairies by leaving them gifts of welcome.
