This little “Mom” decided to build her home
for her babies in my sister’s backyard.
I wasn’t able to see them, but it was very exciting
for my sister and her family! ♥

Calm and Crazy

Hello All!

Once again, I’m behind on reading all of your wonderful blog posts.
I’ve been working on a project, which is consuming most of my time.

I haven’t written any new poems
and actually, I need to get inspired
I can’t re-post forever!
Anyway, the real busy part should be ending soon and I’ll be
visiting you again and trying to catch up a little.

To end your week, I’m sending some “calm” to soothe your “crazy.”

Have a wonderful Friday and weekend! 
Lauren ♥

I’m not a professional photographer, so please go easy on me 🙂
and since our camera needs replacing, I’ve been using my iPhone.
Anyway, t
he rose is in our yard, but the other flowers I came across
while taking Copper, our lab, for his daily walks.
I don’t always take my phone, but when I do,
there’s always
something
I’d love to remember in photo form.
I’m not even sure I can choose a favorite.
I love them all and this happens to show
more of pinks and purples,
but I also love the vivid reds, oranges and yellows.
Sounds like a future blog post?
Maybe…
Anyway, what is your favorite?

I hope you enjoyed this little bit of flora
and feel free to take some beauty
with you to begin your weekend. ♥

Copper’s Beach Adventure

copper 1Gotta love those EARS!

Copper had a fun time at the beach yesterday.
He loved chasing the stick,

then trying to find it in the water.
He was also happy running
up and down the beach
with some other canine friends.
It’s definitely a blast  watching him play!
(my third child) 🙂

I hope we all take time to “play
in the midst of our busy lives.
Soak in some sun and sand
or breathe in mountain air,
Just don’t forget to Breathe and Enjoy Life!

Sending hugs for a great day! ♥

A Fair Day in Summer

We never miss our county fair!
When the kids were little, the experience was magical,
viewing it through their eyes and excitement.
Now that they’re older, on their own, hubby and I get another date! 🙂

BIRD ON FERRIS WHEEL If you look closely, you’ll see that birds
enjoy the Ferris wheel, too. 🙂

LAGOON AND PAVILIONThis is the lagoon looking to the Pavilion,
where the music groups perform.

screaming amusement for all,
Proceed before meals”

I hope you enjoyed this “ride!” 

HAPPY FRIDAY!
