NOLA Style
H and I celebrated Mardi Gras this past weekend with friends in Nashville. We had a blast, ending the evening with traditional King Cake. (H got the coveted slice with the baby… I guess we’ll be bringing the cake next year.)
Fashionable Family Friday: Bangs!
This was my fourth-grade school picture… I’m looking a little stiff and proper.
Transparency
We have a wall of evergreen viburnum shrubs in our backyard. On a recent sunny day, I was lucky enough to catch this striking play of light and shadow on its leaves.
Taken for Granite
H says the secret to a happy marriage is separate bathrooms. This past week we started the daunting task of redoing both of ours. With tiles and cabinets chosen, Saturday’s adventure included a visit to a granite and marble warehouse in search of the perfect countertop slab.
Fashionable Family Friday: Swept Away
I can’t believe that I purposely teased my hair to such great heights, but I sure don’t see any signs of a gusty wind.
The Touch of Nature
This is the view I see above my head when I sit at my computer. It’s always good to have some bird magic close by.
Tools of the Trade
H and his brother D are major train enthusiasts. When D was in town a few weeks ago, we visited a model train exhibit at the Southern Museum of Civil War & Locomotive History. While they enjoyed the trains, I was drawn to an exhibit on how scale model trees are made. I loved this behind-the-scene insight on how the magic happens.
Fashionable Family Friday: I Need a Hug
Time to put down the camera!
They’re Coming
It may sound silly, but I couldn’t keep my eyes off this cloud. Hovering behind the trees with the glow of the late afternoon light, it gave me the impression of a hovering spaceship. I think I’ve been watching too many sci-fi movies.
Sign of Spring
Each January I watch the buds on the camellia trees just outside our kitchen window swell to the point of bursting, until one February day they do. Yesterday I found the first flower of the season. What a beauty!
