Happy

Friday, March 30th, 2012


Magnolias trees that survived a sleepy winter. Happy.

Baby turtle (size of a nickel)… we found her on a pebbled country path today..
the kids couldn’t wait to tuck her in their sweaty palms +
set her free in the old mossy pond – deep in the woods .
She found her perch on a knotty log + couldn’t wait to
dive into the clear pool below her. Happy.

The elegantly chirping swallows arrived this week.
The barn’s rustic timbers are softened with their artful nests – ready for… Happy.

We had to share some vintage beauty – to celebrate the beginnings of this glorious season!
Covet the birds.. dance with the butterflies.. crave the woodland flora..
Paint them, gather them, watch them from afar… feed your soul + get busy LIVING.

The Beauty Of A Long Journey

Luscious colors, textures, fragments of a romantic history.
An enchanting flavor that only years and years can create…

A few glimpses inside a 1920’s Pullman sleeper train car: National Railroad Museum

Life in Shades of Lovely!

Turner Hall

A cultured adventure in living history. A few favorite snaps from our escapade.
(we considered stealing a few of the orange leather-covered chairs …
but figured we’d be spotted on the street). We stole some cool shots instead.
