This is what spring in Maine looks like.

{wordless} breakfast for dinner

{wordless} ice lace

Since nearly completing my first Project Life layout over the weekend, I've been looking for photo ops everywhere. This morning, while taking Sadie out, I wasn't even actually looking when I happened across this gorgeousness on our front porch -- crystals of ice, looking as though they were purposely etched there. Lacy flowers and stems. Just...beautiful.

Just amazing.

Finally going to take some time tonight to play with my Christmas present. Yay!! 

{wordless} breakfast

GF rolled oats sweetened with organic agave syrup and topped with fresh blackberries/raspberries.

Soooo good.

My most favorite cup plunged to the floor and to its subsequent doom this morning. I am so sad :(

{wordless} new year, new habit

{wordless} giving

Our daughter has the most caring, most thoughtful, most giving heart. In my thirty years, I've only come across a handful of people I'd honestly say that about, and she is not included because I am biased. Honestly, because she is mine, the bar has been held that much higher for her to be there.

She cries because she so happy that she can't handle the emotion, she feels pain for her friends (which often makes her cry, too), and she's the first one to offer up something of her own if she knows someone else will enjoy it.

The latter is the case with this photograph. It's of an owl sticker she found among her many Christmas gifts, and something she held in her hand as she came down the stairs just a few minutes ago  singsonging, "Mooooommm, I have a present for you. I know it's something you'll like..."

She never ceases to amaze me. I cannot, for the life of me, picture my seven-year-old self giving anyone anything. Not a sticker, not a toy...nothing. I liked my things, and I liked them to remain mine. Nor did I --or,  rarely do I now, even-- ever show the depth of emotion that this little girl does.

She is amazing and wonderful, and I have so very much to learn from her.

It's a lot more fun to decorate your house for Christmas when it actually is yours. :)

{wordless} insanity

The layover for the trip home on Sunday was in Newark (NJ). Every flight in Terminal A was delayed at least 1.5 hours, which made for a lot of disgruntled travelers --me, included-- and not many extra seats.

Apparently, this happens often there? I'll be skipping Newark in my future travels for sure. Ugh.

{wordless} leaving on a jet plane....

Destination:  Houston

Mood:  Excited

{wordless} whirlwind

A freak storm cropped up in a Southern Maine dining room and wreaked serious havoc. If you look closely, you can see the eye of the storm...

{wordless} happy halloween!

{wordless} owl

Mike captured this shot at the end of our driveway on Monday evening while walking Sadie. I wonder if it's the same one who spent the majority of the last two weeks of August hooting away by our open bedroom window in the middle of the night?

{wordless} fall back, fall forward

{wordless} mums

One of my favorite things about Fall...

{wordless} well...

Puppies are adorable. Also?

They're hard work.
