rain birds

more rain expected here in middle tennessee today.

how appropriate to share some rainy day pictures from my recent beach trip...

if the sun doesn't shine soon...

i may fly the coop.

i'm outta here...

happy fall y'all!

yippee!! today is the first day of autumn!!

after spending a glorious week at the beach and coming home to a drenched tennessee (been raining all week here and more to come!)

just to find a flooded crawlspace cause the darn sump pump wasn't working, ugh,

yes, the vacation is officially over....

but i love the change i feel in the air. slightly cooler temps, shorter days and fall flowers blooming.......even some fallen leaves from the old hackberry trees.

what a difference a week makes! and i love change. embrace it really. i can't imagine living in a place where the seasons don't change?

so i decorated with a few autumnal goodies to put me in the mood and warm up my otherwise neutral palette of decor. i'll add more as it continues to cool off and halloween nears...........

and to really snap me out of the after vacation blues, my dear, dear friend sent me a package tied up with strings, filled with a few of my favorite things ( sorry, i couldn't help myself)

a beautifully wrapped gift FILLED with LOVE!

thank you so, so much!

you know me so well. our friendship is the greatest gift of all.

kisses and a big smooch darlin!

happy fall y'all!!

i'm back...and in love.

got home last night and quite frankly, i'm suffering from extreme

beach brain!

i am once again blown away by the beauty of mother nature...

i can hardly speak.

images so strong and powerful, my words don't come easily.

and i ask you

how can we look at these images and not want to protect and take care of this

wonderful fragile earth?

i have come home with many, many photos

and so much inspiration.





the sea and sky cannot be ignored.

and

i am loving

my new camera!!

yes, indeedy!

into the blue...

we are off to stare at this...

our heart in the sand...

ta ta for now...
