Vote
Three weeks ago I was able to visit Washington DC for the first time. For as long as I can remember, I have loved history and for as long as I can remember, my parents have always told me that it was my duty to vote. My parents both held local offices, my father was mayor of our small town for eight years and my mom served as an alderwoman for twelve, so voting for me was never an issue, it was, and still is, a privilege and a duty. I think I have had a hard time putting my brief visit to DC into words mainly because I had…

Weekending
We finally had a beautiful day here on the west coast of Florida yesterday. Amanda and I took advantage and went to the local Dia de los Muertos Festival in the Village of the Arts. Their huge shrine this year was dedicated to the the 2000 tons of sea life that has died along our coast due to red tide this year. We also took a little tour of the galleries and in one area got mother/daughter henna, picked up some local honey from Myakka Gold Apiary (ooh, and sampled and purchased some creamed honey…so good!). I have been itching to get to my ‘local’ yarn store, A Good Yarn,…

Saturday Sky—Flashback edition
Thanks to Vicki over at Knitorious, I was reminded of years ago when the knitting blogging community was huge and we had several ‘things’ that we all did. One was Ten on Tuesday and one was Saturday Sky. I participated fairly often, and today was a nice reminder of what ‘used to be’. I miss that community sometimes. I’m sure it’s still fairly active, I’ve just been away for a long time. Anyway, I present my Saturday Sky, which actually, isn’t a Saturday and wasn’t today . It was a Friday, a couple of weeks ago, but I liked it, so I wanted to share it with you.

Blogtober Recap and NaBloPoMo?
Well, October came and went…quickly. It was a crazy month for me with my very first ever trip to Washington DC. I still need to put up the second post of that trip! While I didn’t blog every day like I had intended, I did blog more than I have in years. I found that I missed it and it was such a creative release for me. I think it was the jump start that I needed to get back on the regular posting that I used to it. And that brings me to National Blog Posting Month or NaBloPoMo. I don’t know if it is still a thing, but…

Fall Essentials, Florida Edition
While the rest of the country gets this for Fall. Florida gets this: Yeah, I know, poor me right? But here’s the thing. I LOVE Fall. I grew up in Central Louisiana where we had at least some semblance of a fall. I love sweatshirts, hot chocolate, the smell of wood burning, the sight of hunters heading to the woods for whatever is in season. Here, we joke that Fall in Florida last approximately two days, and that is if we are lucky. I love seeing all the Fall Essentials posts, so since we don’t get a true fall,…

It’s a Monday
Ever feel like something is off and you just can’t figure out what it is? From the time I got dressed this morning, until around 7am, I just felt like something was off. Couldn’t figure out what exactly, until I was in the teacher’s lounge, waiting to make copies while talking to Karla that I discovered it.The same shoe but in two different colors. One navy, and one black. Now that I look at the photo, I remember why I wasn’t wearing the navy ones anymore. They need to go in the trash. I texted my husband, who promptly laughed at me and sent me this text: Babe, I love…

I LOVE Instagram. I love everything about it. It serves are inspiration in many areas and it lets me view the world through my phone! It lets me share my life and it lets me keep up with friends across the county. It was hard to narrow it down to five, but in no particular order, here are my five top Instagram feeds.

Milne ♥️ Nothing better than a few hours of windshield time on the road with country music on the radio and four sleeping kids to talk and plan and…

Friday Night Lights
I got to mess around with a Sigma 120-300mm lens tonight and let me tell you, it is a huge learning curve and HEAVY. Thank goodness for a monopod. SO with seven minutes to spare to get a blog post in for day three, here are a couple from tonight.

I have spent the last three years photographing some gorgeous labradors before they go in for training at Southeastern Guide Dogs. These are a few of my favorites from the last year.
