Kure Beach, North Carolina

Thought I would show you some pics from our trip to the beach in North Carolina.

I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

We had a fantastic time.

I discovered Fado and I love it, especially Ana Moura.

My kind of music.

Have a great week ahead!

Beautiful North Carolina

On our trip to North Carolina we enjoyed lots of beautiful trails through parks and forests.

We had lovely weather as you can see.

But most of all I enjoyed spending time with my friend Sabina.

Wishing you all a beautiful Sunday!

Dreaming of the Desert

I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing.

 Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams...”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

A new week

More reading material from the library.

I love bookstores and libraries.

Could browse there forever.

Hope this week is better than the last one.

I fell on the ice on my way from the parking lot to the building where I work.

Nothing broken, but bruised very badly.

Spent two days at home recuperating.

Looking forward to our vacation in North Carolina next month.

Have a great week ahead, everyone!

Take care!

A touch of Spring...

I got a little bit of Spring inside.

Went and bought some tulips to cheer us up

from all the white stuff and cold outside.

Doing the "Spring dance" every day. :)

My book of the week is

Love Odwalla superfood fruit smoothie!

Can't get enough of it.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Have to go and feed the birds, bunnies and squirrels.

Tucked in

Here they are

all tucked in

Gracie and Lucy

waiting for spring

to run outside

chasing a ball

and not be cooped up

inside at all.

With it being Groundhog Day today,

it does not look like spring is coming soon... Bummer!

What I am reading right now - Mary Coin - by Marisa Silver.

Wishing you all a good start of the new week!

Congrats to my friend Sabina on the arrival of her granddaughter Aurora!

Frozen...

The days are short
The sun a spark
Hung thin between
The dark and dark.

"I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently?
And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt;
and perhaps it says "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again."
Lewis Carroll

We took a drive through the snow covered country side.

Boy, it is so cold out there!

The wind is blowing and drifts are everywhere.

Here in Indiana we are not used to such cold winters.

Reminds me of the years I lived in Northeast Michigan.

Take care and enjoy your weekend!
