rainy days.
are days for reading in bed, making soup, and taking a break. Rainy days on the Cape even more so. There’s just something special about the wind blowing off the bay, whistling through the marsh grass and the pine trees.
foreshore ripple.
The same, but different every day. Without Google, it would have taken me weeks to learn the name “foreshore ripples”. I would love to make a time lapse video of low tide on one of the bay beaches in order to study how the ripples change from tide to tide. Do they stay the same?
cozy.
Finally! Snow! A snow day is a time to get cozy. Curl up on the couch with a blanket. Work, but work in the serene peace that accompanies a snowy day outside. I could use a whole week of snow days!
eclipse.
Camille and I went out to Arabia for the eclipse. My favorite part had to be the shadows!
confused. so confused.
My mind is confused. So confused. Able to get outside after months of hibernating inside, I keep finding myself thinking things like “Wow, the vines have grown fast.” “Where are all the spring blossoms?” Yes, spring. I keep thinking it is spring. Because I can finally get outside. Because I feel awake again. Surely that
september 1st.
September is here! Each year, I imagine that when September comes around, summer will finally be over. Not “summer” but summer. The heat. The humidity. The misery of living in the south. This has been an AWFUL summer for me. The number of days over 90 broke records. The nighttime lows never got low. I
photo friday: snow in the city
I love fresh snow in the city! So magical….

In the week leading up to our trip, the weather forecast was all over the place. Sunny, rainy, snowy, windy. We had no idea what we would end up with, so we brought umbrellas, long underwear, and t-shirts. And we used it all. When we woke this morning, snow was in the forecast, so we
normal? or disaster?
In the week preceding my trip to Cannes, I kept a close eye on the weather. The chance of rain for the weekend increased and increased, making me think that I was not going to get to do the things I had planned to do while in Cannes. I consoled myself with the fact that
a sigh (and cry) of relief.
I had no idea. I knew it was bad, but didn’t realize how bad it really was. When I stepped out the door to walk Phelix early yesterday morning, I realized how ABSOLUTELY, AMAZING, and WONDERFUL it can actually be and was hit by the realization that it had been awful for weeks now. WONDERFUL:

Still learning about time lapse. This one is a little TOO slow. Like watching a pot boil. This one is a bit faster, the snow is gone, but the sun does set! Yesterday was such a quiet day here. While I know how much our businesses depend on the traffic, I enjoyed the slowness of

I have much to learn about time lapse photography, but this was an interesting exercise for me to attempt! The Atlanta metro area is a mess. People are still stuck trying to get home after spending 7+ hours to go 20 miles.
blue ridge dawn
Phelix and I went out for a walk at 7am. We are in the trees and down get a sweeping view, the sky was just lovely to watch nonetheless!
autumn is finally here
The days are cooler. The trees are bright and colorful. I’m ready to make soups and teas and curl up under a blanket with a good book. And to possibly take up knitting once again. But it is too late for autumn. Thanksgiving is a week away. And thus the Christmas rush will be upon

Life is good, even when it rains.

Most of the day was quite nice in Decatur. But then, it was time for me to go out and pick Chloe up. And that’s whn the tiny, powerful storm hit. Soaked to my knees.
sub-freezing camping
We’ve been camping in sub-freezing temps before — at LEAF, in Jackson, WY. But this weekend was the first time that water froze to a solid block. Our gallon jugs froze and even the spigot at our site froze. Silly me, I had SCOFFED at the steady trickle (not drip) of the faucet at the
windows – 20 apr 2011
It kept threatening to rain all day. Finally, in the middle of the night, the storm came through. And kept me up. *Yawn.*
weathering the weather
Today, despite being it being Thursday, I am surprisingly content and relaxed; the Thursday run-a-round isn’t bringing me down for a change. Perhaps this is because I am feeling healthier than I have in a long time (fish oil? blueberries? low-carb?). Perhaps this is because I don’t feel behind at work (though I will be
spring is in the air!
While we were camping this weekend, the temperatures dipped below freezing one night. Long johns and warm sleeping bags kept us (well, me at least) nice and toasty! Today, the doors are opened wide to let in the sounds, smells and fresh breezes of spring! With the house as organized as it has been in
