these summer days..

These summer days are the days I'll remember...

Homemade button necklaces, walks on the beach, long flowy dresses, digging my toes into the sand, braiding hair and blogging about it all ♥

A very long skinny post/lets catch up shall we?

Hello darlings! 

How have you been? I have been wonderful! I made it safe and sound to North Bay. Well not quite safe considering the second day I was here I popped my knee out OUCH! Funny thing is it happened here at the hospital where I'm working! 

I'm alive though, just a little limpy gimpy ;)

 

 I have been working on my own art projects as my mother works on hers. 

I'm working on a red riding hood story for an art class and I have recently learned it's not as easy as I might have thought to draw a wolf. I know I'm silly for thinking it might have been... But I am determined to make it work! 

Here's a happy song for your day 

back soon!

Cuteness kills

Ducklings.

This lil fella is one of our friends wonderful ducklings. 

This lil guy sat on my lap and climbed up my shirt and cuddled up in the middle of my back under my sweater for a half hour. Then made his way up to my neck where he perched on my shoulder for a bit till he toppled over onto my lap and climbed up again.

This lil guy hangout with my for just over an hour and I fell in love with him. 

If I were to take him home he'd be known as Thomas and be my cuddle buddy.

Cuteness does kill.

dogs, bikes and bangs

Have I ever mentioned that my dog Max is a bit of an interesting dog?  He sits in my moss in the garden and smells the lavender.

Is he adorable or what?

On another note! I got my bike out today and for the first time in two years went for a bike ride. 

It was so so wonderful I snapped a few photos just to share my sweet night.

did you notice something different? I got fed up with my long side bangs and chopped them off! I now have my old fringe back :) It feels so good.

Milk Braids and summer days

Mmm the summer...

Warm days where your skin tingles as the sun lights it up.

Braiding your hair up into milk braids and having daisies in your hair.

Sweet summer romances.

Road trips to far off places.

This is my summer this year.

I'm so excited! 

Do you have any plans for the summer?

Oh my deer darling

Something I simply adore about living in the country is the wild life. 

Just yesterday I had two sweet deer come right in front of my house just to eat and take a peek around.

I have a serious thing for deer let me tell you...

I have always found them perfect in every way possible. Delicate, strong, gentle, sweet and alert.

For a while I even contemplated making myself a true Audrey Hepburn and adopt a fawn..

Although that didn't go too well with the parents ;)

I got to look at these beautiful creatures for a half hour yesterday and swoon over how sweet they were.

do you have a favourite animal that you just adore?
