Right now the smell of sweet potato pie is filling our home while the windows bring in a lovely cross breeze that just swirls around the pie scent. It's in the middle of November and it's 70 degrees outside. Not one bit of me is complaining (only hoping it doesn't mean tornadoes will be popping up in a couple of days) as I'm a fan of Spring/Summer/ ( Read more... )

Andy and I made a pact this summer to "do shit" whenever possible. Last year we didn't go swimming at all...that's blasphemy! So far we've had a blast with friends going to the river(s), having BBQs, cheering/heckling at baseball games, started bands, played shows, gone to shows, and we've even made beach plans.

The past three days have been snow days! Technically, schools are still close tomorrow, but we're going to go ahead and open the store. Hopefully people will want to get out and we'll have some customers ( Read more... )

Today we were greeted with a winter wonderland! After waking up early to meet up with Andy's family, we decided to go on a walk before all of the snow melted. It was a wonderfully relaxing day and we've spent the afternoon staying warm and cuddling with the kitties...and after this entry, I'm finally caught up on posting! Happy Holidays to you all ( Read more... )

The title basically sums up this photo-heavy post: Rainy days, fall in Five Points, Kitty Piles, Clouds and Sunsets, and Harry Potter!
