I came across this picture today, and it made me so cheerful that I wanted to share it.  I think after this morning’s snow, we’re all in need of a little spring. That, and the artist in me loves purple and yellow. Happy Wednesday!

I wasn’t exactly sure of where I was going, but the sun was shining and the wind wasn’t as bad as I expected it would be. Until I got to where I was going. And then, the temperature dropped and the sun was replaced with snowflakes. As lovely as they were, I wanted them to […]

I liked Sara right away. I liked her excitement, her joy, her good attitude.  On the other end of our second phone conversation was a girl who was thrilled to be getting married, who couldn’t wait to meet up to talk about photography, and who was obviously smitten with the man she would soon call […]

The first day of Spring is this weekend, and I’d be a liar if I said I wasn’t excited. Not that it means we won’t get a good snow storm or two… I’ve been eyeing this little bird’s nest at the Art of the Hills office for months now, and finally took my camera to work this […]

Do not be fooled by the beginning of this post. It is tranquil. It is peaceful. It is deceiving. Why you ask? Because. This kid can sleep through anything. Chaos takes on many forms. This weekend I found it alive and well at the Comer household, where daughters and husbands (most of them, anyway), children and […]

You can hear her laugh across the room, bus, or gymnasium. She is petite, with wile hair and a freckle in her right eye. She is brilliant, will argue, and can’t help but make jokes at her own expense. She has struggled. And prevailed. She will find her own way. I was able to spend […]

  The names of my cookbooks say it all. With titles like, 1001 Short, Easy, Recipes and So-Easy Slow Cooker, it isn’t hard to see that my talents aren’t typically showcased in the kitchen.  My worst fear came last spring when my soon-to-be sister in-law (who, by the way, knows how to roast a turkey) had a bridal […]

It’s been too long since I’ve posted, and frankly, I feel a little failure-ish. One of my goals for the year was to blog more, even if it meant seemingly meaningless or random posts, because I want to get into the habit of writing and sharing and posting and taking pictures for the fun of […]

Today I looked over to see this beauty on my bulletin board.  I received it in the mail my second year of college, from my then twelve-year-old sister. She wanted to wish me a “super-duper awesome Valentine’s Day”. Those who know me probably know that I tend to hang on to things like this—sometimes a […]

Today is my friend’s birthday. He is one year old, and I’m not quite sure how that happened. In just a short time he went from a tiny, wrinkly newborn to a roly poly infant, to a boy who has teeth and can walk and say the name of his puppy. I’m happy to know […]
