[red]

blog

last night during sunday dinner we spotted this blazing bright red sun.
we quickly ran outside on my parent's front porch to catch this gorgeous light.
my family all yelled amelia, go take a picture!
i don't ever remember seeing the sun this red. these pictures really don't due it's justice.
it was really cloudy, so there was a haze in front of it,
but it was almost a dark hot pink color... so beautiful!
did anyone else see this?

blog

thank you julie, ariane and ellen for these vibrant homegrown vegetables... we can't get enough!

blog

the first thing we did with these red tomatoes was add them to tuna sandwiches. .gobble gobble.

blog

we also enjoyed a juicy and delicious burger with red tomatoes again from five guys hungry yet?

blog

then we wrapped up the weekend with rag curlers
(that's what my mom always called them... mismatched homeless socks)

tie 'em up after freshly washed and dried hair for beautiful bouncing curls the next day!
not too comfortable to sleep on, but definitely worth it!
.beauty is pain.

when we heard news that sam's sweet aunt passed away, we packed up the sub and headed out.
driving slow? only when i summoned the driver to decelerate and even halt so i could take a picture or two...
he ever so kindly supported my desires :) love you sammy!

[brightless]



i had a hard time being a mom today.
it was basically bleak.
my patience was puny, my daughters were disagreeable, and i didn't find much light in the day.
now i know the answer to my question...
people may simply run for solitude,
to decompress, clear the head, get away.
[you get the picture]
sam cheered me up when he arrived home with some silly scout stories he had just experienced at their activity tonight; something about lifeguards, kid jigs and disrespect...
i guess one bright side could be that i'm not asked to parent 10 twelve year old boys every day :)
may i have a better outlook tomorrow.

blog,perfume

.pure, clean and crisp.

the best!


blog

morning fresh scent!

blog

i wanted to share these with you...
i was all excited because i thoroughly enjoyed them with a little whipping cream on top.
unfortunately, this tasty, wobbly little snack did not get good reviews at all.

i was disenchanted when i read they apparently do not have any antioxidants.
what a bunch of hooey.
they tasted good!


blog

.when plain almonds just don't quite hit the spot.


blog

have you ever partaken? if you like gingerbread cookies, i think you'll fall in love!
these are so light, crispy and delicious!

i buy mine at IKEA
