I somehow hurt my neck and back. Everyone I've talked to who has experienced something similar seems to think its a pinched nerve. I'm willing it to get better soon- my September is waaaay to busy for injury. In the meantime, ibuprofen.

Rey's home for the night, this is my pic. Nuff said. ;)

and I do believe

that leaves ARE going to be falling soon! I took these today (before the fall, I'm glad b/c I was too shook up after) and in honor of being lucky enough to have a working camera, I'm posting all 3 b/c I like them all!

Leaves are supposed to fall....

NOT my camera! This isn't my actual picture for today, but it was so traumatizing that I had to post about it. I was flustered today and in my haste grabbing for the phone that I was frustrated with, I knocked my camera off the picnic table and right onto the pavilion CEMENT floor...

There was a collective GASP of everyone in the pavilion and resounding silence as my camera hit the cement and BOUNCED. I froze, I think I thought if I just froze up, maybe it would all be a dream. Hope quickly picked it up for me and it must be a miracle b/c not only is the camera ok (as far as I can tell), the lens didn't crack either. I must have SOME kind of luck b/c when you hear a camera bounce on concrete, you don't expect it to work afterward.
SHEW...now, on to the pics that I'm terribly grateful to be able to take!

I had a few good pics to choose between today. In the end I picked this one because M is a new subject for the blog. And I love that she was climbing the jungle gym in her flowy skirt. ;-)

I also enjoyed the attic fan today! Seeing the curtains billowing was one of the prettiest things I've seen in a long time!

FWIW, I took this pic before I read Karen's post- I guess great minds jut think alike!

Can you feel it????

The breeze, that is? This weather is out of this world and what a difference it makes for me! We've had the windows open and the attic fan all day and it's gorgeous. I have gotten a ton done around the house and have boundless energy, I'm attributing this to the weather. The first shot is where I'm going to spend my evening. I guess I should have gotten some wine to have with my book, but I forgot.

Then, I noticed something in the first shot and had to go outside and take another picture...

Circle of friends...

It has been so great to help with the wedding planning, mostly because of the time spent with great friends. Sometimes, like today, when we all get together we have so much fun that we don't get much accomplished. But that just means we have to get together again so it all works out in the end. ;)

Makin' a wedding!

Spent a wonderful afternoon working on stuff for Summer's wedding and then finished it off with book club!

It's a brand new day!

Lots of changes for us today, Rey starts his new job and we are giving up our car (and payment) for a older paid off vehicle to save money. Changes can be hard sometimes, but these are for the best, I think. I'll spend half the day licensing the car, I'm sure, and the other at my client's house, spending one last afternoon in a pool before it's officially fall for us!

I know, I'm a slacker...

I DID take a few pictures, but most of the day was spent in my client's pool and enjoying the 1 day Rey had home!

Only in a small town is the airport in the middle of a hay field and the old planes literally put out to pasture.
