Hit Pause

Attempting to slow down, pause, and just notice the space around me.

The first shot was taken in the morning.  I was sitting at the island and noticed how beautiful the apples looked basking in the warm morning glow.

The second shot was taken during the "heat" of the afternoon - sun blazing in through the windows in the living room - hey it did reach 82 degrees today.

My seester has been in town and today she was supposed to leave, but it was just too pretty.

So while I worked I gave her the assignment to enjoy a smoothie in the park, under the big oak trees with a picnic blanket and reading material.

Then, we dined like rock stars at Blue Star Cafe - best vegetable bowl with cheese grits!

Topped off the early part of the evening with a stroll around the neighborhood with the pups.

And I'm about to stay up late... watch a movie and eat some damn good chocolate.

Thanks for the beauty today, Monday.

You were a good one.
