Oh, how God can paint with water droplets!

I awake after nightmares about an awful premier, roused by my mother who asked that I get up and walk the dog. Braiding my hair loosely, I let it fall over my shoulder and pull on a pair of old jeans, cut off right below my knee. After I tromp lazily down the stairs, Penny looks at me expectantly when I ask her if she’d like to go on a walk.  I find some miss-matched socks and pull on an old pair of converse, ready to breathe in the fresh morning air. We set off for a pleasant two miles. But somehow I forgot to bring Hobart, so once I return my pup to the house, I find my camera and set out again. Stopping every few minutes to capture every bit of this rain-sprinkled beauty possible, I can’t help but marvel, Isn’t God the greatest artist ever? Yes, I do believe He is. And I can't believe that I get the honor of capturing His work. We all do.

Love and a lovely day to you,

Lindsey

because it's fri-ee-day...

well, now that you have rebecca black playing through your head, i'll tell you about my day. :)

shortly after i woke up, i headed downtown for a christmas parade and saw sophi, emalee, hanna, and a few other folks. after watching plenty of horses, sophi's family and i got to visit a festival of nativities, where we saw sets from all over the world!

sophi. me. emalee.

i wanna live in that top apartment.

raindrops. enough said.




and later... you'll never guess what i got in the mail!  here's a hint:

my new black dress! i don't officially get it until christmas, but i had to try it on for size, and i love it!! 

as for other events of the day, i finally finished "mockingjay".   ahhh... the whole book was a little bit depressing, but the end was good. bittersweet, but good. i would definitely recommend the series!
we also headed out on some errands where i got some more yarn for christmas presents! which, speaking of, i am almost done with my socks and i will post when i'm finished!!

as for my precious little shadow, after five weeks, she will be leaving tomorrow. moving on, and leaving me unexpectedly disappointed. it will be an adjustment for sure. i'll keep you updated.

so for our last night, we are all going to watch "the grinch" and have a slumber party. with that, i'd better be going.

much love and many hugs,

lindsey nicole

Everything Lovely {Day Three: sound}

A lovely day to you, dearies! Wow, I feel terrible. I haven't posted in what... four days? Yeah. It's bad.  But... I will make up for my mistake by posting twice!

Anyway, let's get going with day three: sound!

the sound of...

- typewriters clacking away in another room... or my own :) -

- music. music. music. any kind, any time, any place. -

- r a i n -
(isn't this a great picture? i didn't take it, but i wish i did.)

- the crackling of a bonfire -

- the crunching of leaves beneath my feet -

- the buzzing of my phone, reminding me that i have friends who love me -

- and the satisfying "click" of my dear Hobie (my camera) as i capture the life around me -

A happy rest of your day to you!
