Fall Nature Walk

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: Fall, nature walk

 Let your love be like the misty rains,

coming softly, but flooding the river.  ~Malagasy Proverb

Kenny and I were able to spend some time together this weekend, just the two of us. It was so nice and relaxing. I needed the break.  You can see why and more photos here.

Not our heart but very sweet.

The place we were walking still had their Halloween stuff up from their haunted hay ride so we had a lot of fun playing around with the decorations. Yes I would want to be buried with my iPhone. Ha ha.

Radiation Hazard. Ha ha.


It was a lot of fun. Look for even MORE photos in the next couple of days. Since I am doing more writing and less photo challenges let me know if there is something you want me to share or write about.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
