and the sky opened up

what a gift last night :

on my way home from doing my first lecture

(which was enjoyable. yay!)

i looked up from my commute...

having to stop immediately

clouds were moving quickly as was the sun

only minutes exist at this time of evening

it was pause or pass

obviously, i paused. got out of my car

breathed in deeply

the wind helped rush the cool air into my lungs

filling them up effortlessly

i wish for more moments like these

where i feel connected to natural elements

even in the city

xx,

Lynsey

pretty things before the weekend

catch a glimpse of these

my mother has grown the most beautiful hydrangea blossoms

and we're praying they are here next June

Patrick and I have set our wedding date for June 25, 2011 !

and wouldn't it be nice if these could make an appearance?

i love everything about these...

their petals, shape, and color

after some bargain hunting

my collection of tiny glass vases is well underway

ah, the kitchen is full of cuteness at the moment.

i'm tickled...

pink

ah, yes, we Phelps love a good pun

hope everyone has a blessed weekend!

i'm off to a little getaway with some pals

cheers,

Lyns

go out !

hello hello!

it's not too often i have the time on my hands to stroll about
enjoying the sunshine
but today i HAD to make time

morning brought the cool breath of autumn
which the afternoon continues to exhale

my lungs are fresh today
my pedals were pushed faster than usual
carrying my body through the spots of sun and shade

strange how a little piece of nature can go so far
20 minutes outside & i feel revived
*sigh*

hope the day is treating you well
& that you make a little moment for yourself
to experience the wondrous change

xo,
Lynsey
