I went on my own personal photo walk during lunch yesterday … which basically means I walked around and took pictures of random things while people looked at me funny. I found out that contrary to popular belief, you can get good photos midday! I ended up with several keepers, but this was one of my favorites.
Another reason I like this time of year … I get to see the sunrise every morning on my way to work.
I’m glidin’ in the beautiful sky, it’s such a clear day, oh
Go ridin’ in your sweet lullabies, come fly away, ay oh
I’m glidin’ in the beautiful sky, it’s such a clear day, oh
Go ridin’ in your sweet lullabies, come fly away

I have friends who are on a mission trip in Mozambique, Africa. When they first arrived a few days ago, they got to go on an African Safari where they saw all kinds of wild animals. As much as I’d love to be with them, this is the closest I’ll get for now – a trip to “Africa” and other part of the world at the Kansas City Zoo. Here are my top five favorite photos of the day. Which one is your favorite?
My favorite season has finally arrived! (Ok Fall…could you just stick around for 6 months and bypass winter altogether?) The leaves are just barely starting to turn on this quite downtown Kansas City street.
Jerod and I ventured outside with some old bread to feed the ducks yesterday, but this sweet little lady beat us to it. Clearly she feeds them on a regular basis, because they stuck to her like white on rice!
In honor of the first day of fall this week, I broke out the Crock-Pot to make my hot chili recipe. I just love coming home to the smell of food and a prepared dinner!
Yesterday was my hubby’s birthday, so we both took the day off to enjoy a little relaxation time. I took him on a surprise tour of the Harley-Davidson factory. He has wanted a motorcycle for quite a while, but seeing all those Harleys has definitely upped his yearning. I keep joking that he can get one after we’ve gotten our [unborn] kids through college.
It’s funny how when you stop to look, you can find something beautiful anywhere, even in an urban alleyway.
Big surprise … we were on the go this weekend again. Friday evening we stopped by a tattoo parlor to get a price quote, because my husband and his brother are getting tattoos for their birthdays here in a few weeks. Saturday we drove down to Joplin, Mo. to see Jerod’s friend’s new baby girl, Tynlie, who was born that morning. After a short visit, we went to a bonfire at a family friend’s house in Southeast Kansas. Sunday we celebrated Jerod and Jacob’s birthdays with the family. (Did you know Jerod is a twin?) As usual, we were thoroughly entertained by his niece and nephew. After a long weekend we finally made it home by 10 p.m. Sunday evening, just in time for bed.
