I'm sitting in front of the fireplace (for the nights are wonderfully chilly here),

watching some good ol' X-Files, and although I've been thoroughly enjoying

my summer I find myself quite at a lost of what to say. Perhaps there's just so

much happening I don't even know where to begin! The fact that I've been

rather busy with work doesn't do my blogging any favours either - the last

thing I want to do after typing is spend more time indoors on an electronic

device! So as a result, these pictures are from several days ago. I spent

this extremely sunny day taking breaks swimming in my mom's pool

pool and getting my hands dirty in my garden. I wasn't going to take

any photos that day, but as Paul and I were driving my younger brother

into the city and we passed the most inviting overgrown road you ever

did see, I knew it would be the perfect backdrop to my simple plaid

 dress. I was wearing a quintessential summer straw hat to complete my

rural look earlier, but I must admit, that was more to keep the pesky

black flies from getting at my head rather than a fashion item! Oh, we're

not in Kansas anymore....
