From the backyard this morning.

Atleast good things are still happening in the backyard. Today is looking good thus far. And the sun is shining! Yay! It's a new day, and I plan to make the best of it. I'm off to mingle with the chickens, transplant 20+ tomato plants, hang some laundry on the clothesline, and soak in some vitamin D.

Happy Sunday!

A terrible weekend is bound to happen every now and again...

And THIS was one of them!
Starting with Friday, I broke out into hives from head to toe. Still unsure of the cause. I was an itchy, miserable mess. Welts were literally appearing and growing before my eyes. Luckily benadryl calmed it down and induced lots of sleep. Woke up late Saturday morning completely normal. Insane how it just appears out of the blue, with no real explanation of why. Glad that's over!
And the fun continues...
Went to dinner with friends Saturday night, and as I pulled out of their front driveway, through their front gate and several mud puddles, I took a left turn onto a dirt road and slid straight into a ditch full of water! (It has rained here for 2 weeks straight) Scary is an understatement! I was driving slowly and slid for what seemed an eternity. Couldn't move an inch. Began crying as I heard gushing water pour into my jeeps passenger side, then realized my Louis Vuitton bag had 4 inches of water in it! Ugh! Luckily, I was pulled out, with a tractor, with minor damage done. Although it can be repaired, it hurt my feelings a lot. I cried like a little girl. Just mad at myself for not being more careful. Grrr. Part of my front tire cover was ripped off and is now sitting in the back seat. Neat! (sarcasm) However, I know it could be worse. Hopefully, I can laugh about it all in a month. But, as of now, I'm a nervous wreck, my chest hurts from anxiety and I am waiting for the sleeping pill I took earlier to kick in.
Hopeful for a better Sunday! XO

Vacation in July.

Recently... 
I took a solo trip to Florida to visit my Aunt Joann, my mothers older sister. Gone for a week! She lives 25 minutes from Amelia Island. It was a much needed, relaxing and wonderful vacation!

Most mornings, for breakfast we had oatmeal with fresh fruit and nuts, and black coffee.

At night we stayed up late (until 3 am usually) with conversation, long stretches on the floor, and icecream sandwiches.

Had mostly seafood dinners, some were seaside. Oh, and Keylime pie.

Daytime was spent soaking in the sunshine at the beach or pool. An occasional nap afterwards.

Laughter. Tears. Cleansing of the soul.
Definitely going back again real soon.



Hope you had a happy 4th of 
July.
