getting into the spring of things...

April 28, 2018 Arlene Giddings

and suddenly,
it's spring.

the sun is shining,
the ice is melting
and my boots squish ankle deep
in mud
and i couldn't be happier.

spring is a game changer.

it's a whole new mindset.

it's a release
a reprieve
a cure for the winter blues
that you sometimes had
panic attacks
thinking would never come...
and then
one day you woke up
and it was here.

i really wanted a hot chocolate...

February 12, 2017 Arlene Giddings

but didn't want to go outside...
or far outside at least...

i don't do well with cold...
i'm fragile that way.  :)
although my husband would call it
being a bit of a pansy...
well...
whatever.

pansies are kind of pretty...
are they purple?
cause i like purple.

but anyway.
i wanted hot chocolate
and to take some photos outside
because it was sunny
and looked deceivingly warm...
so with the help of my 17 year old
who ALWAYS jumps at a chance to
drive the car
i did both.

he went and got me hot chocolate and a doughnut
while i spent about all the time i could handle
in the cold
(roughly 15 minutes...heeheehee)
and then
i took photos of the
doughnut.

what can i say?
did you really expect anything different from me?
it's such a pretty doughnut!

father's day weekend 2016

June 19, 2016 Arlene Giddings

i have not been here in a while...
good intentions
but life is starting to get busy again

but this was a good weekend.

i shot my first wedding of my last season of weddings
which i think i keep repeating
to make myself get used to saying that...
my LAST season.
this is it.

which is both liberating and bittersweet sad.

the wedding was beautiful.
and the fact that it was my sweet cousin getting married
just added icing to the sweet sunny day.
they had an outdoor wedding in my aunt & uncle's backyard
and i can't wait to post photos of how
GORGEOUS
that yard turned out. 
it literally took my breath away.

and because it was family,
it meant i got to sit with my parents and
another aunt & uncle for the meal
which was so awesome.

that guy i love <3

and today was father's day...which
meant the building of a new bbq
and a subsequent meal cooked on the new bbq...
a new deck chair complete with it's own cooler
and a harmonica.

it's been a great weekend...
i'm sad to see it come to an end.
<3

In the one i love most, we are family Tags father's day, my dad, that guy i love, family, weddings, truth, sunshine, bbq
