friday i'm in love...

A rainy, wet friday
but I’m ok with that.
I cleaned the house this morning
and now I am in fresh pjs
and a hair mask
and monster slippers
eating cinnamon hearts
and listening to
mumford and sons
while puttering around
at the little blue desk.

I know it’s immature
but I am avoiding the news…
I am scared that my brain
won’t know the difference
between the responsibility of
being informed
and the inability to
claw my way out of the
rabbit hole
a person can easily fall into.

I don’t know what to believe…
I don’t know what is true
and what is blatant speculation
and distraction and lie.
I don’t know enough about anything
to feel informed
and what is informed anyway
if what you are being told is
a slant, an agenda, a motive…

I am tired.

So instead, I put the phone out of my reach
and I watch the chickadees outside my window,
I crunch cinnamon hearts between my teeth.
I listen to songwriters and poets and
the pug snoring on the couch.
I stand on the deck
and feel the misty rain on my face
and I breathe deep.

This.
This is where I am today.

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE:

💜I absolutely positively fell in love with this house and property and this guy’s mindset.

💜I am hungry for music lately….like literally starving for it. Here is what is on repeat: this one, obsessed with this one, oh….and this one! and thisssssss!

💜I adore the colors in this kitchen…and the whole house really.

💜 cinnamon hearts

friday im in love....

I am hitting the point
where winter no longer
feels like a fun challenge,
I go from
THIS YEAR I’LL BE DIFFERENT,
I’LL BE A WINTER PERSON!! :)
to a cold, shivering, sleepy
messy mass of a person
who just wants blankets and
naps and books
and who said I was going to
cut out diet coke again
I AM A GROWN UP
I CAN CHANGE MY MIND.

Sigh.

So anywaysssss….
in light of that, here is what I am
currently loving:

♥ READING - the invisible life of addie larue….
i was in a bit of a slump but this is helping to
push me out of it…and I catch myself still
thinking about it when I am not reading it…
like…but…how…could that really…
how would it work or feel…(and yes, I know it’s fiction). :)

♥ BINGEWATCHING - severance
although I will be honest,
i spend most of the time
lamenting to Pugsley
that i HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING.
this all better make sense at the end.
but I am hooked.
(and another one that I catch myself
pondering when not watching it…)

♥ EATING - potatoes.
specifically little baby potatoes
that take 5 minutes in the microwave
and then I just mix in whatever else
i have cooked on hand…could be chicken,
could be a pork chop…could also have
a salad thrown in there….and if I
don’t eat it all, i just reheat it
and add more random things to it
for then next meal.

♥ LISTENING - so I listen to this
at least once a day….and have been
for a long time now.
Which seems odd, I know. 🤷‍♀️

♥ DREAMING ABOUT -
summer, camper vans, building a home sauna,
Newfoundland, bird feeders, gardens,
knitting projects, treehouses,
blackberry jam, sunshine on my skin…

♥ new baby plants make me so happy!

friday i'm in love 👻

It’s the first day of new month.
That makes me happy.

THINGS I AM LOVING RIGHT NOW:
🍂I have not had a “really bad” headache
in about a week.

🍂Mild fall temperatures that make me
want to be outside which means I made it
to the park that I always try to get to
for fall photos and it did not disappoint.

🍂Reading this made me laugh cause…
me. I’m the red flag. Me.
I fit two out of three of the flags.

🍂this was just cool.

🍂Did a dry needling session with my
physio girl and she focused on the front muscles
in my neck…and while it hurt like the devil
to have it done, please see my first entry
regarding no bad headaches in a week…
fingers crossed.

🍂So excited to have gotten tickets for this
tonight! Nirvana!! Grunge!!! Yay!

I am still sad that Sarah McLachlan’s
Moncton concert is postponed but I am
hopeful it will be rescheduled.
More finger crossing. 😊

and a random picture of the pug
cause he’s cute
and I haven’t posted anything
about him in a long time.

friday i'm in love...(with one small rant)(but mostly love) :)

I came to do
Friday I’m in Love
but I feeling so happy
from my Friday adventure
that it’s all that I want to
talk about.
😊

I wasn’t going to go far
but ended up going pretty far
for staying on the island…
all the way to East Point Lighthouse.
(Also can I complain just a tiny bit
about how gawd-awful ugly all that
metal fencing is around the site….
I mean I get that it’s dangerous
but really…that fence completely ruins
absolutely any view you have there…
can someone please fix this?
Honestly, I was so disenchanted by it
that I don’t think I will ever go back again.
Seriously. The fence is hideous.)
(Rant complete)

I made a stop at one of my most favorite places,
Mooney’s Pond.
I had the whole trail to myself for about 2 hours.
The leaves are changing color,
it was the perfect temperature,
and the sun came out while I was there.
🌞

I shot a wedding last weekend,
the first in a long time…
and doing that made me want to take the
big camera out with me today.
And I was so glad I did.
It was a perfect day to get lost
looking for the light.

Other things I love:

♥ rewilding…I know I shared this before but
it’s something I really would love to know more
about and would love to see take off and be considered
the norm.

♥ reading nooks

♥working on homework today while I was out and about
for the creativity course I signed up for…gathered items
while out for my walk today

I hope you had a fantabulous friday…
there are lots of other things I want to talk about
(like…did you read the ACOTAR books?
I am dying to talk about these! And Perfect Couple…
the netflix series vs the book! but I digress…
future posts…haha)

but I will say one last thing
because he is on my mind a lot
right now…
my dad would love Mooney’s Pond.
🩵💙🩵💙

friday i'm in love...

It was a rainy Friday off
but I didn’t really mind.
I spent the day drinking coffee in a pumpkin mug,
catching up on blogs and pinterest,
making big plans for updating
my living room colors and
creating a new artsy/creative space and
reading nook
and finally getting back
to the little blue desk and
tried out my new paints.
Big learning curve…..but still so fun!
