A Day in the Sun

I always approach spring with mixed feelings; while I love the sunshine and flowers, I hate my seasonal allergies. We haven't had much of a spring yet,  but because of my allergies, I haven't really minded. 

The warm, almost summer like weather and the fact that I had no obligations today, lured me outside, despite the flowers popping up. My dad and I took a trip to Moon Lake Park and hiked around the lake and field where the pool used to be.





After our little hike, which , let's be honest was more like a walk that happened to be in a forest, we visited Hillside Farms to visit the animals and to eat some delicious ice cream. 


Back at the house, I cleaned up my yard and put out the garden gnomes that have been hanging out inside for the winter. I may be looking forward to spring after all, if the allergies keep away.

Haunted Ice Cream Parlor (A Cozy Sleep Story)

            It’s been a very hot week, so hot that you’ve begun to feel lethargic and uncomfortable. You love summer , but this has been a bit much. You settle into bed at the end of yet another, long, hot day, but you are having trouble falling asleep no matter how you adjust your fan.   You take some deep breaths, trying to relax and empty your mind of the days wants and tomorrows plans, but all you can think of is how good a bowl of nice, cold ice cream would be. Hmmm, ice cream......   You close your eyes only to open, finding yourself on a humid city street you know well, but this version feels different somehow . You ponder this as you walk , but a side street, more like an alley, catches your eye. “Well, that’s new,” you think as your feet guide you down the narrow street paved with cobblestones and lined with shops you have never heard of, at least, not in the city you know.   A pale blue sign creaks in a light breeze, causin...

Creating

With so many technological advances it seems like some people are content to simply enjoy what others have created. People play games and watch movies on their phones, even when there out in public and can be getting to know people or enjoying their surroundings. It's not that I don't enjoy playing my Nintendo DS, or watching Law and Order SVU marathons, or even that I don't acknowledge the spring board computers and apps can be to creativity. It was just nice to see a girl a bit younger then myself, sitting at Barnes and Noble, listening to her iPod and knitting away with bright, strawberry red yarn.

beANDenjoy: A Book Subscription Box

Image
            I’ve been intrigued by subscription boxes for some time now. For those who haven’t heard of them, it’s basically a box you get for one month or a series of months.  There’s a variety of boxes you can get delivered to your house, ingredients for meals, craft kits, snacks, geek themed items, just to name a few.             I recently discovered that Etsy carries a selection of subscription boxes. I decided to try a book themed box. After searching through Etsy I found a one month subscription box from beANDenjoy .  One box was only $20, a great deal cheaper than other Etsy shops. I chose just one month. Not only due to cost but just to see what one was like before committing to several months.            I was pleasantly surprised when my package arrived only two days after it shipped from...
