Some pics

Woops... I forgot to post some pictures. But here are some from this past weekend. More camping, another wedding, and the Devonian Botanic Gardens..

I love seeing my shadow in the summer. I took this picture after a particularly long week of miserable weather - rain and wind for days in a row. The sun was so refreshing!



This is me, my parents and my brother on the Suspension Bridge in Drumheller...


Outdoor flowers at De's wedding... Her mom is such an amazing gardener!




Believe it or not, this is actually from a cactus...


That'll be all for now...

Vacations are little reset buttons in my soul...

I've decided that vacations (even short ones) are little presents that God gives us so we don't all up and actually go insane, rocking in the corner and pulling out our hair. At the end of a very very long week, I managed to swing some time off to go camping with my family. After about an hour of driving and 10 minutes by the fire roasting marshmallows, life had calmed down, and the freak-outs from the week were (nearly) forgotten. By the end of the weekend, I was almost ready to join the world of child-care workers again.

Pics to come...

Spring.... in June

Spring is a wonderful thing.
Painted toenails and sunshine, bright yellow dandelions,
clothespins and freshly washed towels smelling like sun,
apple blossoms...

yes, spring is good. Even late.
in June.

Um, oops.

So I had to get back into blogger for a course that I'm doing right now, and I was somewhat surprised to see that it's been almost a year since I posted anything up here. I'm not sure if this is on purpose or not, but...
