Waiting and Wishing for Summer

Summer, summer, summer! It is almost here! In less than 3 weeks I will start my beautious summer vacation, and I cannot be more excited! I am anxiously awaiting the wonderful summer days, and the even better, cool, summer nights!

For now, I am trying to find every bit of summer that I can grasp. . .For example, I took a few photos of the summery flowers on the hill behind my house. Take a gander =)

Oh, I really just cannot wait until the wonderfulness starts! I am already making a list of summer books I must read. I will hopefully relax under a tree with these books on the summer days, but with the Southern California heat, it is hard to say!

I hope you all can manage to get through the last weeks. . .I know I will have some amount of difficulty!!

It Is Time...

Her art is so whimsical and charming! Everything I love in the world =)

Just for a spoiler. . . Here are a couple of my favorite works by her!

Oh. . .

Oh, it has been quite some time since I have last blogged. My last post was about two very sick, and very beloved horses. Sadly, I must tell you that my most adored horse Casper, has died. I am still not able to talk about it much, so I'll leave it at that.

On a lighter note, this past Saturday I went to Los Angeles to see the most amazing Yann Tiersen! He is best recognized for doing the music for the whimsical French film Amelie.

The concert was amazing. I was bummed because he never picked up an accordian, or played the piano, but he did, however, play some amazing new music on his guitar. I especially adored he and his violin. He played the most wonderful violin solo "Sur Le Fil". Here is a video of him playing it the night I saw him!
