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...

...For you to check out a most amazing artist! Her name is Lisa Falzon, and here is the link to her wonderful shop!

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!

And here are some photos that I took!

Two Sick Horsies :(

Yesterday, my friend Kyla and I went to visit my favorite horse Casper, and her favorite horse, Apollo. Both of our boys are very sick and we just want to spend as much time with them as possible...You never know how soon they may disappear forever :(

But we had a lovely time. We groomed them up, fed them billions of treats, and took many pictures!

Here is my lovely Casper and me:

Here is Kyla and her Apollo:

Unfortunately, it is only Wednesday, but soon enough it will be Spring Break! I can't wait for the adventure!

A Lovely Friday, A Lovely Ride

I just got home from the stable where I just had the loveliest ride! I am now in such a good mood! The weather was just lovely. With the time change, it was still light even though it was a 6 'o clock ride. The sun was setting and the temperature was a perfect 70 degrees.
It was a hard lesson of course; very exhausting, great exercise, and I literally used muscles in my body that I never knew existed! Literally!

And now I am so happy to remember that is Friday. I'm not sure what I will do this weekend, but I'm sure it will be lovely and relaxing.

Enjoy your weekend! Do something good for your soul!
