Cherry Bomb!

And I'm back! I know this is late, but how was everyone's weekend? I haven't had much time to blog since the weekend, but I'm taking the time now. I went to Friday Night Concerts in the Park. The bands were great; they got people a movin' and a groovin'. Although it was packed, the people were friendly and conversational. And there was shaved ice almost as big as my head! Mine was called the cherry bomb; it was cherry and vanilla and super yummy! If you live in the Sacramento area and you're into music, you should come check it out one of these Friday evenings! Plus it's free. How cool is that?!

                                       

Rocker

I've been totally into music and going to concerts to see live music ever since I was a little girl. And I would say my passion has only grown as I get older. I took this picture when I went to the Launch Festival last year. It was so much fun, and the bands rocked Sacramento! This was one of my favorite bands called Grouplove--and this is their bassist, Sean. They bring so much energy and liveliness when they play. I love how they playfully interact with the crowd!

What's one of your favorite bands? 

Togetherness

These twins' affection for each other was so sweet and heartwarming to see. Faces aglow with beautiful smiles stretched across them! I love this picture because I think it shows love, happiness, and togetherness.

Mirth and youth and warm desire!

"Hail bounteous May, thou dost inspire 

Mirth and youth and warm desire! 

Woods and groves are of thy dressing, 

Hill and dale doth  boast thy blessing. 

Thus we salute thee with our early song, 

And welcome thee, and wish thee long." 

~John Milton~

May Day

What a beautiful day it was yesterday, the perfect beginning of May! We had a lovely May Day festival, and the kids were so passionate about weaving the maypole. It was so nice to be a part of  the festivities.

Happiness is...

"Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

The Little Things

Cairns—peaceful, tiny works of art. They may not be big all the time, but sometimes it’s the little things that catch your eye in life.

Breathe

Take a second and go out in nature. Take a deep breath. Stretch your arms up into the air. Let your problems and worries and stress go. Breathe out. Now doesn't that feel good?

Dappled Light

Dappled light spilling through the forest.

Went on a splendid walk in Muir Woods.  Redwoods stretched towards the sky.

My first blog post ever!

My first blog post ever!  I was feeling kind of exposed, because I don't generally put my work out there, but I thought this would be a simple but nice starter to show how I was feeling.
