Just Pretty Things

So.... oops. I haven't posted anything for this column in two weeks! I don't know what happened last week, but after my zoo post, I kind of dropped off the planet. I think I'm finding more as I get into blogging that it's something I like to do, but it's not something especially important to me so much that I am good at keeping up on it. I have my moments where I'm super motivated and inspired and post every day that I'm supposed to. However, there are some days and weeks that I just don't feel like it. I'm sorry for my lack of motivation in the blogging department. Like I said, I really do like it, but I don't always love it. Anyway, I'm here today and I've got some lovely photos for you to enjoy.

This past week has been good for me. I started babysitting my niece this week and today I've got the day off, but I definitely still have a lot on my to-do list. Nicholas left this morning for North Manitou Island to get away and go backpacking by himself for a few days to read and relax among nature. I went backpacking with him last summer on the island and it was wonderful. Challenging, but wonderful. I'm actually a little bit jealous he got to go without me. I'm also a little bit sad because I'll have zero contact with him for a few days. Which yeah, no big deal, but kind of a big deal, ya know? I just love him so much and like talking to him every day. I'm sure some of you can relate. :) Anyway, I better get started on my to-do list! Enjoy today's pretty things.

 This looks so relaxing. I miss kayaking, and I've only done it once!  (via)

I just want to buy an old RV, renovate/decorate it, and adventure with Nicholas. One day we will. (via)
