Things of Beauty: May - June
Hot sunshine in the blueberry patch to test taking (I really enjoyed it!), May and June were packed chock full of loveliness...
Very Favorite Things
A close friend's wedding (fireworks, strings of lights, and s'mores; it was one well planned party), a week long getaway to visit cousins (+ uncle and aunt :)) and grandparents (one of the best types of weeks), the lingering scent of toasted marshmallows from the previous night's bonfire while washing dishes in the morning, kayaking on the river with my brother (rapids + a very tight turn equaled having the most dramatic spill of my life), hauling hay with my father + sister on the back of my brother's flatbed Ford (just living the life folks).
Reading
SO MUCH GOODNESS! From The Scent of Water by Elizabeth Goudge (I can't think of a more perfectly titled story), to Wanderlust Creek by Elisabeth Grace Foley (I seriously have an entire post in the works expounding on my love for that girl's stories!) to finishing my re-reading of the LOTR with The Return of the King; May and June were two months of favorites, both old and new.
Writing
Let's just say I'm becoming an expert at writing random snippets for multiple stories at once.
Out-Of-Doors
Tall, wind brushed prairie grasses under blue, blue skies.
In the Kitchen
Soaked Waffles - Caramelized exteriors with perfectly risen interiors, and topped with berries and real maple syrup and cinnamon; these things are a day dream for the taste buds.

Discoveries
The title says everything; it is seriously the dream show.

That life (nearly) always looks better from the seat of a pick-up truck, the bigger the better.
And I'll just leave you with that truth, folks!
