It's that time of year, again! I love opening the sun roof and feeling those rays, even if it's still a li'l bit chilly!

I may be feeling under the weather, but my nails look better! That Valentine's Day manicure was getting kinda old. I did these myself, so they're far from perfect, but I just love that iridescent chrome color. So colorful and shiny!

Slicing blood oranges to dry; they're so pretty!

Middle Mountain, again...

This has become one of my favorite hikes. The trail has been hard packed by snowmobiles, so we just wore micro spikes, and a lot of layers 'cause it was chilly!

That was MY water!!

It was such a gorgeous afternoon that we just had to climb a mountain!

Buffy was a trooper about being hooked to Mama. I'm afraid I'm really slow, but that's because it's hard work getting up those steep spots!

We made it to the overlook! 

Then we headed over to the peak of South Mountain...

"Are you coming woman??"

We didn't stay long enough to see the sunset, but 'golden hour' did not disappoint!

Good morning! 

They were sound asleep until I started playing a video of a fox 'talking'. 🤣

He's pretty proud of his new shirt!

"Hello? Hello? Is this Domino's? Yes. I'd like to order a pizza...it'll be how long??!" 🤣

Quintessential New England, right there!

Happy birthday Aunt Margie!

Heart Obsidian

I found this beautiful scarf at my favorite store - Mexicali Blues. I wore it as a shawl today and got tons of compliments. It was worth every penny!

This evening my friend let me wear her Star Obsidian ring. It's secret is exposed when you hold it under the light...

A picture perfect day to ski at Harris Farm in Dayton, Maine. 

They're doing a fantastic job maintaining their trail system!

Ike & Ed knew I would just mope around the house on my day off, missing Bruiser, so they insisted we meet up there. I'm really glad he did!

Happy birthday to sweet niece! 

It's seems like this was just yesterday...

Happy Valentine's Day

A li'l bling...

Trying to lighten my mood and get into the spirit of the upcoming holiday.

This is not how his story was supposed to end...

Bruiser passed away unexpectedly today. I can't believe he's gone.

My husband is always teasing me about how I expect life to be all "rainbows and unicorns", so I got the socks!

Basket Island, Biddeford, Maine

A local artist was offering this li'l cutie for sale. When my son saw it he said,"You know that has to go home with you, Mom." So, he bought it for me. He knows me too well!

In order to spend time together inside, Nate, Olivia, and I decided to step outside of our comfort zones and try a painting class at Muse! It was so much fun and our paintings came out great, if I do say so myself!

Then, Ike met us at Otto for some yummy pizza. As it turns out, the pizzeria wasn't far from the house where Dad grew up, so of course I had to go see it. I couldn't believe there was a sundog over it! What're the chances?

All in all, a good day. Nothing better than quality time to make a mom happy!

Mornin'!

I guess I was kinda cute, too! Here I am with Mom & Dad way back when!
