unbelievable leap day.


i can't believe tomorrow is march......especially when this happened today....




it really is so beautiful. 

perfect atmosphere for the walk we (me&k) got to take before dinner.

(steak dinner) yum.

we were wearing our boots and made no effort to circumvent puddles or drifts of snow or slush.



we really didn't want to go inside. so we spent some time jumping around in fresh snow.



so happy leap day everyone!

It's A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood, No.2

The other day was sooooo beautiful- like how every autumn day should be- and I could not resist taking a walk out in the fresh, crisp air with a cup of coffee to sip on. (and of course, my handy little camera) :) 

I just love days when I can actually afford to take time in the middle of laundry/practicing/cooking/whatever I'm supposed to be doing
 and go out and do something spontaneous. In my college days (haha, I'm so old), I used to do a lot more of that sort of thing. Times are changing, folks, and we're not 19 anymore. ;)

Come join me on my walk through photos!
Here we go: (warning: if you don't like lots of pictures, this post is not for you. but then again, who doesn't like pictures?)


First colorful falling leaf I found. 




 so much red to love............




 this house looks like it was painted especially for autumn- doesn't it??




 there's a law school just a couple blocks away, and I snapped this as I saw it in the distance.



for a little school, it's really nice. seriously, why don't they make buildings like this anymore?
the college even has a community garden. so jealous.


this is probably one of my favorite houses to walk by. i think the roof should have actual thatching on it. 



curved edges? yes, please.




I immediately thought of The Secret Garden when I saw this. I really want to see that movie now.



crunchy leaves littering the sidewalks? totally my favorite.


ready for halloween :)



hope you enjoyed going on a little picture stroll with me!
and feel free to drop by for a cup of tea sometime. really anytime.
*love fall*

The Flowers Are Bloomin!


If you live in the Hartford area of Connecticut, you know about Elizabeth Park. It's only a GIANT ROSE GARDEN. It's pretty beautiful. There's a ton of roses, a greenhouse, a rock garden, a gazebo, a pond, a stone bridge, a restaurant with it's own garden...you name it, it's probably there!

But if you don't live in the area, you've probably never been there. Fear not! You won't have to miss out- here is some of the beauty:






If I were a risk-taker, I might have had my wedding here. But I always worry about weather.




The vines are just dripping with roses.




 Ivy covered gazebo. Is there anything more romantic than that?





Happy-almost-friday everyone!
