Falling

This past weekend, I fell in love with Savannah all over again. I had yet to feel that way since my move back here in July. But as I went for a walk in Ardsley Park- admiring the trees, draping moss, and radiant leaf spectrums- I finally felt it. I'm back in my most favorite city and am so thankful to be here.













p.s. who ever said the south doesn't get changing leaves?

Positive Red

My dad has been a member of the Northwest Florida Blood Bank since he was old enough to start giving blood. Over the years, he has become very close friends with many of the people who work and volunteer there. I even see him baking rum cakes to bring them every other week...(which if you know my dad, only the really special ones get his cakes). So per his request, I created a paint chip to honor those who work at the Blood Bank along with those who volunteer by giving blood. I plan on delivering it to them upon my return home for the holidays.

This place



Sparkle on the ocean
Eagle at the top of a tree
Those crazy crows always
making a commotion

This land is home to me.

I was talking to my neighbor
He said, "When I get to heaven,
if it is not like this,

I'll just hop a cloud and
I'm coming right back down here

Back to this heavenly bliss.

Joni Mitchell, This Place, 2007
