Rain Makes Me Smile

I adore rainy weekends. The ones when I would rather stay in bed than get moving. And when I do get moving, I do stuff I love, like a craft project or writing a short story.

I love falling asleep with the sound of rain pattering on the tin roof overhead. It sends shivers down my arm, and I love that.

There are rainy days that ruin plans. Rainy days that slosh mud over scheduled picnics. But there’s always something to learn from those days.

The joy that comes after the rain—the mild breeze and the refreshing smell—is a total plus.

Rain, you make me smile. :)

Fresh Paper Makes Me Smile

I had so much fun with my '5 things that make me smile' list blog post that I wanted to go into more detail, throwing in some photography as well.
Ahh...I do love the smell of fresh paper. I discovered I like to take a sniff of a new book before cracking open the cover.
When we get a new ream of paper, I usually volunteer to open it.
And when we go to shopping, the stationary shop is a priority for me.
It's not just the smell of paper that I love. I also grin at imagining the possibilities that could come from a blank page.
Paper, you make me smile. :)

Jacaranda Photos

It's that season again! I think Jacarandas are beautiful, so I took some photos of the ones in our yard.

The first and third photos show the Jacaranda buds before they have fully bloomed.

Hello, I haven't posted for a month! I plan to post more regularly, but meanwhile, here are some photos I've taken since I last posted!

My little sister is always willing to do a photo shoot with me. I wanted to share some of my personal favourites.

I can't do a photo shoot of a brother without plenty of outakes! However, I captured this moment yesterday:
