This pretty baby 🌸 stopped me in my tracks this afternoon. While it might be Friday the 13th, and were expecting a full moon tonight, I feel like there are brighter days ahead and for that, I’m grateful.
Day 8: 30 Days of Nature
My morning walk greeted me with these beautiful sunflowers 🌻 along the route. #30DayNatureChallenge
Soaking In Nature and Natural Light - Week 2
If you read last week’s post, you’ll know that I’ve embarked on a new year-long project to take an artist date a week. This week’s artist date appears to have a bit of theme as it reminds me that spring is around the corner and I cannot wait to get outdoors more often, in open space and around nature.
Plant Shop is the perfect little shop that is packed with beautiful plants for your window sill or corner in your room that needs some greenery.
I learned of a new-to-me plant shop, appropriately called Plant Shop, so I set out to find it. It’s as darling and charming as I read and so glad I visited. I followed-up that visit with a trip to the New Independence Library, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite libraries because natural light streams through the enormous windows.
The New Independence Library’s windows and stepped seating area are among the many reasons I love this contemporary Chicago Public Library. It’s easy to get a lot of work done in this space since it feels both open and calm.
Sometimes it’s fun to explore in nearby neighborhoods. A change of scenery can do wonders.
Finally, I had a pocket of time and the weather was nice enough that I decided to go for an extended walk with my dog Scout. Across a busy street from where we live, there is a small neighborhood that is filled with beautiful American Craftsman homes. We trekked in that direction and one corner home always has something to catch the eye. I was drawn to these pretty bird cages that hung from one of her trees.
