Poweroutage.

We had a power outage all day. We could have used these. I miss using these.

Clouds.

"You were made and set here to give voice to this, your own astonishment." Annie Dillard

"You paint the skies for me to see."

The clouds this week have been absolutely incredible. This doesn't happen in SoCal very often. The sky in Colorado always declared His beauty. Something that I took for granted.

Some things that made me smile this week.

Using these.


The colors. Talk about a proud smirk.

Who is the cutest?

Watching Gilmore Girls season 4 for the millionth time and catching, for the first time, Rory reading Atonement in episode 2. (It's not in this clip by the way.)

The beautiful Australian shepherd in Leap Year. (Not in this clip either.)


Awakening.

PG Tips and Digestives.

Probably my favorite snack. Always. Gotta love World Market for providing these foreign treasures to satisfy my need to feel British. Cheers.

One of these.

I saw one of these today. And I saw the whole thing. And it was beautiful. Aw, the treasures God gives us so that He can show us how much He loves us.

Dreamy.

Sometimes I wish I grew up in a time when computers weren't so central to our lives. There's a romanticism to searching for a book in the library, a mysterious comfort to picking up a newspaper rather than a mouse to get the morning news. The internet makes life so much easier, but so much less rewarding than from the simple effort we used to put into writing letters. The internet has made living vicariously the only way of living. It keeps us from discovering real life for ourselves; the textures, the smells, the thrill of the find, the adventure real life has to offer. The search for simplicity is rewarding. I find it in the rain.

The Girl (#7)

The real whole song is a musical masterpiece. This is short and kind of pitchy sometimes.
