Unplugging

Lately all the political crap being shoved down my throat on every media outlet imaginable is just too much for me & my anxiety. It frustrates me how many people on both sides will post stuff that is not even factual. I seriously can not tell you how many times a day I roll my eyes after doing my own research.

I feel like shouting Google is your friend & so is the local library.

So yesterday I gave my phone to the hubs so we would have a map and wouldn’t get totally lost in the wilderness and unplugged for several hours. We went on a nice 6 mile hike through the woods to the River. My back & feet hated me but my soul needed it!!!

It was so nice to just breathe in the fresh air and spend time chatting and laughing with my guys.

I am really hoping that everything going on in our nation today will soon make sense but in the mean time I think I will be unplugging a lot more this year!!

Happy Monday my friends.

Cupcakes & Cartoons Make Everything Better

I was having a minor pity party for myself yesterday so I decided I needed cupcakes and since I had some ripe bananas I made these banana cupcakes with peanut butter frosting. The recipe is on Playz With Food’s website. They are super tasty and I could probably just sit in front of the TV with a big bowl of the icing.

Speaking of TV I don’t know about ya’ll but I am so over all the news and talk shows in the morning. So much negativity lately that I literally have been watching cartoons instead. Matt & Matilda prefer them anyway during our morning snuggle sesh. LOL

What have you been up to this week?

Been trying to practice motion shots this week and I have been failing miserably. Oh well there is always next week right??

 

Weekend Happenings

Not much went on this weekend except we went from Spring weather on Saturday…

To rain, wind & tornado warnings which was super fun all day Sunday…

To back to the appropriate season Winter today. It is a lovely 65 today and is crazy windy.

Oh & my laptop died may she rest in peace or pieces which is what I wanted to do to her when she decided to go hella crazy and the keyboard would no longer work!!

How was your weekend?

The Sky Is The Limit

Right??

I went out last night to try my hand a photographing the night sky…Let’s just say my camera app for nighttime does a whole lot better then I do with my DSLR. It was bad…

Like just a big blob of black with a orb bad!

So I added some stars in PSE. It’s still my photo and I made the stars so it counts right???

Then today I was trying to get some light flare which I got a bit of but I wanted to jazz it up.

So with the help of The Coffee Shop blog I made a little bit artistic.

I have been following her blog for a while and I love how she goes through the steps to really teach you how to do stuff.

I guess I better enjoy these blue skies cause according to our weatherman we are in for a soggy weekend.

Wordy Wednesday

Just a few pictures I have taken over the past couple days:

Matilda because duh she is gorgeous!! LOL

Ya’ll our yard does not know what to do with itself since the South doesn’t know what dang season it is.

My aloe & green onions are going nuts.

It feels like spring here not winter.

And the weeds are coming up everywhere which makes me sad cause that means grass will start coming back in soon and Matt will be blowed up with a rash. Joys of having a dog allergic to everything…

Plus these little cuties keep showing up in our yard cause I think they are just as confused as the weather!!!

Hope you are having lovely weather where you are!
