Laundry Line

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

I really do wish we had a clothes line set up in our backyard.  I have memories of my Nana’s house and her laundry out to hang (along with washed out ziplock bags – my Nana used her three R’s way before it was cool).  Images shown belong to Stephanie Congdon Barnes via 3191 Miles Apart.

Camping Fever

Friday, May 28th, 2010

I cannot tell you how excited I am for today.  I haven’t been camping in two years, and I do think I haven’t had a night away with my husband in that long as well.  We’re going into the Berkshires for a mini vacation surrounded by woods and wildlife.  Unfortunately we waited until the last moment to reserve a campsite, so we’ll be staying at one of those family/RV-ish private campgrounds (apparently there’s all ages bingo Saturday night…) because all the national and state park campgrounds were booked solid.  I don’t mind as long as we can get a site that’s a bit further away from all the hub-bub.  I plan on reading, hiking, sunbathing, spending every minute with my husband and on Sunday I’ll be running a 5K race.  To be able to run a 5K was one of my goals for the new year, and this one will actually be my second race so far.  I’ve already started my 10K training and hope to run a 10K in the late summer.  This race should be interesting as it will be out at Tanglewoods and the location is beautiful.  Anywho, back to the camping… here’s a few images that have me very excited for the weekend…

I hope you have a lovely weekend, especially those of you celebrating Memorial Day here in the States!
