West Michigan

That One Perfect Picture

Once in awhile, I get a photograph that even leaves me speechless, and I am my own worse critic!

This was my first attempt at using a lens ball for photos, and I was really happy with the results. I am hoping it won’t be my last time using it, as it rolled off those jagged rocks it was propped on and I know there are two spots that are now scuffed. Hopefully they are exactly opposite of each other, and I can keep them to the sides and use this ball again.

I took a lot of photos, which I will be adding here and on one of my other blogs. If you are in the mood for some teen angst as well, you can always check out my blog Parenthood and Other Horror Stories . I have about a week’s worth of teenage drama that is about to get aired out, as well as some other things going on in my life right now.

I promise I’ll be back to the books on here soon!

My October Book Box…

…Has now become my Autumn book box!

I did not know planning a wedding would take up so much of my time! Especially when my daughter and son-in-law did the majority of the work 🙂

I do not want to rush putting the boxes together so I can ship them out this week and have them received well before Halloween. I have a bit of tweaking to do and want to add a couple other items. I do not see any reason why they will not be shipping before the end of October, and they will still be filled with Fall goodies!

I am so glad now that I did not buy Halloween-specific books, and focused on mystery books instead!

And I don’t know what the weather is like where you are, but here in West Michigan, it is sunny and mid-seventies all week. Which does not make me a happy girl…I am ready for 50 degree days, scarves, and crisp air!

 

 

When I am Not Reading or Editing…

…or raising girls, or working, or homeschooling, or making bookish gifts for my Etsy store, or trying to squeeze in time with my amazing boyfriend, or going to college… I take pictures! I love nothing more than getting in my car before the sun rises, and getting pictures. I love nature, flowers, plants, wildlife, and macro pictures are my favorite!

But Autumn in West Michigan is definitely my favorite time of year!
