The sky's the limit!

Yes, why not aim high, eh?!
These days it seems that whenever I aim my gaze to the sky I see a fantastic work of art. When I see less of the ocean I particularly enjoy the sky.

And speaking of aiming for the sky: hubs is away at a business trip, so aiming for the sky goes for a lot of activities this week.

Fall always makes me long to cook. Meatballs in the making here.

And here.

Done. Tasted great!

Evening sky.

Glorious, fabulous, wonderful, beautiful and perfect.

'Twas time to throw some garbage away. Our little helper did a great job.

Father and son. Warms my heart.

Fall showing off!

Now this couple is in for some fun: Saturday candy-shopping, café:ing and being together!

There's nothing I'd rather do on a Saturday.

My heart!

Eager by the counter.... Will Anders see him? Will Anders present him with an ice cream?

(yes, of course Anders saw and of course he came through in the ice cream department!)

Maybe not even the sky is the limit? Well, it sure is beautiful:

This, I cannot believe!

The moon seems so close.

The cosiness of our home. When fall is all of a sudden all around.

The cocooning begins

It is here now, the season where we cuddle up inside, we digest all the goings on of summer and we cocoon together and enjoy calmness of a new dimension. 

Summer's the season for being outdoors, being active, staying up late and socializing and fall is for being more laid back, picking up where winter left off half a year ago. 

I love the stews, the TV-series that come back, the hugging watching a DVD-box at night with The Husband and lighting candles everywhere.

We recuperate after a hectic summer and at the same time we start the slow charging for the next one.

 (the one where we will find time to do all those things we somehow didn't find time to do this summer - I can't believe it came and went so fast?!)

This I love seeing.

And this! The Boy knows how to get comfy.

I hope the first part of the week treated you good!
We're in for part two, it starts today. I'm glad we've made it this far!!

The sky's the limit!

The sky
It's the first teller of what kind of day it'll be.
If it's grey I know to put on a black dress and if it's clear blue and the month of May, then it has to be un-black and maybe even sandals?!
The sky is every bit as magic as the ocean and it's almost guaranteed to make a good photo, regardless of the weather.

We had a grand thunder storm the other day.

It was this summer's first thunder storm but certainly not the last. It brought us beautiful clouds.

It turned from sunny and light into grey and dark in a minute. Perfect candle weather!

Just now I saw geese flying passed my window cheering each other on, up there in the today white-and-blue sky. Do you think I swing for the fence if I say I would have liked to hang with those sisters, flying off to a beach somewhere?
There is something totally free about birds flying together with a clear destination.

Hail came with that thunder storm.

And then it feels like magic when sun comes shining again, afterwards.

I have a new idea, a new plan to make even more the most of every day (yeah, you know by now that's a passion of mine!). 

Will Smith says it so well in "Hitch", he says: 

"Begin each day as if it were on purpose" - darn right and I'll start doing that!

Here's the plan: I'll set everything up in the evening - and get up 10 minutes earlier in the morning - for a "Hotel de la Anna"-breakfast. 

How about that? 

Candles, plates, napkins, soft music, a newspaper (in the iPad, maybe The NewYorker?). 

I can't wait to try it!

We're all happy to see the sun again, whether we're people or flowers!

(how can you not praise the sun and life when you see beauty like this?)

Sometimes it seems like our life is a long row of "Monday snuggles"!

There's more to Monday snuggle than popcorn: there's also lego...

I love lanterns, by the way and I don't think you can have too many.

How about that sky eh?!!

And now we're there again, in the middle of the week. I'm starting to long for the annual summer vacation. This year I'll have five weeks off, in a row. That'll be nothing short of marvellous.
