autumn...

we had a beautiful september here...

although we had a couple stormy weeks, it made for some beautiful foliage...

minus the black hay that was turned to slime in the fields...kid you not...yuck...

now that haying is finished for the year we are able to relax and enjoy the gorgeous, indian summer evenings...

evenings spent basking in the glow of leaf-filtered sunshine while swaying gently in the tire swing...

evenings spent breathing in the silence and slowness of the season...

evenings spent soaking in life's glow...

searching...

where do i even begin...

have you ever just felt lost?

i'm not sure what direction i need to be heading in...

i know who i am, i know what journey i want desperately to be traveling on...

so i'm searching...

can what i seek be found within a patch of mountain clover...

or hidden within the wide expanse of prairie...

i'm not sure what the answers could be...

i do know that it is hard, especially when i was so close; that i was where i needed to be..

i yearn to return to the path i was on at the beginning of summer...

a path where i could let my artistic wings unfurl...

but i'm a mom who has to make choices, choices that i hope are for the best for my little family....hard choices that leave NO choice {does that even make sense...}

so i continue searching, hoping, believing that i can return to my hearts truths...

i've decided to turn off comments for awhile...i feel guilty about not being able to reply to all your kind comments or to be able to visit all your lovely blogs, i'm still trying to get a handle on our new schedule...

i'm hoping to get back to normal soon, if you need to get in touch with me my email is listed in the sidebar or you can find me here or here every once in awhile...

talk with you soon....xoxo

a prairie evening...

just wanted to share a glimpse of an evening on the prairie...

this was a photo shoot i did for my sister and her darling family...

beautiful, natural lighting with a touch of 1968 from florabella's new actions...

btw~ have you ever tried to get two young boys to {smile for the camera} while their wild prairie cousins are out amongst the willows hunting raccoons???  oh, and throw a couple cow dogs into the mix and it made for some interesting photos...i don't think my sis was too impressed with my photography skills!!  LOL!!

happy weekend dear readers!!
