Round Two

I’m back in the beautiful Keys for the second time this summer. It’s been pretty action packed, including going snorkeling for the first time this morning…and getting seasick for the first time.

But right now I’m in a huge hotel bed wearing yoga pants and an oversized sweater, watching a movie on Lifetime, and I couldn’t be happier to just veg out for a little while.

Another Weekend

Let’s skip the work week and pick right up with another Saturday with friends, shall we? This time I’m in Sebastian, FL and reminded once again how much I love getting further south into the more tropical parts of this state. I may dream of European cities, even gray and rainy ones, but I’m happy to call the Florida palm trees and sunshine and beaches home.

Sebastian, FL!

Guten Morgen Sonnenschein

I suppose there’s at least one perk to working early on a Saturday.

Sleepy Snapshots

I sort of started getting ready for bed super early, thinking I’d make it by 9. I didn’t, but I’m still aiming for 10!

Just enough time for a few random photos:

Such a cutie

Herman being a cutie.

More Key West, via my sister’s Facebook. I feel so lucky to be going back to the Keys next month.

Schlaf gut!

Repetition

What can I say? The sky is different every morning and it makes me happy every day.

Night is nice too, even if I can’t quite capture it. iPhone view from the lovely Casa Marina Penthouse Lounge by the beach.

Beryl

Do you remember when ole Beryl came barrelin’ through?
Oh I remember when ole Beryl came barrelin’ through
Heard his thunder in the distance
Like he was comin’ round to git us
Do you remember when ole Beryl came barrelin’ through?

(In truth he shut off all our power
For some peaceful, rainy hours)
When ole Beryl came a’barely barrelin’ through

Fade To Gray

My mom alerted me that the sky was on fire, and we both reached for our cameras. Standing outside in cooler weather than usual, looking past the rooftops and palm trees across the street, we watched the clouds fade from electric pinks and oranges to dark purples and grays, mesmerized. “I think my summer officially just ended,” she said. “That’s the sun setting on my summer.”
