Odds & Ends ~ July

Hello, everyone! How is your summer going?

The month of July was full of all kinds of adventures, including:

• a fourth of July gathering, complete with fireworks and patriotic dessert kabobs :)

• enjoying lots of horsey-time, between riding myself and helping with a summer horse camp!

Flash went bobbing for apples!

Sweet Sawyer and his pony, Darla

• my best friend Catrina and I loving on my nephew Isaiah (left) and her niece Bella (right) at a welcome-to-Texas party for a new friend...

Aaand just one nephew grin for you to enjoy! What you can't see is that his onesie says, "Wild About Auntie" *hint hint* :)

• a fun photo shoot with friends and their puppies...

Annabelle was a lovely model :)

• cellfies [a highly technical term coined by Steven Sharp Nelson] (noun): a selfie with your cello! 

Actually this cellfie was with my temporary friend Boris. My own cello was at the luthier's for "surgery"...

• and of course no sweltering summer in Texas is complete without yummy frozen custard!

I have been slowly meandering through a couple of books, too, but this list is far too short! 

Do you have any suggestions for me? :)

- Call the Sabbath a Delight by Walter Chantry

- Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

In lieu of music, I have currently been enjoying Love Will Have the Final Word by Jason Gray, the score of The King's Speech by Alexandre Desplat, some songs by Peter Hollens, and of course The Piano Guys. What tunes do have you been listening to lately?

Until next time, y'all! :)
