an Instant of Life Captured for Eternity

By Melissak

Some weekends turn into fun family get togethers.  Carl’s parents decided to pop in over the weekend.  Now they don’t stay close to us at all, its a 5-6 hour drive to get to us, but when you really miss your sons you don’t care about that.

Our weekend was filled with chickens, a dog that was sporting the cone of shame, walks and of course family.  Photographs make memories last forever, so lets rather take a look at all my memories captured.

 ^^ Horses just playing around.

^^ This photo makes me giggle! Dogs just playing around.  That seems like regret in the one dogs eyes.

^^ Beautiful African Inspired dresses. Just look at those colours.

^^ We have a pot of doom in our house.  Every plant we’ve put in it has died.  All the other plants are doing great, except everything that enters that pot.

^^ Thumbs up for flowers shopping.

^^ The nursery we went to has a lovely coffee shop, filled with cute stray cats.  Just look at this guy.  I’ve names him toothy.

^^ Festive Cacti.

^^ Walks in the park, before we head over to Carl’s Aunts house for a family lunch.

^^ Grampa jacket chic?

^^ Silly face!

^^  Just look at all those leaves.

^^ Yes, Carl and I are wearing almost the exact same shirt.  We didn’t realize this until we got to the park.

^^ Pretty leaves.

^^ Magical light!

^^ Some places really catch your imagination.

^^ Beautiful colours!

^^ This park is so beautiful and tranquil.

^^ I didn’t think anyone would fish here, but okay.

^^ Carl is always taking photos behind my back.  pssh, men.

^^ Socks hanging from a tree.  I don’t know what’s the deal with this.

^^ Can my soul be made out of rainbows? I think so.

^^ Carl’s new hobby, is taking photos of me taking photos.

^^ These things were everywhere.

^^ Handwoven baskets.

^^ Wondrous light.

^^ Carl looks so natural with this chicken.

^^

^^ Just call me the dog whisperer.

^^ Carl’s Aunts house is filled with these wire and beads statues.

^^ You know that moment you look at a photo and go . Gosh, I should have worn more make up.  That’s this photo for me.

^^ Carl’s family photo.

^^ Chickens making a run for the house.

^^ Carl and his parents.  They look so happy.

^^ Chickens, just popping out of every nook and cranny.

^^ Conversations everywhere.

^^ I’ve loving named this guy, Coney.

^^ This is a hand crochet table cloth, done by Carl’s grandmother.  It looks like lace.

^^ Perfectly stacked wood.

^^ Talking abut hiking trails.

^^ Because you can’t go to a lunch without bringing flowers.

What did you do this weekend?
