daydreaming...

While I wait for autumn to arrive here in Phoenix, I'm daydreaming about my trip last month.

There was Canada where I saw an amazing tree called a Weeping Elm (which I'd never heard of).  It reminded me of the Whomping Willow from Harry Potter.  It was majestic from the outside...


and magical from the inside...


Canada also had one of my favorite guilty pleasures which I can usually only get in England (that's probably a good thing)...


There was Bar Harbor, Maine with it's delicious fog...


signs of fall...


and a fairly large chandelier above us as we ate blueberry pie...


There was Newport, Rhode Island.  What a surprise Newport was.  I seriously had no idea how beautiful, historical and full of palatial mansions it is.  What a place...


they even had a pagoda on the beach!


and Andrew Henry found this sign that for some reason reminded him of me...


I just can't imagine why.

Big Happy Birthday shout out to my sweet cousin in St. Augustine and dear friend in Staffordshire!  Two FABULOUS women.
