Well guys, today is the day. I have noticed this happen to other bloggers I follow and hadn’t experienced it yet but I guess today is the day. I have been staring at my keyboard/screen for the past 45 minutes and haven’t been able to come up with a single word. I could write a post about how much I LOVE this dress & I LOVE those shoes but perhaps that love feels so trivial with all the terrible things happening in our world right, both near and far. My heart is broken for the people in Nice. I simply don’t know what to say.
So today I’m sharing some photos that make me feel at peace, calm, and grounded. On the way home from Edmonton last weekend B and I pulled over to take some photos in the blooming canola. Growing up on the farm some of my favourite memories are piling into the farm truck and heading down the dirt roads to check crops. My dad would test us asking what each crop was. I would almost always get it wrong and still do…I had to send him these pictures to ask what it was, canola or mustard? After driving around we would almost always stop for a treat. Ah, those were the days, when a simply vanilla ice cream cone with sprinkles would solve all the problems…
I hope you all have a beautiful weekend. Thank you all for your continuous support. I love you all! Remember, even the smallest act of kindness can make the world of a difference.
In the words of Ellen, be kind to one another.

Beautiful photos as always Holly! It is important to stop and notice the beauty around us and realize that we are so very fortunate! Perhaps not that you didn’t have anything to say but in fact you had a different way to say it! ❤️

lovely article, babe. it breaks my heart when I think about all the horrible things going on in the world, with the recent attack in Nice and police shootings in different parts of America and all. it breaks my heart even more to think that those things also happen every single day in conflict areas, even far worse things. and to realize that we still have the privilege of laying back with all the comfort and safety (although these days who knows if we even have safety to hold on to) and indulge in the little things that surround us everyday and be able to smile about it, all such comfort co-existing with what our friends in the conflict areas are going through every moment of their lives. damn. we really gotta be more thankful and embrace all these little wonders, don’t we? thanks for the reminder, love 🙂
Holly
Wynne. We sure do! It’s times like these we really realize how lucky we are to live in such an amazing place, but it’s everyday that we need to be thankful. Thank you for the sweet and thoughtful comment. XOXO
