dancing in the shadows



Two posts in one day! What am I thinking!

Well, I was outbid for the camera. Oh well. Someday when I actually have the money to spend, the right digital SLR will come around.

Ryan and I just watched "She's The One." One of his favorite movies. I must say, I did not like it the first time I saw it. But I gave it another chance and it was pretty great. I actually enjoyed it.

Finley has been crying all night. I think she is bored...we went on a walk, but I don't know how to explain to her that some evenings she just has to play with her toys. This weekend she'll get farm time. That means hay bales, tanks, doors to scratch, and just a lot of lovin' in general. She'll probably even get the queen's treatment at Ryan's aunt's house.

I took this photo because I really like frosted lights and I think our miniature art dude is so funny. I enjoy putting him in disco stances. When we got those shelves, they really were a mess. But now, we have them organized and decorated very simply. I think it's nice that Ryan and I have been able to mesh our styles together.

For me, the hard part has been giving up trinkets. I love little things, artsy things in earthy tones or in red. Red is my favorite color. It makes me feel inspired, and I think that's one of the most important things a color can do. Of course, the blue of the sky and the colors of the sunset are also inspiring; but when I see red, it's as if my brain turns on and that's when creativity begins.

Ryan has let me give in to my red obsession some--he even feeds it a little. I have started collecting red cookware. My french-style rolling pin, my stoneware, my wine opener, etc., etc. are all a deep red. Someday I'll have the red KitchenAid mixer!

But first, I'll opt for the digital SLR.

In the meantime, I'll try to post photos and words every day. I think this is the beginning of something good.

Dance on, disco man, dance on.
