Or maybe just take a gander at some photos? :) After my entrepreneurial duties of waking up early to bake fresh
spiced chai muffins (complete with maple syrup glaze and all credit goes to Miss. North for finding the recipe) for the shop downstairs, I whipped up my BEST batch of scrambled eggs. For serious. All other scrambled eggs I have made were failed attempts at what I achieved today, you guys. They were glorious. David kept asking if I put cream cheese or something in them to make them so fluffy. Nope. That's just 8 years of trying right there. And now, I'm never looking back.
Slightly dramatic, but you know me, so we're square.
Anyway - after muffin delivery, breakfast, a bit of cleaning and David realizing if you don't wash your shirts regularly this will happen....

.... we ventured to the Botanical Gardens for a gander at the cacti. And by ventured I mean walked across the road and over the hill, through the woods. I said "MAN, how lucky are WE!?" at least five times today!

The place was beautiful. The sun peaked out from the clouds often enough to ignite some of the fauna and warm our skin, making us hang around a little longer ever exploring another unknown area. The place is fantastically huge and spotted with families and couples enjoying the day. And while we explored, I realized I have a new hobby. While it's as about as sexy as a grandma, I feel like this has a lot to do with where I've been in life and the people I've connected with. It is.... drumroll... observing nature. ZING! Thanks Mom and Dad for movin' us to the country! :) Anyway, it doesn't matter what or where - the young deer tiptoeing her way through the woods, crisp orange leaves falling from the tree, or patiently awaiting the one shooting star streaking across the glittering black night. I love it.
That said, I soaked up every bit with my photo taker today. Ladies and Gentleman, may I introduce to you, some of my favorites from today (hot tip - clicking on the photo makes them bigger!):

| Red pants = wiggle wiggle, shake shake, dance in the leaves. |
 |
| Kicking leaves. Attempting to create the image that's in my head. |
 |
| One heck of a sweet pine cone! |
 |
| Fuzzy tree with a very nice haircut! |
 |
| Come, lets play a game of Bananagrams, drink a bottle of white, nibble on tasty cheese and pretend its our own domain! |
Blogger really makes a mess of photos, doesn't it? You get the idea though :) Beautiful day!
