Rocky Mountain Delight

Living in the middle section of the United States has its perks, we are only a days drive from the white sandy beaches of Florida and if you drive in the opposite direction you will be breathing in fresh, lovely Rocky Mountain air.

It was hard to figure out which photos to share, so these are some of my favorite. 

 

St. Louis Red

I've always seemed to match places we've lived with different colors. Washington state was purple, maybe it was all the beautiful flowers planted by my older sister, or because I love purple. Florida is blue, blue because the water and sky were so light, white sandy beaches surrounding the blue ocean which were near our home. England is green, no matter what time of year green is the beautiful backdrop of that island I love so. Missouri (St. Louis) is red, red because though I usually won't wear or buy red things, red are my special visitors that come to our garden and red are the beautiful colors the leaves turn in the Fall. 

Like red bullets with our green backdrop, the cardinal is the star of the show every day in our Chesterfield home.

I'm not sure how, but everyone squirrel we call Squirrel Nutkin.

 

A Foggy Fall Day + Strings

Perhaps its having lived in England for 5 years, but this foggy day was calling me. St. Louis is beautiful, my favorite time are the Spring and Fall, and this year has had its best weather for the entire 2020. These mornings make me so grateful for all our blessings.

These three have really mastered their instruments and I love playing as a family quartet. I never imagined they'd be so good at such a young age, thank you St. Louis and Parkway Central! The biggest shout out goes to our beloved C. McKinney, he's a magician and has worked his musical magic with our family.

 

The Lovely L. is a Senior!

It's hard to believe that this sweet girl is no longer the cute, happy 4th grader we knew in England! She was one of my top violin students. I remember over Thanksgiving both our families happened to go to Euro Disney and happen to bump into each other right there, in Paris! She has grown up, like in a blink of an eye. Let me introduce to you this happy, beautiful Senior! Where has the time gone, please stop!

Nothing can stop this bright and talented young lady, pandemic...pshh....please! Where to next, Missouri State??

A Little Fawn in Our Garden

From time to time we have little fawns come into our fenced back garden and since they are too young to simply jump the fence like the older ones do, they get a little scared when their mama is on the opposite side. This little one was so cute, ran back and forth and then panicked. Luckily it didn't take long to find her mom.

 

S' Homecoming

I think S. has got to be one of the luckiest girls, her friend group is amazing (even though all of them couldn't come tonight). What better than having girl friends for life!
