Memories of Summer

I was looking through some old photos from this summer and wanted to share my favourites... summer definitely ended too soon and now it's cold and dark and not sunny any more!

My Backyard ♥

My backyard is one of my favourite places to go when I need to relax or take a breath of fresh air, or get some inspiration, or to sit and eat a popsicle on a hot day!

Even though we've been having a really dry summer so far, the potted flower plants are still in bloom even though the grass is as dry as ever. Tomorrow is the day of the week where the city allows us to water our lawn... I keep on telling mum that she needs to buy a sprinkler but she hasn't gotten one yet! It would save me having to stand outside in the prickly grass for an hour or so☺

Things with me have been busy the past week so that would explain my absence for not posting, but I get home around 3:30 and then I usually have chores and other misc things to do (like watching more episodes of NCIS LA with my boyfriend - I'll admit it, he's got me hooked!) But I was able to get outside yesterday while photographing my pastel macaroon/houndstooth manicure to show you some of the flowers in the potted plants and the favourite part of my backyard, my waterfall!

Ridiculous Summer Weather + Rambly Bits

So, this morning I woke up at 5:00am to my surprise... and it wasn't like a slow wakening kind of thing, it was a BAM I'm wide awake! I ended up staying up for two hours after that and watching the sunrise from my window... and also pulling on one of my boyfriend's sweaters because I had my window wide open so the cool morning air could come in - it was a little too cold for me under my sheets however!

Mail Anticipation!

This week I am waiting for two very important items to come in the mail... a package from my sister and the 2012 Collection of nail plates from BundleMonster, which I ordered on the 30th of June and I got the email that they were shipped on Monday, so they should be here soon - but I'm not sure how long it takes a package from Hawaii to ship to Canada!
