Happy New Year!!!

2012, doesn't it seem weird to type that? Its going to be 12 years since I graduated from high school...12 years??!!! That's as many years as you spend in grade school, well except for you smarty pants people who skipped grades. It makes me feel old, old and kind of freaked out. I worry that I'll blink my eyes and tomorrow I will be 88 years old and wonder where it all went.

Our day so far has been lovely and very restful. Here in Phoenix we enjoyed cloudless skies and 80 degree temperatures. My doors have been open all afternoon to let in the sounds of birds and the smell of oranges and lemons that are starting to come out on the trees. I am glad though that next week will bring cooler weather. I am definitely not ready to start that climb up to 110+.

I'm sure by now everyone knows about and loves Instagram, (hint I just wrote about it yesteryear). I'm not going to lie, I stalk Instagram like I would probably stalk Facebook if I had an account. Today I found a fabulous idea from Miss James @bluebirdvintage. It is 30 days of photos. Since I have lost my desire to take very many pictures in the past couple of months (too much work, worrying about dust in my lens, the sun goes down early etc) I think this just might be the ticket to make me decide to use my camera again, (yay!!!).






































Should be simple enough, right? If you decide to do it on instagram, let me know!!!
