Well guys, that on and off rain I mentioned has settled here on the coast and we’re getting all day mist with heavier rain falling at times. It’s really lovely and serene. I enjoy rain in the warmer months, it’s so romantic. The gardens turn lush green, and if it’s hot enough, the steam wafts from the streets.

I plan to enjoy it while I can, hot and sticky is waiting for us […]

Paisley and I had a little photo shoot today, and she can really strike a pose. Could the catwalk be next? She does seem to be wondering how she managed to end up on top of the chair, and without a pillow or blanket no less!

She’s here! The sweetest, dreamiest little bundle of fluff, and she is so charming. I hope she doesn’t mind being photographed because there’s no getting out of it around here. Meet Paisley, our 12 week old salt and pepper miniature schnauzer. She has made our home feel lighter in a way. She is soft, gentle, and sweet!
