"...amidst the simple beauty of nature."

"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature." -Anne Frank

roads, and skies, and the oxford comma, and good music

I love long stretches of road.  with flatlands and rolling hills and haybales.  and crystal clear blue skies and puffy white clouds. I love driving with endless road and picturesque views and good music.

and, because blogger is randomly removing google friend connect, I made a Bloglovin' account. I actually don't like bloglovin', but since it's my only way of keeping up with lovely blogs, I caved in and made an account. if you can't live without my blog updates (kidding), feel free to follow my ole' blog via bloglovin'.

(oh and please forgive this really random, disorganized post)

lovely evenings

Yesterday I spent a lovely evening reading Mansfield Park by the pool.  It was marvelous.

How are your favorite evenings spent? Any good reads lately?
