"all of these soft, warm nights going to waste when i ought to be lying in your arms under the moon - the dearest arms in all the world- darling arms that i love so to feel around me - how much longer before they'll be here to stay? when i do get home again, you'll certainly have a most awful time ever moving one inch from me" -zelda to scott, 1919

hope you all had a fabulous monday. isn't it great when it thunderstorms during the day and then is absolutely gorgeous around 4:30? i think i would have at least one day a week like this if i could. a great start to the week.

sending smiles your way...

it's just been a happy day!

friday night of bubble bath followed by red wine and the great gatsby because its a chilly may night and i've had a busy week. also a very special moment with belle who may not have much time left with me, i sat and pet her as she slept and cried with her because i just can't imagine walking through the door and not seeing her laying in her bed. sometimes i forget how important dogs are in our lives, how she sees me through everything whether or not she knows it. and it kind of hit me just how old and tired she really is. and maybe the whole year is starting to hit me, the year thats been a good year, but a hard year. and maybe i just needed to let it all go on her, because she just listens, thats what shes always done since she was mine as a puppy. forever thankful for dogs and the love they give.
