Every so often, I’ll pop up to the roof deck to relax and quiet my mind in the evenings. Tonight, I saw a beautiful flower, silhouetted by one of the upward facing lights.
I liked it, I photographed it, and now you get to see it.

For my birthday last year, I’d wanted an Ice Cream Cake. Capitalized, because I freaking love Ice Cream Cakes.
We didn’t get a chance to make one, unfortunately, and so instead we made one for Valentine’s Day!
Oreo crust (since we couldn’t find graham crackers)
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream (capitalized because I love it)
Chocolate crumbles for the middle
Vanilla ice cream for the top
Sprinkles for color!
And seriously… It was so good. I savored it for nearly a month, I think, making each slice last.

I’d hiked Mt. Brandon the day before… And today, I was a bit tired. So I went on a hike.
I mean, okay. Let’s be honest here – it was a hike, but not like a HIKE, hike. It was a lovely long walk on the beach. A nearby beach that reminded me beautifully of Cannon Beach in Oregon, with the waves of grasses and the infinite sky reflected in the wet sand…
It was just so beautiful, I can’t even.
So I’ll show off photos, and be proud and happy in the memory.
Also, look at me go! Remembering to actually post the hiking tracks from that app that I pay for and barely use!
