Spring Flowers/Around the Block

Today I went for a walk around my neighborhood; all the flowers were brightly blooming in the warm sun.

Freshly Chopped, A Fresh Start

So much has happened since my last post here. I've put photography on hold for awhile since recenly planning my August 2010 wedding :)

Spring is here, summer is right around the corner, and I couldn't be happier -

I ♥ Fall

October Snow?!

The other day it was snowing! This is a rare occurence for this time of year in Massachusetts. It was at first raining and then it turned to snow, snowflakes that looked like cotton balls! Luckily, nothing stuck to the ground though because of the wetness from the rain.



Curiousity - (She looks as confused as I was to see snow in October!) 

Then yesterday it was 65 degrees and sunny!

October -

So I know this picture looks like it has nothing to do with Fall, but for some reason I can't help but think of the seasons changing when I look at this photo...maybe its just because my apartment is so cold! (I do prefer cold over hot!)

So, to make this more fun, Can You Guess What This Is?

 

Fall in New England is one of my favorite times...more pictures to come very soon:)

Around the Barn

Last week I visited one of my best friends who lives in St. Augustine, Forida. It is such a beautiful town, I really enjoyed my time there. Here are some pictures from the barn where she keeps her horse and also cares for another horse.





This is Ruby who lives at the barn-

Orzo Pasta Salad

For those end of summer BBQ's or year-round house parties -

 

Cook 1 box Orzo Pasta, drain and let it cool off. Once cooled, add in:

1 can red kidney beans

1 can small black olives

1 red onion (chopped)

Carrots and Celery (chopped)

Cheese, chopped in small squares ( I used Sharp Cheddar but you can add any kind you like)

2 tbsp Olive Oil

1-2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar

 

Mix well! Other ingredients you may wish to add: pepperoni, artichokes, green pepper, tomatoes

 

*Just a tip - add a bit of salad dressing before serving (not more than a couple tablespoons. Italian, Greek or a Vinegarette work well)
