firsts

By now, you're probably noticing something new. I'm so uber excited about the amazing work Olivia has done around here! Its my first time having someone remodel this little blog of mine. It took a lot of courage and procrastination for me to finally admit to doing this, I have been debating it for a long time now. Honestly, it turned out to be better than the pictures inside my head. What do you think?

Yesterday I made tomato soup completely from scratch. It may not seem to be an accomplishment to some, but it is for a girl like me {who can barely take edible ingredients, put them together, and have an outcome which is still edible}. The deep red piece of fruit waited in the kitchen windowsill for days, and finally at its ripening peak, I diced and blended it. Adding cream, onions, herbs from the garden, and a dash of sea salt - I heated it to perfection. Its taste was so satisfying, but creating a delicious dish that is nutritious and entirely basic is a reward in itself.

I recieved two precious objects a while back; a fisheye and a pentax camera. This is my first experience with film and I'm anxious to develop the rolls. It feels so right to be branching out in my photography journey. I've found that film has slowly disappeared, making room for the era of digital. There's something about doing things the original way though, something sentimental and nostalgic.

The ground is slowly being scattered with fall colors. Leaves golden and surrender to gravity - painting a spotted masterpiece against the dark piles of last years' leaves. Soon the rakes will be searched for amonst the clutter of lawn tools, brought out and for the first time be put to work, building towers of foliation to be

jumped into.
p.s. I thought that while my blog has changed so rapidly, I might as well throw in another little surprise...you now know my real name.
