Passion

26{365} Passion

I have always had a passion for reading, though I haven't had much time to indulge in it lately. This particular set of books, the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, holds a special place in my heart. These are the first books that I remember loving; I was totally and completely engaged in the story. (My secret dream is to live during that time. However, I am quickly reminded of how much I like electricity and running water.) My incredible parents even took me to some of Laura Ingalls Wilder's homes while we were on our family vacations, which made the story come to life for me. I am getting ready to re-read these books as an adult. I can't wait to relive this story and get lost in another time.

 

 

 

 

27{365} Dislike

Folding laundry...ugh. Truthfully, I enjoy almost everything about 'keeping house', but folding laundry is the one thing that I dread.

So, when that thought crosses my mind, I am quick to remind myself how thankful I am that we have clothes to wash, fold, and put away.

 

 

28{365} Sunset

Living in the Southwest, we are usually privy to some phenomenal sunsets. Today, however, was not one of those days. After a few rainy, cloudy days, we didn't have much of a true sunset, but it is hard to not see the beauty in God's creation when you see the mountains. I went to one of the few places on base where there are no buildings or trees blocking the view of the mountains and took these photos.

 

 

The Tucson mountain range to the West.

 

The Santa Catalina mountain range to the North. The haze was so thick, you could not see the tops of the range.

 

 

*Fun fact: You can use the first letters of the mountain ranges surrounding Tucson to spell the word CHRIST.
