My mom grows the most crazy awesome flowers in the front yard. I love wildflowers and the variety she plants makes it feel mountainy and wild.

This owl is from a print I got as part of my autumn/Halloween decorating. He gives the room a great Edgar Allan Poe vibe.

This project was so awesome and the finished product adds so much interest to my living room. I Mod Podged book pages onto a plain white canvas et voila! Instant art.

I love decorating for fall! These candles were so fun to make.

day 9: faceless self-portrait.

day 7: something new.

Fall boots. These little babies go to just below my knee. I love them!

I could also say my something new came in the form of a young man, but we're not quite ready for that yet....cough. Maybe soon.

(And no, Father Spirit Bear, you don't know him, so stop thinking what I know you're thinking!)

day 6: childhood memory.

This building on State Street just before South Temple used to house the Hansen Planetarium. My first time there was on a field trip in second grade. We ate our little lunches at Liberty Park (I remember drinking a Kool-Aid Squeezer) and then headed over to the planetarium. It totally blew my mind. When I first saw the space suit there was a little twinge in my heart and I knew this was a forever love. And that was before we even got into the planetarium itself for the star show.

The Hansen Planetarium was mysterious and old, kind of like space itself. The Clark Planetarium at the Gateway is cool and all, in a super-shiny, SPACE IS AWESOME DUDES kind of way, but Hansen will always hold a special place in my heart for first introducing me to space in its quiet yet compelling way.

Here is a photo, not mine, of how I remember it:

(Little did I know I'd be working in that big white building just behind it. Kinda crazy.)

day 5: someone i love.

Our family cat, Dinter. He is truly a Viking.

day 4: favorite color.

Green!

day 3: clouds.

I was extremely lucky to get this shot: Today was, no joke, The Day No Clouds Existed. I searched for one since I woke up early this morning to the time the sun went down. The elusive bit of atmosphere you see here peeked out from behind the mountains while we were driving to my grandpa's birthday party. I felt privileged to see it indeed.



---------------

Second of all, I want to say thanks to Cub for such a perfect day. Our favorite walk around the neighborhood, mind-blowing brunch at Mimi's Cafe, gorgeous just-barely-fall weather, awesome consignment shop finds, fun fall home decorating...it was like being in a fantastical, real life dream of wonder and Celestial glory. I'm only sorry it had to end.

day 2: what i wore.

day 1: self portrait.

This is how I see myself the most--hair up, makeup off, comfy shirt on. Yay for after work rituals.
