yep. it's really nice here.

whenever people come to visit me, they always have the same reaction…..'it's so nice here.'  

yep. it's really nice here. 

i've always enjoyed the fact that i live in a place that people day-trip to and make weekends out of visiting. they come to escape the chaos and enjoy nature and be warmed by the small town friendly atmosphere.  

after a long winter…. it was nice to be able to take a walk on a warm afternoon to check out how high the river rose from the major rainfall. our dog, bailey, loooovvveees the water (which is no surprise since she was originally rescued by the cayman islands humane society and then transferred to pets alive in ny in hopes of finding a forever home after waiting quite some time). we also learned that she loves fetching sticks in the water. 

bailey… enjoying a stick by the edge of the river...

the rainfall makes for a neat change in landscape...

we have our very own natural tarzan swing….

you can get some serious height...

bailey… lovin' the water!

yep… it's really nice here….

abby & mike

if you are going to get married in the winter months, you've got to be a laid back, go-with-the-flow type as you never know what mother nature will bring. we've had a cold and snowy winter, but fortunately abby and mike didn't have to deal with a crazy snowstorm on their wedding day at the westmount country club. while it was quite cold, abby and mike were total troopers hanging outside to get some pictures….

love this...

  

i stopped to check in on mike for a couple of minutes...

so pretty...

while it was good that we weren't in the middle of some crazy, wet snowstorm…i did appreciate having a fresh coat of snow on the ground….

the sun was trying it's best to peek out...

love these smiles...

a few shots in the warmth of the westmount...

 love...

love the genuine smiles...

hah!

 a very sweet first dance...

no idea what these guys were singing, but it was entertaining...

lots of cutie pies at abby and mike's wedding...

tea ceremony...
