Weddings are Nice

John and I went to our friends' wedding a couple of weekends ago. Weddings are nice. Beautiful candles and flowers and music and people. Weddings are ESPECIALLY nice when you're not the one planning it.

Don't get me wrong- my wedding ROCKED. It was beautiful, it (amazingly) didn't rain, almost every single person we knew and loved were all in the same room, I got to wear a SPARKLY PRETTY DRESS, someone else did my hair, even though I mistook the horseradish for mashed potatoes and almost burned a hole through my septum the food was awesome, AND I didn't have to make my bed the next day.

All in all it was fab.

However, SHOWING UP to a wedding is also fab and you don't have to worry about ceremonies without tents when you thought there was going to be a tent but it turns out there WILL NOT be a tent so let's cross our fingers and hope for the best otherwise we may end up having the ceremony in the hallway right beside the hotel convenience store under the appreciative stare of Vern the Weird Guy who hangs out at the hotel convenience store.


Will ya just LOOK at those flowers! So gorgeous... could make a girlie-girl out of pretty much anyone!

Camping: Darn Near Perfect

Our 8 hour drive ended up being closer to 11 because we stopped 50 billion times to let the dogs out/eat/humour Shauna and let her get close ups such as this one.

If you look closely at this photo you'll see a dew drop and a wee little ant on this darn near perfect wild rose.

Actually, scratch that. I'd say it IS a "perfect" rose. Anything to do with flowers is pretty much perfect. Besides, a dew drop AND an ant? Those extra 3 hours in the car with one pup this close to chucking kibble and the other one this close to blowing the car up with her gas was totally worth it.

Flowers Are Pretty

Flowers are pretty. See? Even dogs think* so.

* "Think" meaning, "Aw, I think it's so pretty that another dog/person peed/spit/sneezed/threw up right on this flower here."

Tough Little Purple Flowers

We took the dogs for a walk last weekend (here's another pic) and in addition to nearly scorching ourselves and almost getting lost in the forest, we crested an incredible mini-mountain, feeling rather victorious in the effort. The entire space was just a mass of rock face and wind blown grass beaten and dried by the sun. Even though there wasn't one green blade of grass on the entire peak, these beautiful and tireless purple flowers peeked out everywhere, petals stretched out, inviting the wind and the sun to beat down for another day.

Tough little flowers.
