There wasn’t enough coffee in the world to give me the energy I needed to be “Aunt Bri” to all the kiddos around ☕️🤪 had a fairly enjoyable trip home to PA this past week 🎈🏎️🏁
A large sticker on a gas pump indicates the pump is number 27. 27 is a number associated with my late mother. An aerial view of a cup of coffee with some cold foam and pastel sprinkles. Blue floral plants are seen in the background as the coffee sits in a woman’s lap Hot Wheels monster truck play cars are lined up on a living room floor ready to play. A child crawling across the floor on their knees from retrieving a loose monster truck can be seen in the background Red, orange, blue, black, and yellow balloons of all sizes are strewn about on the floor of an indoor event space. A deflated white bounce house in the background.

Missed the first snow today down in WV since I’m still visiting in PA, but Mike sent me a pic ☃️🌨️❄️
A black barn in a field with a black wood fence and both the barn and field are blanketed with snow. Foot and animal prints and a tire track making a path around the barn can be seen in the snow. A mountain ridge filled with bare trees is seen in the background and a slightly cloudy blue sky can be seen above.

My nephew invited me to his Hot Wheels themed birthday party this weekend, so I tricked out a racecar(d) for him. *vroom vroom* 🏎️ 🛞🚦🏁

An assortment of wood block christmas themed stamps starting from bottom left a mitten with a snowflake, a frame with a wreath in the middle to the right of that, a treehouse with a heart opening and a pine tree branch with a pine cone wrapped around it above those, and holly berries off slightly to the upper right. All sit on a green craft mat. Three different beverages, all being sipped on by one person, all at the same time. Stay hydrated friends. A screenshot of Spotify playing “Go Gina” by SZA. A craft mat with a work in progress handmade christmas card with real hand pressed flowers and various stickers on it. A stack of sticker sheets sit in the background along with stamps, ink pads, scissors, and other various crafting supplies and tools.

I’ve been extremely MIA obsessively working on holiday cards & also getting ready for a trip to PA. Lil’ uneasy about the trip, haven’t been home in a while.

Hope y’all have been hangin’ in! Back to regular scheduled programming shortly.

Here’s a pic I took of my dog.

Love you bye.

A large black lab/german shepherd mix dog aggressively shakes water off of him after taking a swim in the reservoir. Hundreds and thousands of water droplets surround him as he shakes off, and the background is a wooded environment around autumn, so lots of yellow and orange blurs from fallen leaves can be seen behind him.

A dark navy colored somewhat cloudy night sky is seen above a dark green and shadowy black tree lined ridge. The moon is present above the ridge, and light from a garage building shines on the tree framing the left of the scene and a small tree in the middle at the forefront making them a nice bright green.

Current views from our living room & office windows 🤩🍁🪾🌞🍂 the leaves are falling fast so the colors aren’t lasting long, but boy are they beautiful! Hope y’all have been enjoying your halloween weekend 🎃
A living room window with decorative halloween gel clings, and a view of a mix of bright white sycamore tree bark from bare trees and bright yellow and orange leaves of other sycamores in the background. An office window with sheer curtains over part of the left side of the window and a small mini haworthia in a yellow round pot in the sill on the right. Outside bright yellow and orange leaves of sycamores and other trees can be seen towards the top and green brush with fallen yellow and orange leaves mixed in can be seen below.

Before Halloween comes and goes, I wanted to show you the vibes around the house lately 👻🧙🏽‍♀️🎃

#spookyseason #cozyviews #comfycozy #thisishalloween
A window with decorative Halloween window gel clings, garland in the shape of pumpkins, bats, and ghosts hanging across, a stained glass picture hanging in the top left corner, and on the windowsill sits a block calendar with a stuffed witch on top, a black spiderweb underneath, and a floating candle to the left. A ceramic haunted house lit up at night. The house is kind of wonky with a cauldron sitting behind a fence filled with glowing gummy worms and more glowing worms surrounding the house. A gel window cling that reads “Happy Halloween” with two white ghosts and a witch hat in the middle. The flame from a floating water candle can be seen in the reflection of the window, and outside bare tree branches can be seen against an almost night sky. A kitchen window has various plants and a floating water candle lined up on the windowsill and orange pumpkin light garland hanging across. Ghost window gel clings are seen at the top right corner and part of a kitchen sink can be seen towards the bottom of the frame.

A clear bright blue sky is seen above a tree covered mountain ridge of mostly green with peeks of red and yellow throughout. Below the mountain ridge is an open field surrounded by trees the colors of fall: red, yellow, orange, and green. The field is green and shadowy at the forefront, but golden and filled with sunshine towards the middle.

An antique style edit of a bale of hay sitting in a yard covered in smaller hay piles. A line of trees can be seen in the background, a small wood bench in between two trees closer to the hay bale. Lots of shadows and perks of light can be seen in the yard and through the leaves on the trees.

The trees finally look like autumn here in the WV! The weather has caught up as well, we’ve had to kick the heat on a few times this week.

Hope your week has been everything you need it to be so far friend. 🍂🍁

A tree covered mountain ridge off in the distance is seen underneath a sunsetting sky. Clouds streak across the sky with an almost yellow tint from the setting sun nearby, and somewhat bare, autumn colored trees are seen at the forefront. Two chicken breast sit on a lot charcoal grill outside.

Three geese with brown and white bodies and long black necks swim next to each other in a row but angles slightly from one another. Two geese look straight ahead while the third has its head in the water. Tree branches, rocks, and other country creek debris can be seen.

A mix of individuals of all ages, races, and backgrounds are passing through the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C. a group to the right takes photos of the sites, while a group of people behind them casually walk by. Groups in the background are seen walking with children in a stroller, or sitting down on a bench talking. Some of the fountain from the memorial can be seen to the left, and columns of the names of different locations can be seen in the background.

Went with your advice…dumpling soup last night was delightful! ☺️ It’s just the two of us, and we’re not big on leftovers (depends on what it is), so it’s hard to find something different almost every night. Too many choices/variations is definitely a factor, thank goodness it’s soup season lol 🍜🍲

I think nature is #stunning on its own, & my neighbors have the most beautiful pair of pear (hehe) trees that bloom in the spring 🌳 so I ran into the middle of the road so I could share them with y’all for #stunday today 💫🧚🏽‍♂️

#nature #trees #inbloom #natureisart #photographer #sensoryart #shadow
A pair of pear trees in a yard, one right next to the other, both with benches underneath them and both with beautiful white blooms on them. A large front yard with a mailbox and a curved road are seen at the forefront, and a wooded area with trees and mountains make up the background. Trees on either side of the curved road frame the outsides of the photo, creating almost like a tunnel effect.

It was a foggy almost 2am on my front porch. I’m rarely awake at 2am, let alone outside at that hour. But it was a weird night. And I thought this was weirdly cool.

A car with its high beams on driving on a foggy country back road at 2am. The shadows of trees and brush next to the road can be seen in the glow of the two vertical light beams shooting through the middle of the frame. The light is a yellow glow while everything around it is pitch black.
