Maybe it's my Irish heritage or the fact that I don't like hot weather but I love cloudy days. I like sweaters, jeans, boots, scarves, hoodies and layers. I do not own a single sundress or a pair of shorts. I love mist, fog, moss and lush greenery. I think I could be perfectly at home in the Pacific Northwest. I live in Texas though, which is the land of the sun for sure, the very hot sun. For a few perfect months right before and right after the difficult summer we do have beautiful weather. We get amazing springy days and some very nice cloudy ones too.
We have some property about an hour and a half from our house. Right now it is just a beautiful piece of property without a house but Steven has been hard at work planning a future house. A few weeks ago, on a perfectly beautiful cloudy day, we stomped around "the farm" (as we call it despite the fact that there are no animals there) and tried to pick the perfect spot for the future house. We even picked a spot for the boy's future treehouse too. The house will look out onto this pond.
Sayer shares my love for hoodies but, unlike me, the hood always has to be up and it has to be completely zipped up too.
Picking the perfect spot...
One of the boys' favorite things to do is tackle their Daddy.
A little collage from the day.
So, what about you? What is in your heart on this Love Thursday?

We secretly desire 40 acres of property to build a house, a studio, a school house, and have a large garden that I'm sure I'll hardly work in because of bugs. But we want a little (ok, big!) escape from city life.

I definitely want to have a "farm" someday. I just have to decide if I do in fact love clouds enough to stay in the PNW. I like them a little bit more when they are less frequent. You're always welcome up here in Seattle if you need your cloud fix!
