Ernest shared Work It, and now I’ve been sucked down a Missy Elliott wormhole. Which is a pretty fabulous place to be. Thanks, dude.

Lake a day:

All day, blustery, rainy, chilly. It’s still gorgeous by the lake today - just a bit intimidating, too. Wonder how crazy it will be come wintertime?

Lake a day:

Simply dazzling this morning.

Lake a day:

Tonight the breeze off the lake is so refreshing. I’m spending some essential patio time. And I thought it was high time I took a photo of myself with my lake… Don’t we make a cute couple?

Smooches!

Here’s @joegermuska and I at a DIFFERENT lake, Lake Erie. It’s almost as lovely as my lake. ;)

So freakin’ awesome.

Lake a day:

I’m just chilling’ out on the patio, a stack of reading materials and some waves.

Sometimes I just pinch myself that this is my home. Hurrah!

Lake a day:

All I see is blue.

Lake a day:

Early this morning, the sun was rising fast over the lake, and everything was shimmery and almost blindingly bright. I caught the silhouette of a man reading a book on one of the benches, backdropped with a total glow - the effect was pretty eerie and awesome. The hat makes it, I think.
