Day 14: A Sunset, A Captain, & A Game that will be the death of me

I have been playing this game called "Kingdom Rush Frontiers" on my iphone (I finished Kingdom Rush the original game on the PC and found this one in the app store) I have been on this one level for days, it's friggin impossible no matter what I try. I lose almost instantly, it's a pain in my friggin ass, however it's incredibly fun. The challenge makes it worth going back to.

(I DID finally beat it btw, the trick was to use as many archers as possible with some soldiers sprinkled in here or there, I managed to only have 2 people penetrate the "no pass" zone instead of 20)


The day started out dreadful and freezing. It's fall but it's in the low 40's. It was dark and supposed to be raining all day but at work I have no windows so I can never tell (depressing, I know) so I leave work and am greeted by a gorgeous sunset behind the trees in the parking lot.

 

I capped my night off at home by catching up on the latest episode of "Once Upon a Time" (Great show btw) and i love it for it's idea of making these fairy tales we grew up on into human real human beings who have real human problems (with a side of magic) and they humanize them in a way that people can relate too. Anyway, all that aside, I won't lie and say that 99% of the reason I love watching this show is because of a character I NEVER thought I'd ever like from my childhood ideas of him....

But holy shit, can we talk about Captain Hook for a second? He's gorgeous AND he makes me want to cuddle him. I LOVE him and how they made him in the series.

Day 4: A Wedding in New Hampshire

New England is beautiful. There aren't many things to do in Derry or Methuen but I love how pretty everything is. It's cold there too and I love it. Today was the wedding of our friends Trenae and Theon. The ceremony was beautiful, it was at the Methuen Memorial Music Hall in Methuen and the Reception was at a Golf Estate in Derry. We had the best table mates you could ask for at the reception.

This is a view from our hotel before leaving for the wedding. Gorgeous.

The Lovely Couple and the grand venue.

The Organ....Yes, that's an ORGAN. 

My sister and I with the Bride.

My sis and I with the Groom

And lastly, our most excellent table-mates! I loved these guys.

Day 2: I love Autumn

There is something about Autumn in Virginia that makes me feel at peace. The smell of the crisp air, the changing of the leaves, the milder temperatures, the gentle winds. I just love that I get to experience all four seasons to their fullest capacities here. I know a lost of the Mid Eastern states do but I have a spot reserved in my heart specifically for Fall in Virginia. The property management at my job has done a wonderful job at the placement and selection of flowers, shrubbery and trees on the grounds. We are actually hidden by a beautiful creek and woods so it's quite lovely driving in and out every day. Here are some trees in the parking lot of my office building.

 

 

This tree is the most vibrant of them all. It is also my favorite tree for that reason.

I park under these particular trees every day. It serves as a home to about 6 Doves and the green trees in the back hide a Fox's home and to the left of those trees near the creek is the home to a family of deer, 4 of them young males along with their father, an 8 point Buck.

Oh Virginia <3
