I ♥ Thursday {No. 10}

It's Thursday, thursday...
Okay, I won't go there...
 
Here are just a few things we have been loving/doing for the past few weeks:

First off, let's start with chocolate, because chocolate deserves to come first. Enjoy Life is our favorite brand of chocolate, it's allergen free, so we can all enjoy it!

Second comes books and the library. We love going to the library and diving into a good book, like this one...

"The Watch That Ends The Night" by Allan Wolf is an amazing book we both recently finished. I have to say it is one of the best Titanic books I have read!


The beach, of course! When we went last weekend, the waves were full of jellyfish. Arrg, those jellyfish just float around looking cute and harmless, and when you least expect it, ZAP!

Writing and receiving letters from our long-distance friends is awesome! It makes you feel close, when it seems like you are a million miles away...

Collecting shells has become a fun hobby of ours. You never know what things you will find that have been washed ashore...

And just loving the big state of Texas!


What have you been loving?
So, are you ready for the first day of Summer tomorrow? According to the heat here, we thought it already was Summer!
Blessings,
Layla & Hagen

Video Friday {No.5}

               
It's Friday, and your long promised beach video is finally being posted! Can you believe it?!?
I have to admit I am no videographer... Photography is more my thing, so... yeah...
                


                  

 So, what do you think?

Not to long ago I wrote a poem about the beach and I thought I ought to post it. It matches...

Nautical Peace

Upon the shore I walk,
the gentle breeze with me it talks.
The moist sand between my toes,
I'll never know from whence it comes or goes.
The sound of waves crash in my ears,
the noise, my mind it clears.
More than seldom a shell is found,
just waiting there upon the ground.
The bright sun shines upon my skin,
it soothes me from within. 
As I watch the ocean,
I see its rapid motion.
But suddenly, I notice the sun has just now set.
I realize that night and I have met.
As I walk away, I watch the moon slowly rise,
and it shines upon the tides.
I bid the waves farewell, but just for tonight.
I soon shall return at mornings first light.

Well, how was that? Obviously, poems aren't one of my strengths, but it'll do. ;)

Well, I hope you enjoyed this post!
It feels good to post a video again! 
Blessings, Hagen
