Carrie and the Koehmstedts

blog title

I was cleaning up my desktop this week and came across my very first blog header, from July 16th, 2007! Back then I was blogging on Blogger (which I still very much love) and was Carrie & the Koehmstedts. That’s my daughter Erin, in the beautiful Pacific Ocean at Newport Beach, back when we were still Californians. I guess we still are at heart.

But “the south” has definitely crept in to us. We yes ma’am and yes sir people now, and I frequently use ‘bless her/his heart’ instead of that *&@#!! idiot. Oh, and where we live I can drive 6 miles to McDonalds and NEVER encounter a traffic light… just 3 stop signs! And, yes, that’s the closest fast food restaurant.

Have a great weekend!

Anolis carolinensis

Lizards will not be a regular feature here, but this guy started doing his thing outside my office window and I couldn’t resist. I had to slowly, oh so very slowly get out on to the front porch and get within a good camera distance – I was so lucky I didn’t scare the little critter half to death. Once he got over me being out there with him it only took a couple more minutes for him to resume his bubble-thing.

Carolina-anole

Apparently, both males and females have a pink throat fan (a.k.a. dewlap), which is used as a means for inter- and intraspecific communication. Lizard was trying to talk to me! I wonder what he was saying? Probably “stop looking at me & get back to work!”

Dogs love sunshine

I got these shots yesterday. Simon & Darla are MIA because they are camera shy. Well, maybe that’s not it, it’s more like they are on my ankles the entire time so it’s hard to get a shot of them… the are very co-dependent.

I love this time of year when the grass is still green and hasn’t been burned up by the summer heat.

Fabulous Font Friday // Marguerite

marguerite font

Marguerite is a newer font over on dafont.com, it debuted Cinco de Mayo, 2013 – OlĂ©!

There a few things that really stand out for me with Marguerite font. First, quite a few of the capital letters overlap other letters, like the F, I, K and L to name a few.

Also, it has a couple of floral dingbats that are really cute and a complete bonus to the set, I used them in the image above.

And, it’s a really pretty handwritten font. And, I love the retro vibe it has.

Another great font for blog headers and post signatures!
