Happy Friday

My life has been a whirlwind between moving, working, and maintaining (some sort of) a social life. One of my good friends sent me this video yesterday and it makes me so happy that I get energy to keep going. Enjoy!

Summer Solstice

Summer is here and I am really enjoying it! Today is the Summer Solstice in the eastern U.S. (or Midwestern, whichever you prefer). The days are sunny, warm, and long while the nights are cool and perfect for sitting outside. 

The summer always allows for beautiful days and amazing evening skies.

Go Solstice!

Moving Bungalows

It is moving time for me. I am not leaving Lexington, but moving from one neighborhood to the next and gaining a roommate (or 3 if you count the dogs).  I am moving to the Kenwick neighborhood which is full of smaller, craftsman style homes built in the early 1930s.

This weekend the Kenwick Neighborhood Association hosted a Bungalow Home Tour. A Bungalow is a smaller, usually one story house, that became very popular post-World War I.

Typical Bungalow in Kenwick

The homes on the tour were either unique in their décor, design, or materials used. Each owner had done a number of renovations and each had a different take on the Bungalow style. It was nice day to stroll through my new neighborhood and the tastes of different people.

This move marks the 6th year chapter of my time in Kentucky and also brings to light a lot of emotions for me. I have enjoyed living here but feel as if my time here is nearing a close. Sometimes I wake up and spend the day feeling jaded (for lack of a better word) towards Lexington and all I have been through here. This move could be a preface for bigger change for me, but that's all speculative now.
