So I was reading a friends blog yesterday, countrysouth.blogspot.com and she posted where she had taken the Jane Austen Heroine quiz. I got so excited and immediately went to take the quiz. Jane Austen is one of my absolutely favorite authors. How she writes is so intriguing, witty, down to earth, and I feel you can't help but fall in love with her characters. So I had to know what character I would be.

Drum roll please............



I am Elinor Dashwood.



She is one my favorite characters from Jane Austens books. I love how Elinor is kind, loyal, discerning, and respectful and loves deeply even when it causes her great pain. She modest, temperate, and level headed.

I am about to go grab a cup of coffee and go reread Sense and Sensibility now. If you take the quiz comment down below and share who you are as well as your favorite Jane Austen characters.

Strawberry picking and Summer days

Yesterday my family and I went to a local farm, to pick strawberries! It was a beautiful day and thankfully overcast for the majority of the time we were out.  It was an awesome experience to spend time with my family and simply enjoy their company and experience something new with them.

Don't these strawberries look yummy and tantalizing!!

We went late in the season but were very blessed to be able to pick three bucket fulls of ripe strawberries.

One of the three boxes we took home.

 I also found some natural handmade soap which smells absolutely delicious, and 8 homemade liquorice sticks (I ate two before remembering to take a picture of them). Needless to say none of the liquorice made it home.

Scents (L) Raspberry Swirl, (R) Honey Blossom

flavors L to R: peanut butter, boysenberry, orange, key lime boysenberry, and peanut butter
The flavors not pictured: cherry cola and orange.

Summer Days make me feel so alive when I wake up and the sun is there to greet me with a kiss, yes the days are hot and often muggy and humind. But beauty beckons me to come taste and see. I am so excited for the many more Summer adventures that await me.
