Blog Tour: Following Evan by Elida May

Here's a wonderful book to add to your summer reading list! It's called Following Evan by Elida May. You can read an excerpt and find out all about it below!



 
 Summary


Three years on from the sudden death of her husband Matt and a subsequent miscarriage, interior designer Laura is still lost in grief, hiding out in the smart London townhouse that was going to be her family home. On the encouragement of her best friend Carla, she signs up to a dating website and receives a message from a mysterious stranger, imploring her to visit him in New York because he has seen her face in his dreams.

Meanwhile, Laura visits an art gallery and is captivated by a painting of a beautiful woman in a flowing dress. It seems to be speaking directly to her, beckoning her to take a leap of faith.

These seemingly disparate events lead Laura on an epic journey to the bustling streets of the Big Apple and the desert landscape of Wyoming, where the clues to her future happiness are waiting to be discovered…

Happy Friday


I took this picture a few days ago out in our backyard. The rose was peeking into the window so I went outside to get a closer look. It was so beautiful as you can see. I'm glad that I could capture this beautiful rose at this moment in time and share it here.

Happy Friday and happy weekend wherever you are! :)

A Pineapple, the Weekend, and Backyards


My weekend was good. The weather got really nice and sunny yesterday, so I loved that. I've REALLY come to appreciate sunny days since I've been living here in England :)

As you can see in the photo above, we have ourselves a pineapple here at the Yellow House...maybe it's the warmer weather or maybe it's that I need to eat more fruit or it's a bit of both...I vote for a bit of both. I don't eat really lousy, but I can definitely do better, so this pineapple is my mascot for eating more fruit. I'm publishing its picture here before it gets eaten, so that whenever I need to be reminded to eat my fruit and vegetables more, I can come here and remind myself ;-)

Also, I took the photo below this morning when the sunlight was so nice. This is in our backyard. I love the sunlight coming through the trees in the morning. I took the picture with my phone so it's not sharply focused at all (my phone camera isn't great)...but I thought that I'd share it anyway just to let you see what my morning looked like.



Happy New Week!

Happy June

I'm a day behind because of the Bank Holiday/Memorial Day weekend holiday. Today feels like Tuesday instead of Wednesday, but I'm not complaining. It just means that the weekend is that much closer. Woo hoo! I can't believe it's June already.

Here are some photos that I took over the weekend with my phone through the windshield of our car. Don't worry, I wasn't driving :) They're rather fuzzy, but I thought that I'd share them here anyway because I love sharing snaps of the countryside out here in Wiltshire. The intensely blue sky in the upper photo is just the effect of the windshield.




This second one was taken on the same day, but the clouds were starting to roll in at this point. I liked how moody it looked along this road with the tree striking its elegant pose. No one needs me to say it, but I'm gonna say the obvious anyway...nature creates some beautiful scenes.


It was a great weekend. I look forward to sharing other photos from time to time. Wiltshire is a lovely place and it reminds me of where I come from back in Georgia. I hope that you'll visit me again to see what else I have to share :)

HAPPY JUNE!!!
