Pine trees remind me that I'm home. I used think they were ugly. Now not so much.

Willows have always been a favorite of mine. I took this picture standing under the one that has taken over my Dad's yard.

There are people working on the water heater right now and it stinks like birthday candles in here.

I went camping this past weekend.

It was fun and bizarre.

What did you do for Memorial day?

This year the local strawberries have been something to write home about.

My brother could barely stay still with this lady bug speed crawling up his arm.

I have caught the home decorating bug.

I'm making color schemes for rooms and picking out decor.

I love this list.

That hazy, green sheen today is neither fog or smog, it is pollen.

My options are allergy shots or the beach.

Road trip!

to the dogs or whoever

Dear summer,

I miss you and your hot damn attitude.

I miss your drenching humidity.

It seems charming now that it is absent.

The arctic chill seems to have lifted.

It has been exceptionally warm for the middle of January.

But! I still can't go without leggings or bras.

I can't go jump in the ocean.

So stop teasing me winter.

Be consistent and hurry up with summer already.

Been having a lot of adventures lately.

Kicking my sewing machine's arse too.

Found a delirium tremens shirt in goodwill.

How is your january going?

the ever so lovely puppy my family adopted, on Christmas.

so over winter.

I do love cider though.

in a medium sauce pan:

heat 1 cinnamon stick with spiced cider or apple juice and spiced rum.

add 1 shot spiced rum for every 8oz of juice.

voila
