summertime

it's been quiet around here, but we've been busy ...

- getting out our old fan for those hot, energy-sapping days

- finding an old school desk for $5 at the great glebe garage sale. with a fresh coat of white paint, it'll be just right in our little kitchen.

- eating fresh corn on the cob and grilled salmon burgers. i want to make pickles. and raspberry buckle.

- combing yard sales and vintage shops for treasures and making new ones for my shop

- watching the first thunderstorm of summer last night from a friend's porch, with wind-whipped trees and thunderclaps that sneak up on you and make you jump. awesome.

- wearing my hair up into a loose bun and feeling the soft cool breeze on my neck

- soon we will lie on the grass and watch moonlit movies

- and the smell of a little reefer madness just wafted in through our windows...

yep. it's summertime.
