Trade you decks...

Natural light, gold leaf

These stars remind me of medieval art.

dinner

(baked felafel with tahini sauce and fresh strawberries)

I'm back.
I'm back to cooking and walking and reading and blogging.
Winter was hard but spring has come.

Organization!

The dinky canvas divider in my closet collapsed (for good) this week. However, I found a sturdy set of shelves at a used furniture store for CHEAP! I may repaint them once it warms up. As for now, I'm quite pleased with my newly organized closet.

I made this pillow for my sister for her birthday.
Pom-poms make anything better.

Huh?

Until this little tune snuck out from my subconscious and into my whistling today, I had completely forgotten that I preformed this song (accompanied with dance moves) for my fifth grade talent show. Whoa.

I'd nap here...

woodland creature pencils

I love this bundle of pencils. However, I know that my child self would have absolutely looooovvved them. I probably would have preserved them in some special chest, only to let them see the light of day every once and awhile when I needed to hold something special.

Who knew?

Who knew that there was such joy to be found in a variety pack of cocoa? Yes, the different flavors were delicious. But in actuality, it was the elaborate daily selection process and my sweet cocoa-makin' father that became a highlight of my Christmas break.

He played for four hours! And then grandma found him leaning against the basketball pole, all tuckered out.

Thanksgiving

If you are going to eat apples...

...eat them on a pretty plate.

Oh, Kate!

Sister, you send the best packages.
They are perfectly timed and I get them on the days when I'm needing some lovin' the most.

Loose Park, fall picnic

!!!!!

Lucky me, our house recently acquired a rebounder! A rebounder is the fancy name for an upscale mini-trampoline. Outside of a few outdoor activities, cardio exercise does not get me excited. But THIS, oh this, thrills me.

A housewarming gift, surprise!
