in your own backyard...
or...
maybe in your neighbor's front yard...
or the park across the street...
but
close enough to walk to...
that's my point.

on friday,
after complaining about the
yuckiness of the weather
i met up with a best friend for
treats and laughing
(so much laughing...my face hurt)
at a favorite coffee shop.

it started to pour rain
while we were there
but, by the time i got home,
the sun had come out
and the light
was
magical.

i couldn't stop myself...
i was only going to take a couple photos
but ended up being gone for over 2 hours.
it all started with the park at the end of my street...

and yeah...if you live close to me and
have lilacs...i might have been skulking around your
front yard (totally not brave enough to
skulk around someone's BACK yard...)

and then i found myself outside
Holman's Ice Cream Parlour....
and it IS the month of sundaes soooooooo.....

that sundae
was
OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing...

and then i embarrassed myself a little
but practically laying on the ground
in their gardens to take photos of the flowers
BUT I CAN'T HELP MYSELF.

and the stroll ended at the boardwalk
by the water
as the sun was going down
which is when i realized
that the sun was going down
which meant
june bugs
would be coming out
so i pretty much ran-walk the whole way home...

♥ with the Agent Carter series...
So....remember when I said I was going to watch all the
Marvel movies & shows in order of timelines (not release dates)?
Well...I started. I watched Captain America - The 1st Avenger
and really liked it (although I fell asleep at the end of the movie
TWICE and had to re-watch but the lesson to take from that is
that I really cannot stay up past 10 pm. It's pretty much impossible.)

So next on my list was Agent Carter. Who I had never heard of
before the first Captain America movie. And, I will admit, I was a little
dubious...I wasn't sure that I really wanted to commit to 2 seasons of a
show I had never heard of.

But I LOVED it. LOVED it. All caps bold type LOVED it.
And I have totally revived my dream of wanting to be a secret agent
when I grow up (the last time was when I desperately wanted to be Agent 99
from Get Smart).

♥ with this themed book box....all about Anne of Green Gables!!!! :)

♥ with everything about this woman's house and gardens
and now she's building a STUDIO!!!
I know I have posted about her blog before and the
truth is, I will probably post about it again because I am
seriously smitten with everything she shares.

♥ I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS:

♥ And...since we are talking about awesome movies I can't wait for...

♥ and since we are talking about things I can't wait for...THERE WILL BE A WHOLE MONTH OF SUNDAES IN JUNE!! Now...this is a culinary event that I can truly get behind.

Happy long weekend! :) :) :) It's not too early to start eating sundaes, right?
