365 photo-a-day::APRIL 2016

still at the 365 photo-a-day challenge for 2016...
here is what i have for april.
i have missed a day or two here and there
but i'm not going to let that stop me..

april was-

burger love and snowfall frustration
amid the first purple crocuses and
the death of prince...
purple docs
and mismatched socks,
yellow tomatoes
and sunset after sunset...

can't wait to see what may brings.

friday i'm in love...

• with spring...with anticipation, with sunshine, with possibility
   
• with this soundtrack...i have it playing in the background of my life a lot lately
   
• with this artist, but especially that subway print
  at the beginning of her website...sigh...
   
• this little bit of truth...and not just because
  i am currently entering the land of silver strands and laugh lines...
  but that definitely helps :)
   
• and speaking of truths...i identified with a lot written here...
   
• this beautiful website makes me want to re-do my house!
   
• and since i seem to be on a truth theme...this is me. 
  this is me to a T.
  wow.
   
  • with this gorgeous new restaurant in my little town...
    and that they hosted an adult coloring night last night
    in conjunction with upstreet craft brewing...
    i don't drink beer but i do like to color...(and maybe a caeser, please?)
    the atmosphere is beautiful...lots to look at...
    wood beams on the bar, high ceilings, part of a car...
    the food smelled delicious (sadly, i had already eaten...but NEXT time!!)
    and great live music!
    AND a good friend to enjoy it all with...even though
    we may have knocked a candle over and subsequently
    set her plastic marker case on fire
    but, really, what i should be drawing your attention to
    is not the fact that we started a fire
    but that we SUCCESSFULLY PUT OUT A FIRE
    therefore possibly saving the lives of many unsuspecting people
    and, quite frankly, the whole city of summerside....
    i mean...who knew what could have happened...
    so really?  heroes.  we are not clumsy coloring geeks...
    we are heroes. 
    (i seem to have gotten off track here.)
     
  • that when i got home last night,
    S was playing purple rain on the guitar...

wordless wednesday

Inspiration from the revision guide

i usually have a lot to say...

about april being national poetry month
but, for some reason, this year
i have barely said boo about it...
i had good intentions
but they seem to have gone as
astray
as my firmly set goal to
be healthy and gain energy
(and really, who am i kidding...
we all know that's code for
"lose weight and fit into my clothes")...

so there is a week of
poetry month
left.

it's not too late.

i am reading
pablo neruda
and thinking about
shades of blue
and how language
can carry you
to a different place,
to a different
frame of mind...
