i wanted to tell you....

about the walk i took yesterday
after it rained
and the sun came out
and the light was all golden hour-y
and how i was just going to
take some photos in the yard
but then saw the tree across the street
with all its pretty in pink blossoms
but then...wait a minute, look at the entrance to the park
i'll just walk down that far...
but then i remembered there were lilacs
a little further
and two hours, one sundae and 237 photos later
i was fast walking
to get home before the june bugs
came out....

i was going to tell you about that today
and show you pictures
but...the sun is out...
and the camera battery
is charged
and i think i am just going to have to go
for a drive...
messy hair and all.

hello, saturday.
:)

friday i'm in love....

it's a cold gray friday...
i have the day off but
don't really feel like "adventuring".

instead
i think i am going to hunker down
with blogs and books,
paintbrushes and markers,
paper and pen
for most of the day
and meet a friend for coffee & treats
at samuel's this afternoon.

i heard a rumor that the sun might come out tomorrow.
so...maybe a saturday adventure instead?
are lilacs even out yet?  I was sure I saw some in Charlottetown
but I haven't seen any here yet!

there's no rule that it HAS to be a friday adventure.
(and, even if there was...I make the rules soooooooo...)
heh.

here are some things that have caught my eye this week though :)

♥  look at these doughnuts! 

♥  someday i will have a greenhouse...

♥  i want to write like this....

♥  i like this idea.....

♥  i didn't watch mr rogers...he must have been on cable...and i was
totally a mr dressup and sesame street kinda girl but i really do want to
watch this....

♥  and ok.  i know i have already bugged you about this on my blog & facebook
and if you are lucky/unlucky enough to know me in real life,
i have likely bugged you about it there, too.
BUT THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD.
will someone else PLEASE watch it so that i have someone
to say "i KNOOOOOOOW!" when i say "that show is SO GOOD!"
AND i love the soundtrack.

"you should never tell a psychopath they are a pyschopath.
it upsets them."

sometimes...

you just feel like
chocolate-y chai tea
and
big warm sweater....

whatcha readin'? {2018::book 14 - goal 24}

I have had this book
on my list for a long time
and have finally read it.

I am not going to lie.
It was not a quick read.
It was not an easy read.
It was sad and scary and infuriating
and, at times, incomprehensible
that such things are really going on
in this world
in this day...

But it was also inspiring
and interesting and poignant.

It was interesting to see the parallels
drawn between fiction and life,
life as fiction....wishing fiction to be life...
as helpless as I felt reading it,
I also felt amazed by the author's tenacity
and bravery.

It wasn't quick
and it wasn't easy
but
it should be read.
