Smells like...

The other day I was told I smelled like the sun. I kind of liked the thought of that. It gave me images of a sun goddess or something equally ridiculous. Also, it is very summer-y today (AKA 90 degrees out) so here are some bloom-filled pictures for you.



By the way, I'm leaving for the weekend so I won't be posting again until at least Wednesday. Enjoy the long weekend!

May Day

The first day of May is something BIG. It is hyacinths blooming, getting the boat out of the barn, wearing flowery dresses, replenishing the sandal stock, and laying out in the sun with some good tunes. I refuse to define spring with school work, but it majorly drags to sit inside, typing essays, instead of hiking. Spring is twice as good as fall. My favorite season has changed. After the bleakest of winters, there is nothing more satisfying than coming back from April vacation to 70 degree weather and plenty of sun to get a terrible burn.
While warm weather has returned, this week has been a bother, and I'm glad it's almost over. The voice of Joey Ryan has kept me going. Here's his single California which has been on repeat since Monday afternoon.



I almost forgot! You can download this song free from his myspace.

April Showers...

It's the third day of April, and it's rained for the past three days I believe. So, with some of my free time (weekend, woohoo!) I took some picta pictas, because that's how I do.

Spring? Are you here?

It certainly feels that way. Yesterday, I walked to Carolyn's house in shorts and Uggs, only feeling slightly ridiculous with the notion that I was wearing shorts in February. Today, coming out of class, coats, gloves and scarves weren't even necessary. It must be at least 40 degrees out there. Snow is melting. Grass, peeking out from under their heavy icy blankets saying hi. Hyacinths blooming. Wednesday's a predicted high of 54 and rainy. Will it last?
