You quit dreaming again...

Never stop dreaming.

Too young to hold on, to old to break free and run

Relationships are hard. Hard to find someone who you can be on the same page with. Sometimes they don't work out, and its not for  lack of love. Most of the time, they don't work out and its for the better. But it doesn't make it hurt any less or any less difficult. But that can't make you distrustful of love. Trust in yourself, in a higher power, that it just means you are that much closer to finding the real thing.

Never, ever stop loving.

Let's take this for what it is

First Aid Kit- Our own Pretty Ways

Cause every little thing is gonna be alright

I realize that nearly every other song lately is by the postmarks, but its perfect early summer listening.
Particularly enjoying this Bob Marley cover..

It's in my honey it's in my milk

Just got my copy of Alice Water's newest book, In the Green Kitchen, and as opposed

to her earlier fresh cooking bible, The Art of Simple Food, it is more

technique than recipe based, and perfect for someone like myself

who is not quite at home in the kitchen just yet.

I can't wait to get my hands into it.

we're swimming in the seas we know so well

Some pics from last Saturday's opening at ACME.

Fun, light hearted, female oriented group show

including the incredible drawings by Dawn Clements, whose drawings I first saw in 2010

and large, socially critical, inherently ironic, needleworks from Lisa Borgnes

And finally a small but exemplary group of paintings and collages from

Kim Fisher, Alexa Gerrity, Mary Weatherford, Allison Miller and Margo Victor.

It takes an ocean not to break

I wish I was spending my Cinco de Mayo looking

{and living}

like this...

young and full of running..

Delorean - Stay Close (HD) from Weird Days on Vimeo.

because you named me as your lover, thought I could be anything

Had the day off unexpectedly, and I chose to spend it doing, for the most part, absolutely nothing. I can't even translate how lovely and appreciated it was. Thanks to the gorgeous weather, it meant I was able to break out some of my summer favorites for the first time this season, my huge towel for two (or, just me) my brand new bottle of hawaiian tropic (note the SPF 6, I am getting older) and my floral acrylic glass (perfect for poolside, or my small backyard paradise) filled with fresh strawberry lemonade.. Lovely, lovely day. Summer can't be here soon enough, but in the mean time be appreciative of every single second shared under a warm afternoon sun.

You want to fall in love, someone to fall in love with you
