my sweetest little girl turned four.

she is the brightest part of us.

my ride

there are those moments when a color catches your eye and you instantly fall in love. and you think to yourself, if this bus picked me up and took me to work everyday... i'd be the happiest girl! it was the most amazing faded pea green charteuse and it just made me grin from ear to ear.

second hunt

garlic turkey burgers, homemade baked beans, roasted asparagus and brussel sprouts, yellow tomatoes, french olives and iced raspberry lemonade.

still on my mind. it was so yummy. i would have been a good gatherer.
