Fresh flowers

I always want to have fresh flowers in my room.
Spring makes this desire stronger.


They look beautiful at first...
And then I realize that they often cause
a runny nose and itchy eyes.


All for the sake of beauty.

First weekend of spring

In order to celebrate the first weekend of Spring,
I made Joe take me to the beach.


It was chilly, but sunny...
in other words, perfect.


Surprisingly, there were a lot of people walking on the boardwalk.









Being at the beach quieted my desire for the summer, just a little bit.

I'm still looking forward to it; to being on the beach with the sand between my toes, walking the boardwalk at night, the ocean just background noise, and dessert from Kohr brothers... delicious!

Kohr Brothers - the perfect cure for sunburn.

Spring has sprung!!

Happy Spring Everyone!!




Although it is not flipflop weather just yet, I am happy to report that everything around here is waking up from its winter rest.


The daffodils and tulips are poking their heads out of the dirt... and my miniature sunflowers are as well!! (Good thing too - I didn't really think that they would become anything.)


So I am going to enjoy the spring weather, and the fact that it is still light out at 6:30 PM.


Now, that's something to be excited about!
