raspberry chocolate







Spring came!  Actually, summer came!!  Just for a short visit, but it was fantastic.  It may be that that short burst of 80-degree weather spoiled the next few weeks when things dropped down to the 40s... but that's looking into the future; let's not do that here.  It was a beautiful, sun-shining, warm warm day with spring flowers popping open, and kitties and lys running around happily in the outdoors.

no cookies





Oh look, it's another grey dress!

This was a day of much running around... and then sitting at home wishing I were better at planning ahead.  I got it into my head at 11pm that I should make eggnog cookies to bring to the family gathering on Sunday, but found I needed at least one more egg than I had, and couldn't reach my brother to have him pick some up for me (he was later dropped off at our house by a police officer! at 4am! because he had locked himself out of his car. scared me out of my wits, seriously).  But the frantic weekend is over now, and as of today (Tuesday) I have acquired eggs and made cookies.  Hooray!

more winds




It's been very windy the last couple days—yesterday we had a few tornado sirens go off! Fall is a very windy season.

This poor jacket has been in my closet for years, ever since my first visit to Plato's Closet, and this can only be the first or second time I've worn it. I was so overwhelmed and in awe of all the STUFF they had there for so CHEAP, I picked up a couple of rather ridiculous things. Sometimes I know just what to do with a ridiculous piece of clothing,  but sometimes I end up with a floral corduroy jacket and I'm stumped. Today, though, I looked in my closet and that jacket just seemed so sad and unloved that I had to give it a try. Jacket, I do like you even though you are so strange.

The boots, on the other hand, have gotten plenty of wear in the years I've owned them. They were picked up on an impulse during a late-night Meijer run with dorm-mates (who of course only encouraged the purchase), and I've never regretted it. I love them, I love them, I love them! I only wish I had a pair of these boots in every colour of the rainbow!!

(also, because it might be confusing—that's half an apple in my hand, and a purse with a flower-topped pen on my shoulder. I was eating the other half of the apple while I drew this.)
