I think spring is really here this time around. The tree in the backyard is in bloom and the bees are happily feasting. I spent yesterday afternoon outside reading and dozing in the sun. I'm happy, energetic, hopeful. The Florida sun spoiled me and it's hard to endure long, dark winters, but it looks like … Continue reading trees, bees

one word photo challenge: red
First snow, then spring. It was a weird (and beautiful) week in Charlottesville. Looking forward to a warm weekend spent catching up with out-of-town friends.
one word photo challenge: blue + purple
A little behind on the photo challenge, but that's ok. Once again, I failed to take images specific to the weekly colors, but I found a few photos that pass for blue and purple. My first instagram pic was taken after last week's snow; the robins were out in droves, flitting around, eating worms, and … Continue reading one word photo challenge: blue + purple

While he toured the museum, I walked down to the Capitol and strolled through the monument park, taking pictures along the way. The high was 67, the sun was shining, and a breeze pulled lightly … Continue reading instaRichmond

I started to hear of food trucks and live music and talks. Friday night, Daniel told me that he was having an awesome time … Continue reading tom tom founder’s fest
shop update: grunge + union made
I have loved the easy going, boy meets girl quality of early 90s grunge ever since I watched My So-Called Life, so I tend to gravitate toward garments from that brief era whenever I'm sourcing for Water Lily Thrift. I also found a union made pleated skirt in a beautiful royal blue. Clothes are wearable … Continue reading shop update: grunge + union made
on the trail
Spring is here! I went on a long, meandering (physically and conversationally) walk on the Saunders-Monticello Trail with my friends, Kristen and Amy, this afternoon. Parts of the trail were damaged due to Wednesday's aggressive snowfall, so we courageously maneuvered through blocked pathways and locked gates to make it to the end. It's incredible that … Continue reading on the trail
