My Winter Song

As I sit here typing I can see the snow gently falling outside my window. Everything is blanked in white, but still it's beauty pales in compassion to seeing my sister dressed in white, a bride to be. Stunning. Perfect. And happier than she's ever been.

Check back in a day or so and I'll have whole story of how my big sister found 'the dress', that's if I can manage to write it all out without stopping to cry ever 2 or three sentences.

Seeing white everywhere makes me soo sooo soo happy. I love winter and i looove my family too.

Yesterday was VA's Happy First Snow Day!


Happy Wintering to you.

Spontaneous Strawberries

I've hardly been in the mood to blog lately, but this little adventure is a must.

Early Wednesday morning my mom, who usually let's me wake up on my own because she knows I work at night, woke me up asking if I wanted to go pick some strawberries. Because of the sound of her voice and look on her face I knew she was excited and ready to, so I got ready in a jiffy ... then we were off.

I'm always up for spontaneous adventures, and I'm glad my mom took me on one she's been wanting to take. I'm usually the brains behind spontaneous adventures, though now I see I might have gotten that from her. Once we got there we took out our big ole summer hats and headed down to the patch.

First we were assigned a row to help guide us to some yummy berries. But apparently we had the whole patch to ourselves so really it was an "all you could pick" buffet.

The whole field smelt of sweet berries, it was so delightful.

At the end of our adventure me and mom took home a bucket
of strawberries, each ... and a few more pictures for the road.

I have this secret talent of breaking into places ... hehe
so I thought I would try my luck with this barn.

My mom just thought it'd be cute to pose.. hehe

I love mi madre, and our spontaneous strawberry adventure.


Last thing ...

I've not had the luxury of time to sit and sew, but I did manage to whip up a little skirt for myself last week and finally took her out for our little trip. I didn't have a pattern on me, which is always the case so I just played around and TADA! I really wanna make more.. hopefully I can soon.

I'm glad this week is coming to an end,
it's nice to finally have both feet back on solid ground.

Hot hot hot

It's been freakishly hot the past couple of days. It's been higher than 90 degrees since Saturday, crazy talk for April. So I've been spending lots of these days on a hammock soaking up the sun as if it were a hot July day. Hello Tan!!

Meet me by the Cherry Trees!!!

Spring always brings the Cherry Trees to life, and every spring they bloom and grow

turning our city into a sea of pink petals.

Sunday morning Hopie, Sister Dearest,

... Mother and I ventured out into the crisp morning air to frolic in the the presence of these beautiful blossoms.

Leaps of joy.

Oh how lovely are you dearest blossoms!

"Family time" = fun times

Laughter was plenty and oh how pretty were the Cherry Trees.

One of the prettiest Sunday Mornings!

A g who loves Cherry trees!
