goof-a-loof.

this is a great picture that i found recently of my grandparents...they were young & in love & goofy looking - true smiles, laughing eyes and my grandmother has music notes on her shirt.

plus i just had to get in a shot of the lilacs before they rusted from the rain, so i decided to do a totally over the top sun shot with the mason jar to boot! looks like goofy runs in the family :)

dear diary.

O-fficially one of my favorite days of spring...THE LILACS HAVE OPENED! i rushed out before the rain set in to pluck a branch for my room, for my sanity really. lilacs are my happy place, their perfume and plum stained petals bring me back to spring days spent in vermont farmhouses with the windows open and afternoons laying on quilts with best friends. it was bennington where i learned that sometimes picking flowers is enough, sometimes just sitting with your chosen family and letting the minutes pass is all there is. it is may and more than any other time of year, i miss my sweet family, how i wish you were just a walk away.

a little song for my lovelies ejk, sv, dw, am ~
