so close

Today was my last day of Saturday school. On Tuesday Lev and I go on vacation. I'm ready!

oh lovely

The cherry blossoms are blooming in Chicago. It is March. Let me repeat that, because I didn't quite believe it the first time I wrote it: the cherry blossoms are blooming in Chicago in March. And the trees outside our front windows are turning green and I am so happy that the weather heard me back in February when I said, "You know what? I think I would like to have only one more month of this city in the cold and gray. Okay?"

The morning, this morning.

Spring at last

We are enjoying eighty-degree weather here in Chicago and have been doing so for the past week. Levy and I were out walking yesterday and we noticed that the trees recently began blooming and blossoming. Sometimes living in the Midwest isn't so bad. (But most of the time we miss the beauty and surroundings of our old coastal lives.)

this is where I'm at today.

Today these slippers came in the mail at work. It seriously took all that I had to not rip off my shoes and wear these the rest of the day.

Housey stuff

Something really important happened this weekend!

And what follows is a picture of a cabinet that seriously took a year for us to make up our minds on. But it's beautiful and Lev and I are glad we finally took the plunge!

And some other pictures.



This reminds me of when you are taking a picture of a dog and it sniffs the lens.
