Yawn, stretch, throw on some pants and back to it.
But it’s taking a whole lot of will power to get up and go. It’s just too perfect out to do much of anything. Is it weird that I love this cold and rainy weather? These are the days that I can spend all day in a ball of blankets on the couch next to a window looking out with hot beverages and good books.. I will get there soon, but not today. We started tiling the bathroom wall yesterday and need to finish it, along with he rest of the house.
This week flew by fast. It included a very quick foliage drive(stopped by a river so the mr could fly fish), Barbara turning 17 while watching her field hockey game, a tiny little baby that fell in love with me and wants me to be it’s new mommy, and the scraping and painting of so much everything. I think the highlight was when the 17 year old Barb stopped by the house to bring us coffee, hung out with us, and lent me her sweater that I love but probably won’t ever get a chance to wear cause all I wear are grubby, paint stained clothes. But none the less, it was great and maybe I’ll just wear the sweater to bed. And the colors. Every time I walk out of the house and see all the trees, all the colors…it just blows my mind. So good.
Other then that, not much else. I am giving myself a political detox for a few days before i barf, eating lots of roasted celeriac and missing my kitchen. I can’t freaking wait to spend all day cooking in baking in my kitchen. I can’t freakin wait!
And now I got to find those pants.

Vermont in the fall is like living in a world that is on fire… not literally, but the trees, all the colors. It’s freaking crazy amazing and no matter how many years I have lived here (all my life) I still am in awe of of the beautifulness of it all.
Being the good Vermonters that we are, the mr and I have taken to the road a couple times for some leaf pepping. We pack a picnic lunch, a few layers of clothes, get in the car and fallow the color. The music goes on(or NPR), a little bit of heat blowing from the dash, and settle in for an adventure. I bring my camera and he brings his fishing pole (just in case) Sometime we find a nice hiking trail, or sometimes we stay in the car cause it’s pouring rain and freezing out. We always stop somewhere and get ourselves big hot cups of coffee and maybe stop at a quaint antique store (or salvation army) along the way. We also like to find our dream homes in the cuties little towns nestled in the valleys between the mountains all on fire. (someday!) It’s just so much lovely and nice. I can never get enough.
Ah Vermont… I love you.
So needless to say, I have taken a crap-load of pictures over the past couple weeks. I figured I would share a few of my favorites.
Enjoy, and if you live where the trees turn, go watch.. it’s freaking fantastic!
Hey there party people…It’s Sunday! Hopefully you all have some good plans for the day. Me, well I have a peanut butter and jelly lunch date at the park with some littles, a butt load of plants to stick into the ground, and hopefully drinking much to much coffee while basking in the glow of the very lovely world. (which has been on point all week with warm weather, sunny days, splashed with the perfect moments of rain) Everything is so green and lush and freshy, it’s hard to not to be full of happy and the feeling that anything is possible. It’s fantastical! Oh, and I got to give a shout out to my big sister for graduating from nursing school this week…Whoa HOO!!!!! (Does she realize she is from a family of hypochondriacs? Texting nurse Shannon……she is screwed.)
Summer here we come…It’s GO TIME!

What a week. Was it summer where you are this week as well? I mean jeez, talk about one extreme to another. Oh well, at least the world has turned green, the winter stuff is completely out of sight and I found the box that contained all of my shorts and summery clothes (pants and long sleeves in 90 degrees is just gross) And honestly, it’s been great. In between work, chores and just plan old being busy, we have manage to get a few bike rides and long walks in. Plus all the veggie starts are doing great, the flowers are coming up everywhere and life just has a little bit more of a relaxed feeling. So what if my allergies are turning my face into big red puff or that the past few night have been so hot that the act of sitting has caused me to break a sweat. I’ll take it.
Oh and I can’t forget….
Happy Mother’s Day ladies!!!!
