sequins and dandelion

I wish I was dressed this well - at the last indoor farmer's market last Saturday

party at Birch Point Farm

my awesome farmer friends threw a party at their organic farm

the party was out in an old barn, and they played music throgh this old organ.  The organ doesn't work, but they use it as a speaker

classic soul!

angry headgear

Awesome angry birds hat at last Saturday's farmers market

batty

At the indoor farmers market, there is a take one/leave one book box, where I picked up The Bats of Texas

It has great information and photos like this one of the spectacular Hoary Bat, which reminds me of General Ackbar from Star Wars

coconut supreme

I love everything about these candy bars - color, taste, packaging - they really ARE supreme!

goodnight Licky

Licky died yesterday after being very sick for the past few weeks.  She was a beautiful, gentle bunny and we will miss her a lot.  

comfortable

Mabel has come such a long way from the fragile, senior cat who wouldn't come out of the basement the first two years she lived with me.  Here she is curled up on my lap on the couch.

break dancing

Summer music 2015

Got tickets to see Robert Plant June 20

Judas Priest July 15th - you know you're jealous

and Earth, Wind & Fire August 26th - they're opening for Chicago, but I am only attending to see EWF - one of my favorite groups of all time

what if

who needs a cheese cave when you've got a karaoke cave?  I wonder what the cheese would taste like if I aged it in there?  Definitely Purple Rain, with notes of Thinking Out Loud

dress and bra

Thrift haul from last week: beautiful shirt dress and brand new, unworn, expensive bra with tags still on it.  How does stuff like this end up in a thrift shop for $1.99?

priority

this year's eggs

I love to dye Easter eggs

it starts the day right

my morning DTL from Cozy

25 years

This Easter Sunday, April 5th, was my 25th year eating a vegetarian diet.  It is one of things I am most dedicated to, and most proud of in my life.

dream

In my dream last night, I was swimming in a large, public swimming pool that had no windows.  I also realized that I was swimming with my white cheese muck boots on, and that they were filled with water so very hard to swim with.  I also thought that because I was in a pool, it will clean the boots off, but when I looked down they still looked dirty.

A young man at the edge of the pool threw an empty Pop Tart box into the water - chocolate frosted flavor - and I swam over and tried to kick the box out of the water, but my boots were so heavy I couldn't do it.

Doctor, what does this mean?

like a boss

very strong microfashion game at this past Saturday's farmer's market

A Greenpeace sailor was on the subway with this awesome hoodie on - I took a picture of him and thanked him for what they do - Greenpeace Forever!
