Tonal Tuesday: dusty daydreams

These colors are for laying in fields & braiding flower crowns in vintage dresses. Wistful, a little dusty & worn but beautiful nonetheless.

Friday5: Week 6.
Early birdie. & an at home Friday shot. Due to technical difficulties, our St. Louis trip was delayed by several hours which means no night driving but early morning daylight driving which I much prefer. Even if we do have to get up earlyearly. Vroom vroom. Hope you all have lovely, lovely weekends.

• My bicycle & her makeover. New handlebars. New grip tape. New brake levers & cables. New stem. New fenders. New tires (not rims). She’s so happy. Thank you, Dennis! Your handiwork is much appreciated.
• Shandy!. Omg— so tasty & delicious & the perfect complement to a freezepop in this hideously hot weather.
• Though the weather is horrid right now, downright steamy & uncomfortable; I can’t help but think & appreciate it. In the winter, I trudge through the snow and slush and sleet, cursing the weather and dreaming of beaches. But really, I would rather pile on the sweaters in the freezing cold than peel everything off and not find a drop of relief. The heat doesn’t usually last for long here; or least, not to me. I can’t imagine Texas right now. I’d sweat myself right out of my brain.
• My little (18 year-old) sister has taken a shine to knitting! I cannot express how excited I am about this.
• Ballpoint pen drawings. They remind me of highschool & Jenny. I’m also finding that my favorite ones to write with are not the ones I like drawing with. The pens I would consider “crappy” are the best drawing utensils. They’re kind of dry, I guess? They make shading easier, I think.
• Today is my Friday! Driving to St. Louis tonight to visit the in-laws for the weekend. Vroom.

Tonal Tuesday: float on a dream

Saccharine sweet & childish dreaming. Cotton candy, blue skies, green grass, yellow sun & vanilla ice cream. Children’s stories with happy endings. Perfect nursery rhyme color scheme.

ooh…headers!

Friday5: Week 5.
friday5 for the 5th week. Huzzah! happy friday!

I love this town. Even if the weather has been more like Seattle.

Things I Love Thursday

What’s making me fall in love this week?

• Chicago. Always.
• The few rare days that I’ve been able to bicycle to work. The weather has been sooo rainy so I treasure the days I actually get to ride.
• Baby toes! (also the baby they’re attached to: Baby Gus! Welcome to Planet Earth & congratulations to the Family Schroeder)
• Iguana Café breakfast. Tasty, tasty coffee & breakfast sandwiches which make my mornings using public transit just fine. Just fine indeed. Oh! & smiling staff. Anyone who can smile in the morning hours gets a thumbs up from me!
• i can read lots of typography. Usually nicely designed & heartstring twanging.
