Yummy pretty-colored cookies. Sugar and a cute color palette? You’ve won my heart.

It was time.
We were past the grey—past the calm and soft, past smiling and nodding, and past waiting. It was time to launch. Go supernova.

The house was quiet in the morning but a silent flurry of preparation had begun. Alice had decided and there was no stopping, no hesitation; she just jumped out the window and flew away into her future, full of shiny promise and warm whispers.

Agnes was distracted, staring out the window from her desk. She should have been working. Instead she was dreaming of summer afternoons, lemonade & macarons; frilly skirts, picnics and shaved ice. She was a billion miles away when the phone rang, instantly snapping her drifting, floaty brain-cloud back into her skull and the mid-morning drudgery of another conference call.

Sorry for the delay! I am just a wee bit off my game this week. <3

The rabbit had been busy all day; slaving over a hot oven in her tiny apron which was covered with flour & frosting. All Miss Chloe had to show for the day of work were all these delicious cupcakes. She really hoped her new neighbor, a handsome duck named Pato liked carrot cake.

Someday summer would return. Bright colors, ice cream cones and children running wild, the long days would come again.
