a yellow day

my dear friend the sun came for a visit yesterday

(a long long awaited visit, i might add)

it blanketed everything

with it's beautiful

*warm*

yellow glow

i decided to celebrate its return

with a bundle of sunflowers

fresh and sweet

from our little farmer's market.

they're just about the happiest flowers on earth

don't you think?

i love the way they capture the sun

and throw it right back at us

laughing with yellow happiness

and although our little visit was short and sweet

(it packed up and left this morning)

the sun left me with just enough sweetness

to last me until our next visit

i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be back again soon

and for

a much longer time, next time..

(don't get me wrong, i love rain

but

it is summer afterall)

wishing you a happy weekend

full of warmth and sunshine

(and if you do see it, please tell it to come back my way for a while)

flowers and friends

{blissful images}

i woke up this morning smiling.

nevermind the cold rain

crazy wind and big dark clouds.

no they didn't bother me or make me want to go back to sleep.

(i actually really do love rain)

it's just that i woke up 

with my head full with visions 

of all the things i'm plotting

and the adventures i'm planning

in the coming months

now that spring is almost here!

{sarah-seven}

oh yes.

so many plans.

and the first thing i'm going to do

is put on a yellow linen sundress the color of sunshine

(just exactly like this one

and the kerchief too, believe me)

and

i'm going to pack a big basket full of food and books 

(and cameras)

and head out

for a picnic.

{abby try again}

for this first little adventure,

i'm not thinking of the kind with lots of people and croquet and horse-shoes..

(those will come later..definitely)

today

i'm thinking of the sweet slow lazy sort

{cori kindred}

the kind with just a few friends

(such as my lovelies featured today..)

 

the kind where we don't really know where we're going

where we just go out and find 

the biggest field of wildflowers..

{serpentine}

and wade out to the very middle..

{abby try again}

spread out a big big blanket..

{cori kindred}

pull out our supplies 

(the most important things first, of course)..

{serpentine}

and just sit.

and

watch butterflies.

let the warm breeze blow

and let spring work its magic.

yep.

that's what i'm going to do.

what have you got planned..

would you like to come along too?
