WIWW-to a bbq

April 25, 2012

I had a last minute invite to an evening bbq so I had to throw together an outfit quick! I apparently didn’t have time to dust the mirror. My hair was also looking a mess since I had played softball that day (2 games in ones week=sore muscles!). I did a quick 2 bun kind of thing and it actually turned out alright. Phew! Turns out none of it really mattered all that much since it was rather dark and I highly doubt anyone at the party would have cared anyhow.

Farmer’s Market

April 24, 2012

I love going to the farmer’s market! I really really love it! It has been weeks since I’ve been last so when Walker suggested it on Saturday morning I was so excited! To make things even better the weather was perfect. It had cooled down a bit so I got to wear jeans, a light sweater, and a light scarf. There is something so refreshing about a cool morning. Whenever I go I try and buy from as many different booths as possible. It’s my way of supporting as many vendors as I can, it makes me feel good. I’ve come to know one farmer so well he hugs me whenever he sees me and asks why I’ve been away for so long. (Good question since every weekend I manage to come out I wonder why I hadn’t come back sooner) This was perfect timing I think because strawberries are in season here. Yes!! I’m a berry fanatic and have been since before I could walk. I bough some strawberries and also some strawberry ice cream. I guess I didn’t plan that too well because I forgot we had an errand to run afterward and oh shoot I had to eat all my ice cream before we left. Hahaha! (Well I shared a little with Walker) Check out all my goodies! I love getting home and taking inventory. Now what to cook with all my fresh, local veggies?

Birthday at the Greenbelt

April 23, 2012

The other weekend we went to the greenbelt for my friends birthday gathering. Even though it was an overcast day I was determined to get in the water and show off my new suit! We had a fun time catching tadpoles in all the little pools. I thought they had a crazy swirl pattern on their bellies until I realized it was just their guts. It’s still neat looking. I gave my friend her picnic placemat and we both got to use them for the first time. Our other friend brought his beautiful dog along and I love this picture of her so alert waiting for something to chase after (mostly butterflies).
