Enjoying the small stuff

Yes, I know, I fell off the NaBloPoMo wagon in the past week- HARD. There's a big lump on my rump from the fall. Did you know that sometimes you will write a post for an hour- a post with more links than a charm bracelet- and then Typepad will just EAT it when you attempt to post it? It's happened to me twice in the last month. It makes me very angry at naughty, post gobbling Typepad, so I decide to not speak to it for a few days and then I start to forget and come around again.

It's just been so gorgeous here this week, that I'm besides myself with the niceness of it all.

Here are some highlights:

Celebrating Sweets birthday with a trip to Philadelphia for Cuban food and the Kate Nash show.

Woodchuck cider on tap at the Trocadero.

My dogwood tree is going to bloom any day now. I think I'll de-ribbon the wish tree over the weekend.

Helping my neighbor look for her lost cat.

Watching the grass along the parkway being mowed and smelling it's fragrance waft through my car's windows.

Spending a glorious day in Brooklyn with M.Heart traipsing through Greenwood Cemetery, the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and tracking down THE BEST pizza at Di Fara's. Then spending the evening with Talulah sipping margaritas and walking along South Street Seaport admiring the twinkling bridges and ships. A full day spent with a new friend and an old one is an excellent combination.

Making homemade yogurt. This makes me ridiculously puffed up with pride.

Magnolias and lilacs and cherries, oh my!!!

Putting on sunblock and getting out in the sunshine.

Taking a quick walk in the afternoon and a quick rest in the sun before going back upstairs to work.

Wearing a dress.

Grey's Anatomy came back.

Thoughts of collaborations on several projects.

Planning a little road trip.

Ohhhh Woodchuck cider is good! I had a bottle when I was in Chicago and you've brought back memories of a great day :-)

What a great list! And the name Tallulah is so pretty, isn't it? It's right up there with Magnolia in prettiness. I had a fun day with you today, Rachel! Thank you so much for coming over. :)
