quiet day

barefoot on warm wood. a quiet grey sky. outside the branches bounce slightly under the wind but I cannot hear the rustling from indoors. so much time left at the end of the day to face the thoughts that tend to get pushed aside during the day.

it's the small things

the house smells warm...like sweet coffee and fresh cut lilacs.

there are lilacs bundled in antique vases in every room of the house, I carried them in from the blooming trees in my front yard.

we sleep in every morning lately until 9 or 10, occasionally turning to smile at each other and giggle before dipping back into a shallow stream of dreams.

a friend dropped in today to plant flowers in my yard, she was dressed in dirt-coated jeans and quickly took the shovel from my hands and began to unearth a shallow line of dirt. that smell of moist rich soil lifted to our noses as a light rain fell over our shoulders. her little dog sat at my feet whimpering as he stared up at me, leaving little hairs at the hem of my pants, this made me smile so I leaned down to shower him with the palms of my hands.

new photos

I've collected a few more images to add to my antique photo collection during my travels as of late. The majority of them are from northern california, arizona, nevada, the midwest, and upstate new york.

If you've visited before I recommend you starting at the end of the grids and work yourself backwards for the newer images.

springtime can kill you

the new Jolie Holland cd came out in stores 2 days ago...it's very dreamy + delicious! I was so disappointed today to find out that she will be performing 2 shows in San Francisco, now that I've moved to the other side of the country...oh well...what are you gonna do! I've got Ben Lee, Woody Allen, Asylum Street Spankers, James Brown, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to make up for it in the upcoming weeks so I'm not complaining!
