Summer's here and the time is right...

Happy first day of summer, doves! (And if it's not summer where you are... Happy Tuesday!)

I hope every one is enjoying the official start of summer! Go outside! Have an iced coffee or a lemonade or a beer! Go swimming! Climb a tree! Frolic! And if it's raining go play in the rain!

Shorts, t-shirt, messy ponytail, and bare feet. Hello, summer!



Please excuse the bug bite and my wonky double-jointed arm! These things happen.

Can I say summer one more time in this post? Summer!


Okay, now I'm switching gears for a second...

The title of this post is from "Racing in the Streets" by Bruce Springsteen. I'm a Jersey girl. I love my Bruce and I love my E-Street Band. And neither would be complete without the legendary talent and energy of Clarence Clemons. I had just finished watching fireworks down at the lake on Saturday evening when I learned of his passing. It's always strange when a musical legend passes... In my head they're all still kids. I wasn't there to see it all happen so when I watch the documentaries and listen to the albums, there they are, forever young. That's how I saw him in life and that's how I'm going to remember him. Rest in peace, Big Man.

I'm going to go have a drink to celebrate summer and life and music. Cheers!

I ain't comin' down. No, never, I'm not!

Hi! Apologies for such light posting lately. Life has been (more than) a wee bit hectic!

After catching Amanda Shires's shows in Philly and New York (Wonderful! Go listen to her!) I spent the first weekend of June in Vermont. It's been five years since I was there last! I love it up there. I don't know if I could handle the winters but it really is gorgeous. The whole drive home I had Loretta Lynn's "High on a Mountain Top" playing in my head.

What else? Last weekend my boyfriend completed his first triathlon! He did a fantastic job, and I'm super proud of him. I spent the weekend a bit sick and with no voice so that's pretty much it. I've been trying to get school stuff straightened out. I'll be putting a portfolio together this weekend and hopefully signing up for classes soon. After some thought I think I've decided to go for my MFA in web design. Quite exciting and overwhelming!

I love this outfit. It's perfect for hot, humid days. The top is very light and cool. I'm probably going to wind up wearing it quite often this summer.

I hope you're all having a great week so far!

Hi! I know I've been a terrible blogger of late but I've been so busy! In the past week I've been to Philly, New York, and Vermont. I was also accepted into art school! So I'm slowly getting all of that situated.




I'm home now, though, and I'll be back with a real post later todaysoon.
