Regarding previous post...

Chris would like to know:
"What does it sound like when doves cry?"

SPRING!

I took a walk around the hood on this gorgeous day and relished in a few of my favorite signs of spring:

-The sweet smell of honeysuckle

-Newly formed cherry blossoms making their first appearance

-The hooting of Doves before dusk

or is it called hoo-ing?....or is it called purring?

What do you call the sound a dove makes?

Yay Spring! *insert side jump heel click*

Ducks, Owls & Clowns?

So I decided to go to Old Time Pottery today after church because I was looking for some sort of mirror and/or medicine cabinet for our newly remodeled downstairs bathroom. As it usually happens, I became easily distracted after walking through the entrance and I ultimately walked out with something very different than what I initially began searching for. This trip my eye zoomed in on some fabric scraps. Oh good! Fabric scraps! Maybe I could fashion some curtains or pillows or something. While scanning the long tables of fabric yardage, I found something so absurdly exciting to me, that I snatched it up right away so nobody else would steal my new found hidden treasure.

What is it, you wonder?

None other than Duck Decoy Fabric



I know, I know, a little weird, but I thought whatever I decided to make with it would make for a good conversation piece...a little fun, a little whimsy...you know.

I immediately called Chris and told him the exciting news and sent him a photo so he could tell me "congratulations" on finding the perfect fabric for our owl themed guest bedroom....maybe we could make it a bird themed room instead!



...sadly, he wasn't excited.

The reason?

Duck are considered to be the "clowns of the bird world".

Really?

I object.

After I came to my senses I put the fabric down and walked away.

Hopefully I won't regret my decision.

Wise Guy

Mommy Alert

For all you new moms out there (technically I'm speaking to the select group of 10 people who read this blog) check out this blog called Dear Baby. It was created by a woman from San Francisco who recently embarked on the incredible journey which is motherhood (so I've heard :) I'm childless and I even like reading it.

She also has another blog called Stay Forever Sunday which is addicting once you get into it. Basically she talks about the adventures of living in San Francisco with her musician husband, and now daughter Everly, and they are SUPER cute!


Enjoy!

Bathroom in disarray

Chris is hoping our bathroom will be finished in 2 weeks.....I'm thinking that's a negative.
