rhubarb patch thoughts.

I've been missing summer a great deal lately. Our first lake trip was confirmed last week, and now everything reminds me of the place. Not like it didn't before, but now I can't even sip an iced coffee or catch the faintest whiff of a neighbour's bonfire without my mind packing up and wandering off to my favourite lake-bound haunts.
And though my mind may wander, for now I'll stay right here. I have the rest of this week to do what I please, mostly - even if that's just pretending it's sundress & sandal & gardening weather (it's not), reading a lot of rookie mag, and painting my fingernails five different shades of blue.

*written yesterday
I could not bring myself to sleep in this morning. And that's not something you'll hear me say often. I crept up the stairs a few minutes ago, only to realise everyone was still asleep, so here I am, literally buried under five or so blankets (i am perpetually cold), writing this on the back of an old biology lab. Investigating the Movement of Water. Works for me. 
Today I am seventeen. And maybe it does feel a bit different. But mostly, it feels just like yesterday - incredibly exciting and a bit terrifying. With shooting my first engagement session in the afternoon and barista training in the evening, today is what I would call a day of firsts. And I think I'm ready.

"rose, i'm feeling older.
courage my love, will make me bolder.
expecting softness, can lead to foolishness.
when i choose my colour, it will be razzle dazzle rose."

little life lessons from spring break

sisters are the best kind of friends || animals make good friends, too || hawaiian music is the perfect soundtrack for long drives || when life hands you lemons, take photos of them || drink lots of water. when it all comes down to it, it's really the best beverage || coral pants make everything more fun || when the weepies are on the radio: turn up the volume and have yourself a little dance party in the car || grampy's oatmeal is pure magic || no need to check the forecast. manitoba weather is truly unpredictable || say yes to colouring books, skipping stones, and parrot shaped kites. you're never too old.
