rhubarb patch thoughts.

4.25.2012

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.

  10. so beautiful, abbey. I miss summer (I'm already sad thinking about next September!), but at the same time I'm a little apprehensive of what it might be like...our family has been through a million changes, and I know it's not going to be like any summer I've ever lived through before.

  11. I'm desperate for sunshine. But sundresses, rookie and nail polish are here and I am happy.

  15. lately it seems like summer is just out of reach, right at my fingertips! i'm with you on the trips -- the thought of spending time with my family at the beach just makes the longing worse.
    love that second picture -- beautiful!
