and it's time...

...for Brimfield!  

oh. 

I so can't wait.

(so much so that I'm pulling back pictures from previous trips to this junk-mecca!)

 

(and yes, I'm talking about the Brimfield Antiques Show, held in lovely Brimfield, MA three times a year)

it's a crazy, beautiful life...

...isn't it?

and isn't spring the most beautiful, yet crazy season?

the stale winter air is being blown away by fresh breezes.  

flowers are starting to scent the air.  

isn't it just amazing, the rebirth that spring brings with it?

i can't tell you how happy i am to finally see these lovelies blooming in my yard.

nothing more says "spring" as much as crocus and dafs blooming.

and that early spring weather?
ugh.
can't decide if it's warm or cold out.
 we alternate from being able to walk to the bus stop,

to driving there;
to playing in the yard,

to huddling up inside,
to trying new outside toys.

one day we'll be donning rain gear and sloshing about,
and the next going to Little League Opening Day.

that #4?  mine!

ah well, that's what spring is about, right?
transitions.

meanwhile, between normal and crazy, i'm working my haunches off for a few spring shows.

what are you doing to celebrate this crazy, beautiful life?

focus on life week 12

it's been a week or three since I've been able to participate in Sally's Focus on Life.  since I'm a girl who looks at life and enjoys the curves it brings to us, this is a fitting prompt for me.  so here's what I've been focusing on this week, observing the curve...

my work.  turns out it's full of curves.  

i guess i'm really not an angles and straight lines typa person.  ;)  

i've also been observing the curves found in my precious children's faces....

...whether they're taking funky selfies of themselves...

...or finding awesome treasures on walks.

what curves have you been finding in your lives lately?  please share with Sally and everyone!
