new things around here

summer is a time of new! or it's a time of discovering the old that was piled under snow and a mountain of winter toques. either way, time to embrace it. if you haven't been already. and why haven't you been already?

one new thing i like to do is sit on the lawn in shafts of light. it feels very religious. so far when i say 'hello lord' no one says anything but one of these days someone will and the voice will sound sensitive, musical, slightly feminine yet powerful and i will say I KNEW IT.

new shirt! robynn got me this and three others for my birthday and i love them all. one of the other one's has a frowning cloud on it that says 'i make it rain' which makes me feel like an x-man. also x-men should write out their powers on a t-shirt so i'm not asking jeremy 'what power does that one have?' every five minutes of the movie.

new summer snack! this is from a cooking magazine that jeremy found and it's very light and summery and delicious. the middle white part is yogurt and feta cheese and you dip cucumbers into it and munch-o-crunch-o away.

mmm, summer tastes goooood.

new picture wall, (on the floor). all mismatched frames with mismatched pictures and there's a perfect wall spot for it to happen and this weekend it's happening! it's all happening!

it's smart to do them on the floor first so you don't make your neighbours crazy with a nail relocation program.

the mug photo is a photo of a mug jeremy took when he lived in japan. that's a japanese mug!

also there's something else a little special in there that maybe only steph perkins will be able to spot.

new hedge down the road. jeremy wants to take photos of this every time we walk by it so we can document its growth. maybe one day when it's big we'll go to its graduation and at the reception show its friends embarrassing photos of all its awkward stages.

this orchid isn't new but the hundred new blooms each week are. we get a lot of light in our new place and even when we close the curtains it just comes blasting in and the orchid LOVES it.

i'm not so sure how to care for these and it was my understanding they're sorta difficult but i am doing nothing with this guy and he's soon going to grow into a little e-wok village.

not new either. but special and still on my window sill. x

NEW OLD NEW OLD it's like that grover sketch, near and far. that was my favourite. so catchy.
