day 62.

i used to think girl scout cookies were over-rated, like i do about a lot of other truly over-rated things.

like twilight! agh.

but, ordering some for myself and waiting the long month it took for them to get here, then eating them in silence while editing photos,

made me realize that they're delightful, and yummy, and perfect.

and they deserve all the ridiculous attention they get.

day 53.

man.

dirty, scruffy, rough & tough , hard working man.

all men need to be this way.

day 48.

and just like that, it's spring.

i love it here.

i wish i could have somehow documented everything i felt at this exact moment. The sound of birds chirping, kids playing. The cool , fresh breeze on my face. the sun warming my skin.

the feel of spring. life starting up again.

february. 60+ degree weather. nope, i'll never leave this town.
