1. Cruising to the hardware stores in Talulah. Rolling around corners like an ocean going vessel. Laughing out loud. Happy place.
2. Having the dogs on board. Farley sits sharp and Penelope hunts for crumbs.
3. Haunting the plant sections in the hardware stores and coming home with a new vine or two, cinder blocks, floor mouldings, painters tape…
4. Working on the hippocampus belt buckle! She sits 3/4 finished out in the studio!
5. Hanging the wet laundry to dry.
6. Ten fast miles on foot. Two hours on a yoga mat. 17 cups of tea. Dark chocolate. Popcorn.
7. Olympics. Ice dance, specifically. “I’ve been everywhere man….”
8. A hot bath infused with eucalyptus and Hulu.com.
9. Supporting THIS girl by finally purchasing her album with an iTunes giftcard Mme sent me as a Valentine. Lovelove.
10. Finally, almost getting Christmas presents together for a handful of gals who have been so doggone patient.
11. Nine pairs of Specimen Earrings.
12. Homemade pizza. Spinach salad. Leg warmers.
13. One tall gin & tonic with extra lime.
14. Watching the squirrel tree with Farley on the Idaho State University campus: There’s this tree and it has a hole and every time we walk past it, between five and seven squirrels pour forth from the hole and I always fall down into the frozen grasstips and laugh hysterically.
15. Feathered do-hickies.
16. Transplanting the orchids.
17. Planning to catch up on my blogosphere readings but failing miserably and playing around outside in the sun beneath an Idaho blue sky instead.
18. A Saturday morning sleep in.
19. Ignoring my phone (though that’s not out of the ordinary).
20. Ink and paper and a plan for a silver swan.
Here’s hoping your weekend was swell!
Yee haw,
J
PS Oh no. I just acquired hockey depression…
PPS Just in case you want to witness the amazingness (I wish I was a the gal that made her that earring):
