Bits of April

Flowers inside and out. The tulips in the top left pic just popped up in the middle of the yard one day, no idea how that happened. Pink and white blossoms on trees in my favorite park. And brooches I made.

Weather that made no sense as evidenced by these outfits. We went from winter, to spring, to summer, and back to spring all in one week. (Btw, wearing shorts in April is just unnatural.)

We bought some cute pots and a watering can at IKEA. Went shopping for house plants and ordered seeds for the yard (sunflowers and herbs to start). And cleaned up the yard a lot. We finally dug up the remaining concrete supports left from the previous owner's garden shed (and by "we" I mean Peter obvi), and we found some treasures buried nearby, like this handmade turtle. It has the name "Thara" carved on the underside and reminds me so much of sweet things I made in elementary school. We are keeping it, of course.

Easter candy treats when I was sick...actually still sick mostly. Took a walk on a sunny day. I don't know if you can see clearly in the photo but i love when stoops have these cutouts underneath, like a little tunnel. The prettiest pouch I ordered from Ayla. And I love the light and shadows that come into the living room/dining room late in the day.

We're hoping to get a lot of stuff done on the house in May, so stay tuned. :)
