aiyana has been growing a garden filled with so many fresh vegetables and beautiful flowers. it's so fun to see her as excited as a child... it's her first garden!

i spent my sunday morning reading in bed with my kitten curled up in the slice of morning sunshine that spread across the covers. now, i'm off to help my sister unpack and decorate her new apartment! it's so nice to have her living just a short walk down the road from me.

(ph: cocorosie finally came out with new stuff. only 2 years late.)

so, why is it so hard to find a job in this large city?

either way, i am glad summer is finally here. i am excited to be spending it working alongside my favourite prof on all things involving medieval art. aiyana teases that i am hermione granger. i'm just head over heels inlove with my major is all!
lately i've been baking a lot and listening to the hippy music i grew up with. i've also been reading a lot of favourite hand-me-down books that my dear mother has passed on to me. i feel like a 20 year-old version of my mommy and it makes me miss her very much <3
