Beautiful World: Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone!  No matter what today means to you, I hope it has been pleasant.  I hope it was filled with caring people and exhilaration for the future.

I thought today about how excited  I am for the summer.  It's the first summer in five years when I haven't had to move somewhere.  I'm not writing final papers and throwing things in boxes simultaneously.  That feels great.  I'm also getting to spend it, all of it, with my fantastic boyfriend.  Last but not least, I'll be doing an awesome internship for a local historic house.  Legitimate experience in the field of my choice feels good.  I can't wait!

P.S.  Does anyone know what this tree is called?  I love it.  One day, I want to plant one in my yard.  Or seven.

Beautiful World: Tenacious Violets

This spring is probably the most beautiful spring I have ever seen.  Just sayin'.  The East Coast knows its business.  There are flowers everywhere, even in between sidewalk bricks.  

Enjoy the spring lovely people!
