Year Two

traffic

This was our fifth trip out and we will never get used to it taking 30+ minutes to travel a half mile.

blooming

Deep in the city, Boston was beautifully in bloom, what a gorgeous view our girl had, you can almost see her waving from the 2nd floor! HI chachi  ♥

MFA

Touring around .. such architecture

buildboston

we will never get used to a city with so much packed into the tiniest of spaces.

stormy

It went from 94ºF in Northampton (HELLO WEBS!) to right around 55ºF on the coast south of Boston. “Winds in the east, mist coming in, like something is brewing about to begin.”

Midwesternskies

While we may never fully get used to thick city air, bustling city streets or the organized disorder, it is slowly becoming comfortably familiar with less and less swears with each trip!

Another year notched in, we are 3 in tow, homeward towards Midwestern skies, flat lands and reliable quiet ♥

spring web

Lace like webs, limey yellow color, wool dotted with specks of pink glass.

Never having used beads in my knits before .. now it’s all I want!

Vintage flower corsage (bought at auction) delicate handwritten note pinned to the backside “Ruth’s from her Cotillion Ball, she made it herself”.

So sweet, thanks Ruth ♥

 I should hope to feel every bit as grand, wearing it. ❤

I love the creamy pages of stinky old books, I love the speckled oats in creamy homemade soap, I love creamy hued photos.

P.S. In actuality I’m so very rosy. ♥
