taking a break in the sunshine on the porch. in my favourite outfit for the moment - turn-up jeans, flowery dress and sandals.
Hello :) Just coming up for air... Hope you are having a lovely week. I'm keeping a window open to my study desk - the mild breeze, the little birds warbling, the drowsy bumblebee and the sound of dry weather drifting in (I swear sound moves differently in spring - can you hear the dry dusty roads, the warm protected spots, the joy of people and animals, the spaciousness of clear skies?)
It's still crisp and frosty in the mornings though, the air turning chilly as soon as you leave the sunshine, which I'm also happy about. Spring in February is disconcerting, as welcome as it is to my winter-weary heart. The weather will throw us some icy rainfall or overcast weeks before long for sure. Right now I'm just cherishing the clear skies, the warmth and light during the day, the clear starry ceiling when I fall asleep.
the walk-in-the-woods collection is growing
Was considering dropping by this afternoon after work with a bunch of daffodils...to say happy sunshine! good luck with your studies...and the exam on Saturday...and to just give you a hug! Sweet dreams! xx

i just had a pedicure in anticipation of wearing sandals all next week in california. i've been dreaming of warm weather - it's nice to hear that spring-like conditions are close by.
how nice for you that linni is close by - a sister-friend that gets you.
i'm not even going to say good luck for your exams, because i KNOW you're going to shred it up, girl.
just remember the "fair field" of point location is large, and slow and steady always finds the location.
i'll be in your back pocket while you do your exams... if i can do it so can you.
much love. xoxo

I can almost smell the air coming through your window. You should write a book Caroline. I'm serious. Thinking of you and sending lots of positive exam-energy (and a dash of hearts on this "Alla hjärtans dag"). Hugs from Norway.
