dear sara,
my tulips bloomed over the weekend, and i was so excited to see yellow! this is the only second year i’ve had the tulips come up, and i couldn’t remember what colors they were… after hunting for yellow over the winter, it’s such a joy to see yellow in nature again.
spring is really here, and life is good.
xo, me

dear sara,
spring is here! in the short span of a week, the grass has turned green, my tulips have forced their way through the ground, my rhubarb and columbine have grown 2 inches, and the chives are sweet in a simple salad. after such an agonizing wait, it is spring, and i want to savor every minute of it. i hope spring has found salt lake city, too.
xo, me

march’s word was abundance.
jen: a welcome sight
me: my favorite wine shop, the wine thief
april’s word is birthday.
dear sara,
as i write this, it is snowing, and the wind is whipping through the streets of saint paul, rattling my windows, and the temperature dropped 10 degrees in under an hour. major interstates north of the twin cities are closed, due to blizzard conditions. so we, sadly, are very far from spring. but that doesn’t stop me from hoping! last weekend, i went to payless and picked up some yellow, strappy, heeled sandals. for 23 bucks! and if dancing around inside my house, wrapped in blankets, but wearing my new sandals is the only way i’ll feel springy, well, then i’ll just keep dancing around!
xo, me
…..
stirrings: a collaboration with sara of ibbyskibby in salt lake city. we are sending each other photos of the first signs of spring, which comes a lot later here.
