summer sounds

gloomy sunday

We had an awesome, low key weekend. I kind of love the days when there is really nothing to do but whatever sounds good. There's been a crazy heat wave for weeks and the rain finally came on Sunday. It was that light, steady rain that just cools down the air..we threw open every window. Chilly days in the summer are my favorite! The rain curbed our plans of a little day trip to Grafton for the riverside flea market,hummingbird festival(!), and blackberry picking..sounds awesome right?! We stayed in town instead and pretended like we were on vacation.

 Homemade gooey butter cake..The best. The recipe's from high school home ec, my favorite class.(grandma Betty's plates)

Fresh picks-this is what I normally strive for when thrifting: 60's florals,sweet flats,anything tooled,cute/pretty glass things &

enamel brooches! These are kind of hard to find lately so it's extra exciting.

60's scrabble..original owners notebook

Most of the time was spent outside on the deck being our future old people selves. An entire game of scrabble,coffee,little sandwiches, animal friends..it was perfection. To be fair we played the loose rules edition..

honey peanut butter+strawberry jam

 Zizi's getting back to her feisty self, she had a sick spell and made me worry like crazy. I love this sweet girl. We took her in a few years ago and she's had my heart ever since Luke plopped her rumpled self down on our bed. She's the creepiest/cutest thing I've ever seen..her profile is so sinister. And she has this weird little goatee. My tiny bearded lady. I want to restore the eaves on our 1860's house with little gargoyles of her haha

Gave myself some fresh fringe/color. Such a weird in-between stage, all I want to do in this heat is throw it in a tiny ponytail. Growing it out from a pixie is tough!

Happy Tuesday!

hark!

hang me up to dry

I'd be more inclined to do my laundry if it looked like this all of the time! haha The only good thing about this dry, scorching heat is the lightening speed line drying. Summer sun laundry just smells the best.

We have this little brick area between the carriage house and deck that is the perfect hidden spot for a clothes line..and globe lights,courtesy of Luke. I took a solo trip last spring to hang with my oldest friend in Charleston and came back to a clean house and these strung up! What a guy.

Kitty rescuer..zizi loves to be with us in the yard but likes to explore a bit too far haha

It was his golden birthday yesterday, 29 on the 29th! 

We hung out in the air conditioning watching whatever he wanted..

I know I can't be the only one who gets sucked into watching adventure time and regular show?! Lumpy space princess kills me.

♪ It's summertime and you know what that means ♪

it's been in my head for months..haha

Baxter dug around in the dirt and plants on the deck this morning while I was watering the garden and had himself a munch of lettuce..followed by a bath!

I adore his little acorn nose

It's so hot here..like over 100 degrees. Record breaking temps! I'm a winter baby, Fall is my comfort level! It was 108 on Thursday and is forecasted to be in the hundreds for at least a week straight. My glob. I'll be inside doin my spring..er summer cleaning and watching ridiculous tv shows. After exhausting all of my options on netflix instant I clicked my way onto pretty little liars..it's too much, I kind of love it. I just wanna know who A is! haha I'm 1/2 watching while cleaning my room, it's like I'm a teenager all over again. Kind of.

Stay cool!
