all work and no play


I've been working hard lately on getting those Polaroid prints up and running (my brain feels like fuzz) and took a break yesterday evening. Of course I spent the break taking photos, wandering and weeding in the garden with the cat underfoot, and looking for four-leafed clovers in the lawn.

Which reminds me of my dog walking lately. When they stop to sniff, I stop to look for four-leafed clovers. I tend to be the one still lingering when they tug on the other end of the leash.

I also, amongst the endless errands yesterday (how do errands expand like marshmallows in the microwave?), went to Produce Junction for bananas to freeze for smoothies, and found some amazing purple strawflowers with yellow centers.

And here they are greeting me like little Inca suns.

What have you done lately that's a little bit special for yourself?

i'm totally swooning over this image.

what have i done that is special for myself? good question. yesterday i went to dance class... which turned out to be the best-class-of-my-life. thankful i didn't just stay on the couch like i had wanted to! it really felt like a gift to myself.

now, flowers do sound like a great idea too!

vivienne: I too, sometimes find the hardest things to do are the most rewarding! That's great the class turned out to be so amazing! And flowers do make things brighter. They're like a smile in a vase. :)

It's too funny--- the most special thing I've done for myself lately is take a long, hot shower. No small feat with a baby.

I wanted to leave a comment so I could tell you I started reading 'Journal of Solitude' last night (there's my special thing!) and I love it. Thanks so much for helping me discover the book.

Angela, I love your Day to Day set on flickr. I just left a comment for you on your blog: so glad you like the book!

Kudos on the long, hot shower! :) always a fave of mine too.
