The Smell of Warm Summer Air

I woke up to a morning not laced with a chill for the first time in what seems like ages. Not that I want summer to rush, I just want spring for a bit. That lovely balance where bare legs and a light jacket work.

I heard on the NPR the other day that Radiohead did a 20th anniversary release of OK Computer, an album I've loved for all of those years (okay, probably 18 of them, which still makes me feel old) and thanks to a slightly clearer image of the blurry intersection featured on the cover some dedicated fans discovered it was actually I-91 and I-84 in Hartford. Which I thought was pretty awesome, to think that Connecticut is there, on that album I love so much. Just wish they would still play Connecticut when they toured these days!

Each day I do everything I can to draw positive energy into my life.

I took a little unintentional four day blog weekend, as the days have been full and my energy levels have been a bit low lately. I wish I could say it was a restful weekend, but alas it was quite the contrary.

The only reason I'm even making this post happen is because these photos are from a few weeks ago and I had the post layed out, but I just kept pushing it back for one reason or another - which is silly as it's got both blooms and Chloe, two things which will always bring a smile to my face!

Heartbreaker

Thanks to Soft Comfort for sponsoring this post!

It may be spring, but my booties are not getting packed away because it is still so chilly out! To be fair they've been taking a backseat for many blog posts because I was getting tired of seeing my same two pairs, however Soft Comfort recently sent me over a pair of their adorable 'Heartbreaker' booties, which pair a low heel with memory foam insoles for lots of comfort, as well as some gold zipper detailing to make brown booties feel fresh and fun again.

I'm not sure what's going on this spring, it just does not seem to want to get warm and stay warm. I've made Sean take my hibiscus plants outside, then back in, about five times because they can't be out when it's lower than 50°. Some logical part of my brain is trying to tell me to embrace it and enjoy layering, but I promise I will not be aching to wear my wool blazers and cardigans until August when I feel like I've exhausted all my warm weather options.
