Sometimes I have to shut the windows
 and doors. It's allergy season! 
I have to take allergy medicine every day.
Today my friend told me that she heard, it's more windy in Dallas than in Chicago.
I believe it.

...watch day begin to hatch to yellow...from book Arcadia by Lauren Groff


all nature photos  taken by my guy
...flowers spread on the ground like small open mouths,
 purple bells, white stars with golden hearts...from book Arcadia by Lauren Groff

...The trees whisper among themselves...from book Arcadia by Lauren Groff

...into a love song, voices broken and beautiful.
The song rises and infiltrates the city and wakes the inhabitants, one by one, from their oven dark dreams, and all across the island, people sit up in bed to listen to it lap around them, an ocean of kindness...from book Arcadia by Lauren Groff

    Totally intrigued by your painting your earrings.
    Were they metal and what did you paint them with?

    I like those fun poses and I think it's awesome when bloggers sometimes offer something fun to their readers. I also like the fact your outfit is thrifted, or most of it is but still a lot! you look lovely, Teddi :)

    maybe i already mentioned this to you, but i once heard a rumor that if you eat a spoonful of home-grown honey from your state every day, that that helps with allergies. you know because of the whole bee/pollen thing. i tried it with my son, but he got really sick of eating honey every day!
