a romp
i wore a romper today for the first time in years. i think they are really cute, but i always consider the bathroom question, and decide against them. this one ended up in my wardrobe by mistake. i grabbed it while rifling quickly through a thrift store rack, thinking it […]
garden update
so we got the first flower bed in. i’m so excited. I’ll have two rows each of annuals and perrenials. the second bed is scheduled to go in next weekend, and I’ll use it for all my bulb plants.
