i love july.  (& it rhymes!)  

 *    *    *
 1} my favorite beach.  2} we watched the fireworks from here last year.   5}  birthday cakes with flowers & friends...my 32nd is coming up on the 21st.   7&8}  fireworks and celebrating 3 years (!) on the 8th. 

 *   *   *  

just looking at these july pictures makes me oh so happy.  it's been a bit of a hectic summer so far... i don't see it getting much easier due to the fact that we are still living out of boxes, an upcoming knee surgery, followed directly with a thesis defense and then (breathing in and out) we move.  yikes.  i'm going to do my best at trying to savor the little bits of summer goodness in between...  
we spent yesterday in the car... driving in the rain.  it was tiring.  and since we had gotten up before 6 am (totally accidently because the clock was set wrong... that's another problem with living in other people's houses....)  AND had a broken muffler, well, that made the trip all the more fun.  when we finally got back to massachusetts, i was planning on popping in here to say hello and posting my {8 reasons} but i completely collapsed when it started getting dark out... i think we were asleep at 9.  the good news is i'm totally refreshed with a good nights sleep. hooray.  

tonight, we'll visit with a good friend who we don't get to see very often because she lives in France... we'll laugh over sangria and pizza here.  other than that, the holiday weekend is looking pretty quiet... just exactly what i need!  my plan is to sit in the garden reading this alongside my stinky dog friend (he got skunked while we were gone!)  but i love him anyway and i'm totally looking forward to it. 

happy holiday weekend to you if you are in the States!  
see you next week!

ps:  i LOVED "away we go"... did you see it too?

i would like some...

ginger cookies
totally random, i know.  just kinda loved the ginger cookies sign.  we were off getting an ice cream cone at a nearby little country store and there it was,  
G INGER  C O O K I E S.  
there will be more of these signs now that all of the farm stands are popping up.  i really love the old wooden "fresh asparagus" signs etc.  
i am blogging today from our "old stomping grounds" of ithaca, ny.  we've been here for a few days so that my husband could finish up some work and so that i could turn in a commissioned painting. (you'll see it soon)  our life is a bit crazy right now to say the least.  we leave here today to go back to massachusetts where we will start looking at apartments and maybe even moving into one.  : )  this is all coinciding with me having my knee surgery, and my husband starting his new job which is currently overlapping with the old one.  (dissertation to finish...) so we are actually looking forward to spending 5 hours in the car today on the way home... it may just be the last 5 hours of peace and quiet for a bit.  
i did have time to visit with friends and get a new haircut while we've been here... so that's a plus. 
don't forget~ {twodays: may} starts tomorrow and friday is sketchbook day!  hooray!  xo, *s
