{spring things: april showers}

"Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain."

~author unknown

. . . happily, there have been more sunny days than rain so far this spring, but there are no illusions that the rain will not fall, {for it is april, after all}, only the eternal optimism of may flowers . . . and when the rain does come, we shall greet it with red lipstick and our best umbrellas, and dance if we must . . .

{a new month + magic in the air}

. . . wind-tousled hair and sun-drenched cafés, long pleated skirts and daffodils, coral lip gloss and brighter skies, and most of all, that irresistible, unmistakable, all-encompassing excitement that spring is on its way . . .

happy march! wishing you a month filled with sunlit happiness,

{have a lovely weekend}

. . . soon it will be sunny afternoons on red sandy beaches and summer evenings dancing in the moonlight; but for now, it's the weekend and nearly spring, and much delighted by the thought of slowing things down, just a little, even if only for a few lovely & languorous days . . .

have a beautiful, beautiful weekend, everyone!
