Here are five things that caught my attention lately:

1. this empty space

because it's filled with possibility.

2. this boring and sagging addition

because it's about to get a face lift.

3. this fabric

because it was once curtains, a slip cover and now napkins.

4. this sedum

because it signals a shift in the season.

5. this infusion

because cucumber, lime, mint and ice water = refreshing.

Noticed elsewhere:

how to make fun of nazis.

wonderful story telling.

beautiful bedding.

channeling michael jackson, maybe?

bathe and meditate.

As a parent, I questioned why I taught her to be so polite.
