blanket lounging

hope your summer is filled with moments of laying on your back looking up at the sky through leaves.
hope you had a great fourth.
have a great rest of the weekend.

fairies
every time I pass this this little tree mound on my walks with the little one all I can think of is fairies.
and for some reason summer makes me think of fairies. Maybe it's because I could read about fairies during summer vacation.

do boys believe in fairies?
{I totally believed in fairies.}
I guess they would have to otherwise you wouldn't have things like LOTR or dungeons & dragons.
{which in extreme cases lead to this}
the super extreme fans {the trekkies & ringers} totally fasinate me.

as I was walking back to the house this morning, the squirrels were out in force and not so sure about me walking through the park and not on the designated human paths. so they tried to intimidate me. This little guy kept coming at me standing tall, while another squirrel shook the tree branches above me. I moved on.

good morning everyone.
 

walks in the park when the sun begins to set.

who knew the little one would be like a celebrity when we walk in the park
people whisper & try to get a peek of you in the sling as we walk by.

you have started making your own talking sounds which is really amazing 

summer means:
birthdays in the park

are those that are born in june the only ones that call themselves june babies?
i mean do people born in march say they are march babies - doesn't quite flow, but do they?
happy birthday to all those that are born in june. {me included!}

Right now I can't get much any painting done - even thought the ideas & there - there are a couple of different series that I am really excited about tackling. Until I get the time I wanted to give myself another project. A photo project with my fancy new camera. {much thanks to my grandparents and the little one's grandparents for the funds!}

Since it is summer {well almost anyways} what could be better than a summer project. So hopefully once a week {you can cross your fingers, but don't hold your breath} I'll have a photo that for me says summer. Maybe I'll talk about it, maybe now so much, but that's my goal. And I'm excited.

The it's it is quite possibly my most favorite treat. Its is an ice cream cookie with a chocolate covering. The originals have vanilla ice cream, but I am pretty sure they have mint chip & chocolate now too.

I remember having them for the first time as a child at a picnic day for the university in Davis. I remember it being sunny and warm and being in a big park. And the it's it brings it back. I am pretty sure I didn't have them again until I was an adult. I want to say I was visiting Kacey in San Francisco {the home of the it's it} when I saw it in a little corner bodega. And everytime I visit her I have one, usually as we are walking back to the car from some sort of meal. I have been looking for a source in la since I moved here. A couple of weeks ago I found them. Good thing I am burning lots of calories making the breastmilk. Because they really are as good as I remember.

& have you seen sandra's knights?
