spring
is so wonderful and perfect.
i always have this toss up with spring and autumn as to which one is my favorite season. it seems whenever one is happening, i always think, now this is my favorite season, but then the other one comes along, and i think, no, this is my favorite.
and although i think i've decided on autumn as my absolute favorite, spring is a close second, and today, especially, is a day to win anyone over. it's a balmy 59 degrees this morning, with a slight breeze, sending the smell of new lilac buds my way.
sun streams onto the porch where i'm sitting.
i woke up early this morning to help gell and spray my brother's hair into a mohawk for "Decades Day" at his school (he decided on the 80s, with his purple skinny jeans, a small, tight t-shirt, miss-match converse all stars, chain necklace, and mohawk). since i don't have work or class until tonight, i got to slip back in bed for a while longer, and then meander downstairs hours after he left for school. i have the house to myself this morning, and it was grapes and toasted almonds for breakfast (in my opinion, grapes basically make the world go round). i'm out on the front porch now. i've spread a blanket on the chipped bue-paint floor, and a compilation of homework, journaling and collaging materials, grape stems, and paints are my company. an art picnic all to myself!
the beginnings of a journal entry...
on another note, i soaked some deliciously dark black beans last night, and am now trying to decide what to make with them. black bean soup? tangerine and black bean salad? black bean chili? or, i could even make black bean brownies!
any other yummy black bean recipe ideas?
