~snow angels~

 

 

 

...as i peered out my window this morning

the grey, cloudless sky
seemed to delight in flitting down more snow

yes ~

MORE

 of that fluffy white stuff

i seem to ONLY desire at christmas time!

 

 i am *definitely* more of a beach kinda girl:)

 

so as i anxiously wait upon springs arrival ~

1 week from now

YEA!!!

 i will be sharing my farewell to winter today

 

i give you

 

 ~snow angels~

 

 

 

 

you may count yourself fortunate

if you were to ever see...

 

 

 

 

a pair of divine snow angels

as lovely as these...

 

 

 

 

...i spied them gliding upon crystallized frozen water droplets

 

 

 

 

sprinkling their delightful, ethereal magic

as they trudged through the snow...

so i grabbed my camera

and followed them awhile

for there were things that i wanted to know!

 

 

 

 

it was then that they revealed that

sometimes they grow weary

and need a restful day

so they head out into the wide open fields ~

 

 

 

 

their most favorite place to play!

 

 

 

 

and i found that if you ask them

ever so nicely

they may "pose" in a photo for you

 

 

 

 

for who wouldn't want to catch a glimpse

of something so rare

 

 

 

 

as lovely as these snow angels

with ringlets of fine, spun hair?!

 

 

 

 

of course you may have to bribe them

with a snow angel treat

... or two

 

 

 

 

oh joy!

i just happened to have on hand

a plate of meringue snowflakes

and homemade smores ~

perhaps that would do?!

 

 

 

 

 with glistening eyes

and much to my surprise,

they assured me that their answer was

YES!

 

 

 

 

i stepped back with a wondrous heart

and tried to take it all in...

 

 

 

 

it has been such a magical day...

 

 

 

 

for there is nothing quite like a big grin

 from such delicate creatures

 beaming from within...

 

 

 

 

and as we bid our adieus ~

 they turned to walk away,

 

 

 

 

i whispered my gratitude to those lovely snow angels,

that i caught a glimpse of that day.

 

 

the end.

 

i hope you enjoy seeing snow angels today:)

...lovely laundry

...hello my dears!

i can't believe that summer is almost half over

i start to panic when i see the school supplies appearing on the shelves 

and i'm thinking,

noooo!!

w-a-i-t

i'm just getting into the groove of these lazy, hazy days!

and before you've even gotten around to your pink lemonade slushy

it's fall!!

as i imagine you are all

 SICK

of hearing about my drama

(ME TOO!!)

i thought i'd share a light an airy post today

hahahha

one H~O~T day last week,

i stopped into Target to get my mind off stuffs

and to see what was new

as i hadn't been there for a while

as i was walking back to the yoga ware

(gotta have cute comfiness when pretzel bending!)

 these summertime beachy shorts called out to me instead

yep ~

they called out my name

hey,

hey Rosemary

look at us over here!

as i said,

it was melty HOT

and i may have been delirious

anyhoo,

there were only two lonely pairs dangling there

a white pair

and a stonewashed denim pair

the white pair happened to be my size

(that never happens!) 

((lucky me!!))

i tried them on

and said yes please!

sorry yoga ware,

summer cuteness wins the day 

they were soooo comfy

lightweight and double stretch

perfect for summertime

i searched all the other Target's in my area

to find the blue denim one too

 only to find that they were such a hot item

they were mostly sold out everywhere

but that didn't stop me

i went on line and ordered them!!

now girls

denim never goes out of style

and i'm pretty sure cutoffs have been around for awhile too

and since lace is where it's at for me

ah hello

it's a no brainer here

give me one in every color you have please!

if this is something you'd like too

here's the Target link:

http://www.target.com/p/mossimo-supply-co-juniors-short-assorted-colors/-/A-14093376#?lnk=sc_qi_detaillink

they wash fabulous

fit true to size

and look pretty darn lovely on the laundry line too!

and no worries on ordering them online

if you get them and don't love 'em

simply return them to any Target store for a full refund

easy peasy!

here's the kickers i bought to go with em'

they're pretty darn cute and

believe it or not

comfy too!

it's summertime

we're girls

be happy!!

sorry

no link for the lace up sandals

they were a clearance item from V.S.

a bit of a random post i know,

but

there you are

you just never know what's going on in the land of odds

lol!

...a diamond in the rough

~ diamond in the rough ~

i am but a diamond

~ in the rough ~

in this sea of life

constantly being

R-A-V-A-G-E-D

yes please!

wash over me

as these are traits that i wish to behold

i can only be who i am today

and challenge my own limits

for after all,

i AM my own worst enemy

 just knowing

that my roughened soul

can still be made useful

is enough to spur me on

for that quiet voice within me

whispers gently

...the best is yet to come...

 i sigh with relief

and delight in the thought ~

to be a part of something beautiful...

but today,

i.

...may day fairy

...fine day my dears!

a fairy was out in my garden today ...

in the beautiful sunshine,

on this first of May

i was hanging the first of spring

~ load o' laundry ~

on the line,

 when i spied her...

would you like to pull back the lace curtain 

and see her too??!

come and look...

there,

seated oh-so-gracefully

under that white dogwood tree

is she not lovely?

(well of course i AM biased!)

her head is adorned with a lavender crown

aahhhh

the sweet smell of spring...

to catch a glimpse of her smiling is sheer delight!!

she wears a necklace of dogwood flowers...

it's as if

they have simply fallen out of the tree above

and are dancing around her ~

OH

how utterly divine!!

and as fairies are whimsical creatures,

they adore simple joys

l-o-n-g 

forgotten by adults

can you guess what she is doing??

why blowing

a wand of the "worlds best bubbles" of course!!

she doesn't agree...

and says that they are NOT the best bubbles!!

regardless ~

i was just enchanted

to watch this fairy in my garden,

blowing crappy iridescent bubbles:)

lol!!

aahhhh yes,

there is nothing quite like the first of May

and to have such a light, happy heart,

what more,

 could one could ask for?!

well perhaps,

 one more load of beautiful laundry?!

happiest may day dear ones!!
