iPhone Photos: Picnic

It was 67 degrees yesterday, a perfect day for a picnic. I'm hoping the weather stays this way from here on out and that this is the first of many enjoyable afternoons spent out of doors.

...Here's a funny old polaroid that my mom found of me...

This was taken during the spring of my junior year of high school c.1998 and right around my 17th birthday. Two things that stand out: my really tan skin and freaky highlighted hair. :o

TGIF!

A Valentine Picnic

Yesterday, Cole and I decided to celebrate our Valentine's day. It was quite a wonderful day from start to finish. Cole surprised me in the morning with a my favorite frappuccino and a delicious omelet in bed. After being lazy for a few hours, we could no longer stay indoors and miss out on such a lovely day. It was so sunny and warm that Cole suggested a picnic. We walked to the golf course near our place and had quite a lovely time sitting on a bed of needles beneath the trees. Many of you probably remember that we love going on champagne picnics and since it had been so long since our last one in September, I was just so glad to be able to sit there and take advantage of the weather.

It's been awhile since Cole and I went on a picnic. Our usual lake spot was overrun by a child's birthday party, but we found a new secluded spot where we drove our Jeep to the edge of a field and found a lovely old tree to rest beneath. Jimmy Johns was on the menu and was quite delicious!

Cole and I watched Manhattan Murder Mystery last night, which happened to be the inspiration for this shoot.

Another Delightful Dozen swap, courtesy of Tieka. A very pretty little dress, if a bit snug. I love the soft lavender shade.

Cole and I hadn't been on a champagne picnic in a few weeks. It was quite wonderful, but bloody hot. I don't think I can take too much more of this heat and humidity. Bring on fall!

Funny little story...when we were in the store buying the champagne, Cole was carded. As the cashier was checking his ID she asked if I was his daughter. Cole's response was "that's my wife." She then ID'd me. What!? Seriously. I know I look young, but not that young. Neither does Cole look that old. Silly lady. This was the first time this has ever happened to us, but it used to happen to my parents all the time. My dad went gray really young and my mom looks very young for her age. Bah.

It was time for our weekly champagne picnic. Sadly, I wasn't feeling very well and didn't want to take any outfit photos. It's never fun when you can't enjoy champagne. But on the upside, my hair is finally getting long enough to braid.

Thank you so much for all the incredibly sweet comments on yesterday's post. Jamilah and I both truly appreciated them.

I'm still not feeling so hot, I think I got a stomach bug from my mother in law. So I'm going to work in bed today.

Yours,
