muerto de risa

new york!

i'm off to ny...

i'll be back next week.

sweet

i love this mermaid doll by danita.

cactus

i like this fuzzy cactus.  it almost looks cuddly. 

dwarf pomegranates

dwarf pomegranates are cool.

i even like their scientific name: Punica granatum 'Nana.'

amanda marie

this past weekend we finally had some time to relax and decided to use our free passes to the denver botanic gardens.  despite having lived a couple blocks away for almost a year, we never made it inside until sunday.  we were excited to check out the "urban nature" exhibit which brings graffiti-inspired art into the gardens.

some of my favorite murals were by local artist, amanda marie.  her stenciled images make me smile.  every time i look at the duck in the flying bathtub or the octopi with balloons i giggle.

finally friday

i love the plethora of sunflowers in denver.

i'm going to stop and admire each one i pass this weekend.

have a good one!

window scenes

 

i love the shadows i can see through my curtains each morning.

it reminds me of those blue prints you can make by putting plants, etc. on that special paper and leave it out in the sun for awhile.  what are those called?

illicit ohio

 

i am a little obsessed with illicit ohio.  who knew ohio could be fascinating?  the site is full of abandoned buildings and amusement parks and has a section of old vs. new photos of the same sites.  there's even a photo tour of mike tyson's former (and now abandoned) mansion.

how to eat supper indeed!

 

i love this book.

it is the first cookbook i've owned that i read in one night cover to cover.  it's full of little tips and interesting info, not to mention some great recipes.  i made the tomato and chedder turkey burgers last night and spent most of today dreaming about the leftovers. (they're already gone!)

good night

i love the sky in the west.

especially the sunsets.
