the north carolina list:
(just to get you started before we find our pictures...)
1. grapes. growing everywhere. it seems to be that what used to be a tobacco-dominated agricultural environment has turned to vineyards - has there ever been a better idea? i don't think so.
2. hoopfest. have you heard of this? hippies & yuppies alike hula hooping to the peace music in the middle of parks all across the state. i even felt like participating, but unfortunately i was wearing a skirt and this turned out to be a bad idea. or a good idea for the guy standing behind me who happened to think my undies were hilarious.
3. veggie food. i'm so glad it's trendy because it is so delicious & wonderful & maybe a little overwhelming to be able to order anything i want off the menu. in a good way.
4. friends. mountains. & ocean.
why we love n.c. in a nutshell.

what i love:
lazy saturday mornings. sleeping in until i simply cannot make myself sleep anymore because i am just way too hungry for scrambled eggs. then making perfect scrambled eggs with a juicy tomato and fresh rosemary & thyme.
a stack of new books from the library. all set & ready for vacation. (except i think i grabbed a book from a series and it is not the first book in the series so naturally i will need to take that back because i cannot read a series out of order. (run-on sentence?))
packing for vacation. swim suit. sunscreen. cute little shampoo & conditioner bottles. a new magazine. snacks. i pod. what could be better than all of my favorite things in one organized suitcase? nothing, i think.
hydrangeas. because they make my house smell like a country cottage all week long.
coffee in my favorite chipped cup with pretty flowers on it - cream, brown sugar, vanilla. my life is bliss.
- have a blissful weekend -
