..i dream of spring..

where a magnolia flower fits perfectly into the back of my hair . sweet icey lemonade & cute white shorts . soft breeze heavy with the scent of jasmine . twilight later & later into the evening . afternoons with suntea & backgammon on mom's porch . long hair on a bare shoulder over a new tank top . fresh new perfume like sugar ~ lychee & a spray on tan . new sandals & cleaned out closets . carwashes & butterflies . going to church in the evening knowing it will still be light when we get out . going to Gypsy Den & not freezing on the patio . pixi dresses with straps that tie in a little bow on top of the shoulder . espadrilles & Three's Company . home improvement projects . life improvement projects . art projects . finding a used bookstore & spending an afternoon reading . blackberry sage . Nordstrom Cafe . driving trips to Carmel..San Francisco..Santa Barbara . ponytails . sunroofs . blonde hair blowing out the side window driving up PCH . iced chai . holding someone else's new kitten & helping to name it . maybe "Gypsy" . Joni Mitchell music . Almost Famous & remembering how much I love Jacob . visiting Christiana & shopping at Serenite in Lieper's Fork . yoga clothes . In N Out . peonies for Mothers' Day..because they're her favorite . magazines at the beach . breakfast dates outside . pedicures after shopping . having all of Summer to look forward to . long days . going to Cinespia again (hopefully) . antique stores..because Summer is more fun with vintage accents . scarves in my hair with a bathing suit . Main Street Huntington . riding mom's silver beach cruiser on the boardwalk . iced soy vanilla lattes from Starbucks . 3pm scrambled eggs at Sugar Shack . Forever 21 . swimming pools & striped towels
