Rain, rain, go away!

Personal

I’m all for the green, lush gardens and no water restrictions, but it has rained every day of May so far. I even heard that this is a record number of rainy days in a row for Philly and I’m ready for the sun!

Remember what this was like?


Don’t worry, it’ll come again. Until then, we’ll have to make do with our rainy days.

Being the smart cookie I am, I finally went out last Sunday and bought myself a pair of wellies! In between showers today, the wellies and I went out for a little photo session…

“The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.”

I have a task for you: go to a playground and swing. I mean it. Leave the kids at home. I want you on that swing. Bask in a summer evening and just play.

Happy birthday to me!
BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!Mine, to be precise. It’s 11am and I’m parched and dehydrated from my party last night. Don’t confuse this for the post-party hangovers of my 20s that resulted from plenty of booze and uncomfortable shoes. This feeling is the result of an overabundance of salt from my CHEESE PARTY. Oh yes.I am beyond proud of my friends who contributed about 18 different kinds of delicious lactose products. Here are some of the winners: a bright green pesto gouda, cinnamon asiago, mango stilton, a Dutch gouda that was special ordered by my friend Neil across the pond, a mustard seed cheddar called Red Dragon, bucheron, cracked pepper Polly ...
