the days are longer, which means all of us get more light at the end of the day while we are together, and it is giving me life. the sunlight, the soft air, sprouting buds and the colors on the flowers are all awakening and reorienting my soul; finally, spring seems to be here.
the girls and i have joyously had dinner outside the past couple of days, and i plan to continue that for as long as i possible can, until the evenings get muggy and the mosquitoes bothersome. besides all that outdoor moments that spring and summer has to offer, what am i looking forward to most? reading the books on my reading list. there are some good ones on there.
there is this sweet neighborhood called takoma park in maryland, right at the border of washington, d.c. that we discovered in the past couple of years while visiting my sister in silver spring. we've loved spending time on these couple of blocks with shops and restaurants - and checking out the houses in the neighborhood around it. a few weeks ago, we went back to that place, to meet together and celebrate my cousin's birthday at a handsome place called takoma bev. we got coffee along with our brunch food (i got the moussaka!), sang happy birthday over a pan of brownies, and walked up and down the block holding hands and admiring the window displays.
