leftovers
Happy birthday, Case...football fan, lover of lemon filled donuts, scientist, smartypants, makes the very best german chocolate pancakes, patient, the boy I married, generous, Hermie snuggler, night owl, Dr. Pepper drinker, the biggest kid with his nephews, the only person who could ever get me to wear a football jersey or enjoy a game, laughs at Demetri Martin and Flight of the Conchords, loses his voice during Charger home games, sleeper inner, a daydreamer, receives a call every year on this day from his mom at 1:41 pm....the moment he entered this world, and how very happy I am that he is here.

Pam told me about this contest on Veer, the deadline is midnight tonight....so enough procrastinating and thinking on it (that's what I told myself at 10 this morning). I started with a deer (of course, I love them and have several dancing around me at all times), then the frame (that is essential for the contest), and some museum putty (for the illusion of jumping). Now I can sit back with good thoughts and my fingers crossed that I win, me or Pam that is.

Wednesdays are full, long, rewarding, sometimes too hot...it's the day I do the farmers' market, and no matter how ready I think I am it is a lot of list making, checking off and scrambling around.

A little while ago I got an email from Rebekah, the artist and heart that is Orangepoppy, she wanted to know if I'd like to do some product photography while she was in town visiting a friend....I said, yes, of course! So this evening I met up with Rebekah (on the right) and her dear friend, Stacy (on the left), who was modeling Rebekah's newest creations (so beautiful!). We ended the shoot in Solana Beach capturing the last bits of light as the sun set...a lovely end to a most lovely of photo shoots. Thank you, Rebekah, for the opportunity to work with you and to meet my first blogfriend in person!
Numbers mean different things to different people.
For example, the number 21 makes me happy because it is my birthday, my dad's birthday and it comes up often in Las Vegas.
Or the number 3, there are three sisters in my family, and it is truly the magic number.
♥the rainbow tomato Candace gave me from her garden (my first one!)
♥the strawberry tart from the new booth next to me, Gingerlily Bakery (super cute name)
♥the overflowing bowl of plums and nectarines from the nice fruit guy who sells in the aisle behind me (need to get his name next week)
♥the perfect coconut cupcake from Ginglerlily, too... Mary and Wade are the hearts behind these lovely confections and are as sweet as can be
♥the cluster of tomatoes in shades of yellow and green, delicious!
Hermie and I used to walk very early in the mornings, then I got more and more comfortable with taking him later, sleeping in, browsing the internet upon waking...developed bad habits over the summer. With a new month upon us, we headed out early, the new morning light was refreshing, the students heading to school was delightful, and the bloom soaking up the sunrise in front of the bedroom was the cherry on top, there is only one right now, and it is beautiful.
