Here are pictures of my first adventure this spring. It was actually a little nippy out this day but it was still beautiful!  Enjoy! :)

Blueberry lemonade anyone?

I am thirsty. So I was inspired to look up fun drinks to make and I came across blueberry lemonade. Nothing too exciting, but the combination of the two in liquid form sounds interesting--- I think I'll give a try the next hot day we have. :)

Ingredients

• 1 cup plus 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
• 2 cups water

• 1 pint fresh blueberries
• 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 10 big lemons, including pulp but not seeds)

Instructions

1. First make a simple syrup by combining 1 cup sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the mixture boils. Lower the heat and allow the syrup to simmer for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool. In a blender or food processor, puree the blueberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar. In a pitcher, combine the cooled syrup, lemon juice and blueberry puree. To serve, pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup of base into a glass and fill with water. Makes base for 12 servings.
   
   
   OH! Today it rained. I spent a large part of the day listening to Bon Iver. When I wasn't, I was making cookies, dancing around the house with friends, playing the piano, or jumping in puddles. :) It was wonderful!
   
   
   And, Today I invested in my hammock:
   
   I'm planning a trip to Coolidge to try it out very soon!
   
   
   Oh, and here is a video my cousin just shared with me.  There's not much to it but it's peaceful and all. Sounds like spring:

   Alright. It's raining and I'm ready to go listen to the rain hit my roof and window as I fall asleep. :)
   Goodbye all!

Spring. Is. Here. :)

A loverly 72 degrees today and completely sunny. If only I had been able to be outside all day. *sigh*

But, riding with the windows down while driving and singing at the top of my lungs was pretty incredible. 

Pictures from the day:

Welcome back little dandelion, welcome back. 

I only had a few minutes before the sun set this evening, so I grabbed my bike and headed down the road. Nothing spectacular, but it was a very pleasant ride after a long day.

More to write about tomorrow I'm sure. :)

Until next time, adios!
