outfit: day at the park

Some days are just for t-shirts and jeans, you know? Corban and I used our Labor Day afternoon to take Vera for a walk in the park and check out the tent being constructed for the upcoming Oktoberfest.







It was such a lovely day to walk around the park. We always enjoy seeing the construction before a big event...spaces feel so different when they are packed with people, and it seems almost magical thinking that the quiet little park we are standing in will soon be something else entirely - transformed into a huge festival ground filled with people, food, dancing, and music.

I like the idea that a place (or thing) can hold such endless possibilities. :)

a walk in the park

Some of my favorite memories have happened during completely unexpected circumstances. Almost getting caught in the sprinklers during a routine walk in the park and then hunting for rainbows definitely ranks up there.

lazy summer afternoon

Wow, it's been a (comparatively) long time since I posted! Five whole days, what is this world coming to?

To make up, here are some pictures from this weekend!

Sangria/Margaritas with Ash at Gloria's, delicious brunch at Whiskey Cake with Corban (crusted trout with shoestring squash and tomato sauce = heaven), napping under a tree at the park, and lazing around at Astoria. It's a hard life, but I'm willing to sacrifice.

Coming soon, photos from this weekend's Cinco de Mayo/Mustachio Bashio party and recordings from last month's choral concert!
