spring rituals.

flower

last night, i decided to start a new spring ritual... it's called "open up all the windows in the house, pour a big glass of white wine, spy on the neighbors, and eat handfuls of chocolate chips straight out of the bag."  it is highly recommended.

note: when the neighbors notice you staring at them, you have two options: smile and wave, or duck. you can guess which one i did.

wishing you lots of sunshine and warmth this weekend.

    This made me laugh. Mainly because I did almost the exact same thing yesterday -- white wine and chocolate chips straight out of the bag. Minus the neighbors and plus Food Network :)

    Happy weekend.

    Man, we must be sharing brain waves, because I was definitely drinking wine and eating chocolate chips by the handful yesterday. I was so thrilled to have the windows open in the kitchen.

    i guess your response to the neighbors seeing you spy would depend on what you were spying on them doing... hopefully just enjoying a spring day!

    sounds heavenly. I think I'm going to substitute thin mints for the chocolate chips though..

    That sounds wonderful! I know I'd do the duck version - and then instantly regret that I didn't just smile & wave :-)

    This is a great ritual. It's still pretty chilly here in Chicago, but I'm drinking champagne, nibbling on radishes w/ butter and salt (very summery thing to do!), and burning grass-scented candles! Come on summer!!!
