this image really nails it right? or maybe not. i don’t know. it certainly spoke to me- from the inside looking out, missing spring. everything outside looks the same but it’s not. am i being dramatic? also my windows are that dirty. and i can’t clean them because i can’t get the screens off. well, some of them i can but several of them are on there forever unless someone with tools and patience comes to remove them for me and i don’t know anyone who has both.

wherever you are i hope you’re self-quarantining.

here are some diversions for you:

have you seen the lavender ghost? a house in the hudson valley that is painted lavender (dead) on the outside and white on the inside. it makes a very strong case for the all white vibe. probably because of the architecture. in any case it’s dreamy and you should have a look. then immediately follow on instagram.

this tater tot casserole was delicious and easy. if you bought ground beef or turkey or even sausage give this midwestern hot dish a shot. you will also need tater tots.

the origins of “dead ringer”, “saved by the bell” and “the graveyard shift” are most disturbing. fun read though.

these floral clay wine stoppers are beautiful.

this photographer’s work is stunning.

chicken francese. so easy and you probably stocked up on these ingredients in your covid shop.

i’ll take 6 of these dinner plates please.

this cake is hope.

another probably-have-all-the-ingredients dinner to make.

these leggings are the best. also, did you know if you click on reviews you can filter the reviews based on your usual size, height and weight? SO helpful.
