The Lower Lights are playing a show this Friday night, down in Provo at the Provo Library ballroom. Tickets are on sale here. You should come, bring a friend, a significant other, a kid or two (kids under three are free) and enjoy a night of good music, good mood and grab some killer dessert at this place on your way out (they are open until 11pm, boohyeah!).
I am tempted every year to start buying and planting beautiful flowers and such at this time of year, but I know we are destined to still have another snow, so I wait... not very patiently... for old man winter to hit the road.
Today Cash and I raked all the leaves in the backyard that somehow got missed because I was too pregnant to care when it was time to get rid of them. I started all sorts of schemes and ideas for revamping the backyard. Getting ideas of what to plant and where to plant it. I love hanging out outdoors - dinner parties late into summer evenings, just letting the kids run circles around you until the stars come out... it is the best.
I think this IS the year I build my garden boxes, and maybe even a good fire pit area. Having three kids has made me realize I don't really ever want to leave the house if I don't have to. I think this summer we will be putting the backyard to good use because of that.
I've been cutting out magazines and bookmarking all sorts of sites for ideas and tips. Now if it can only stay warm enough for me to get started.
I am loving Jessica Lea Mayfield these days. I have both her albums (1: with blasphemy so heartfelt 2: tell me), and caught her show while we were in Nashville a few weeks back. I love they way she draws out her songs/words when she sings - reminds me a little of Lucinda Williams that way - a lazy kind of singing, for lack of a better way of describing it. She's great though.Give er a listen why don't you.
I stumbled across this website today, and fell in love. I need one of each of these in my home. Okay, maybe 2 of each. (warning: most of the product shots have so nude girls reading the newspaper... just in case you shy easily from such things.)
Our friends Machelle & Dylan, introduced me to lemon basil last night. They made us this amazing dinner - such great cooks. She put together some baguettes with cheese and this fresh lemon basil she grew, and oh! Why did I not know this herb existed?! I am growing it this summer and eating it every day from then on out.
I grew up around brothers, the neighborhood had more boys my age then girls... so I grew up loving starwars. Now... having 3 boys myself, I am happy they like it so much too. If you had any kind of childhood around starwars, you'll love this:
