Greetings, all, from the land of delightfully warm sun-shininess! (Well, at least for a well-loved and much-appreciated day or two, anyway....)
Thought I'd make a wee list of just *some* of the many things that have been making my heart sing this week...
*You're invited to check out my latest set of photos @ flickr for some lovely visual impressions from the highly enjoyable Mama's Day '08. The stunningly gorgeous henna work was done by Ms. Kara Jones (*SO* one of my very favorite people in the whole wide world!), and the stunningly gorgeous card and flowers were from the one-and-only Ms. Sequoia!
(Yes, I'm still figuring out stuff like inserting hyperlinks and uploading to flickr and etc etc etc so thanks for your patience as I wind my way through the twists and turns of this virtual world full of useful tools for conveying thoughts, images, sounds and sights and emotions....)
*As summer time draws ever-nearer, my taste-buds giggled with glee this week at the delightful combination of the year's first cherries, dipped into the whipped cream atop my iced white-chocolate mocha-- fuel on Friday afternoon for the evening's shift at Luna.... I am most thankful indeed to have a job I truly enjoy, which continues to nourish me in sometimes surprising ways-- and it's certainly an easy commute! :)
*Right this very minute, merrily multi-tasking my way through the evening, my heart soars along with the ***rawther*** gorgeous "Soaring and Silken, Sad and Lovely" songs of Devotchka, as described by NPR-- including an archive of one of their recent shows at this site.
Planning to catch them on this coast soon at the Capitol Hill Block Party in July....
*Also looking forward to an 8-week online art-journaling class that will begin June 2-- I've long enjoyed this artist's enthusiastic and welcoming approach, and the price is exceedingly reasonable at $15-- should any of you out there also like to sign up! :)
OK, 'bout it from me for now.... What's been making YOUR heart sing this week???

I'm counting down the days until all the Farmers Markets open here in the city. In the meantime, we've spent a lot of time soaking up the springtime sun--dodging raindrops on our way to the park or the local store with Graeme in tow. Chicagoans breathe a sigh of relief and hit the streets en masse this time of year. We're joining in with that tradition and stocking up on Chicago memories to take with us. :)
