Here’s the thing about New England.

(and many other chilly climates, I imagine)

When spring arrives, we appreciate it so much more than most people I know would. It’s honestly like a ray of hope. While my friends in Los Angeles put on their winter coats at 60 degrees, 60 degrees in Boston brings out sundress and flip flops. So imagine the excitement of the population around here when it hit above 80 last week. EIGHTY. As in beach weather. In mid-March. I don’t care how pale I am, I needed to show some skin for this occasion.

Anddd maybe now we’re back to 50s and raining but it sure was lovely while it lasted. How many days until summer now??

I don’t know how this was ever officially decided on, but sometime over the last few years, the hummingbird became the official mascot of my apartment/roommates (better known as Green Street Girls).

Missing these girls more than ever, hummingbirds have been on my mind a lot lately. Amanda sent us a photo of this cookbook last week, available from (of course) Anthropologie.
