Hello, Saturday. Hello, summer. Hello, autumn. Hello, all.

I worked on the batter this morning while Sam ran an errand. Zesting lemons, beating egg whites, and then I thought, "I know what I'm missing!" I called Sam and asked if he could pickup the newest Tallest Man on Earth album, very casually, as if it were a grocery item, something small that I needed to complete a task.

This seems like the perfect time to do something like this, since it's all so tangible:
LISTENING The Tallest Man on Earth and (his wife) Idiot Wind (Thanks, Molly!)
WATCHING Sleepwalk with Me and The Imposter
EATING Sprouted Kitchen's Lemon Pancakes
READING The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein

Now we've moved on to a sultry Julie London record. Things are moving very slowly around here today, and that—that feels fine.

  5. Oh I LOVE Julie London! I never run into anyone who even knows who she is. Nice Girls Don't Stay For Breakfast would go perfectly with your stacks of pancakes. :-)

  8. You are such a wonderful photographer Jessica, I pop by every now and just adore your blog. Keep it up, I would be sad if I couldn't visit any longer.

    PS: my blog used to be Fancy Cow Decor and you commented on a couple of my posts. I wanted to introduce my new blog. I got married and just really wanted my new name to be reflected in my blog. I truly feel like a 'bird' :)
