Dearest Bloggy-villers,
After a drowsy rain & a sumptuous breve tea latte, chased by a small handful of donut holes ... I felt it was time to welcome in Summer. What with all the Snow White-esque action going on outside my hut, it only seemed appropriate. Birds a twitter & bees, well you know! Bees being bees, etc.
Anywayz: Welcome Summer!
As a gift & an honor, I give you one of my most favorite Photoshopped images ... The Library Park. It only seemed right to also make it my new bloggy banner. Peeps, look up & have a seat on the bench. Kick off your treads. No worries, it's dry. Story time ...
Once upon a time, I was without a place to be 9-5 Monday through Friday. This allowed Moi to bask in the glory of every local park I could find. It was Spring. I hunted these gorgeous spots down with a vengeance. It was a solo activity ... Of which I really enjoyed & much needed. (Hmmm? All but that one private park. A quiet duet. Pure heaven!)
I was a renegade urban park ranger. Whilst the workers of my bubble were doing the toile & trouble ... Making widgets & other shee shee, I was sporting flip flops, white cotton Gap drawstring duds with a T, & an Oilily paisley backpack. What was in the backpack you ask? Camera, sketchpad/pencil, teeny-weeny throw, crackberry (off in park) & iPod, natch!
Yours truly "Park Picnic-ed" all over this city. Day & night - There is one bachelor in this city that will tell you I seduced him with cocktails, at a very trendy establishment one night on our 2nd date, only to commandeer his pristine vintage Mercedes sedan whilst he rode shotgun. I flew like a bat through the night ... Windows down, radio silent & managed visits to 3 gorgeous parks! (He later learned that my cocktails were just straight fizzy San Pellegrinos, not she-must-be-sloshed-like-me-drinky-poos.) To hear a guy happily groan while sliding his bare feet into blades of thick green grass is like ... Ya know, bee type stuff. I believe he may have even taken a small nap at one park, on the picnic table ... Did I take pictures of his toes!?!
All that said, you must know by now that it is all about the parks for me! This new banner happens to be from a photo I took of a local lake park. Van Gogh-ish don't cha think? All that yummy green ...
If you have made it this far & have read my entire post, I have a special treat for you! Please join me in the decadent pleasures of a sugar rush, as I am reveling in & go get one of these. Dip you fingers into the frosting ... How can you not?
Many smooches & happy Summer to ya,
The Tart
