Today I am thankful for:
at last the beginning of spring -
the wonderful eargasm that is the new Decemberists album -
Ryan Adams (I finally heard more than “When the Stars Go Blue” and he’s lovely -
the promise of going to antique shops and finding pretty things -
the Ivy Cottage books, “The Golden Book of Fairy Tales”, and Hans Christian Andersen

You should read that because it’s beautiful. Really really beautiful. That’s what poetry’s meant to be and I wish I had her words to carry around with me wherever I go. I kind of want to cry every time I read it.

Happy spring! The weather is still perfect except it’s overcast today and not as good hammock weather, but I’m not complaining. Looks like it’s going to stay this way at least for now, excitement excitement. I can finally wear skirts again and maybe hopefully rid myself of jeans for a while.

As mentioned above, I finally got to hear the newest Decemberists album yesterday, “The Hazards of Love”. It’s really really gorgeous and perfect and flows so well. I got lost in it. And I even like the girls, which is unusual because I generally can’t stand female singers but oh my goodness, just perfection. “The Wanting Comes in Waves / Repaid” is my particular favorite right now, mainly the female vocals and I also really like “Won’t Want for Love”, but I could really go on and on about every track and the beauty of the sound and the words and just everything. I was hesitant with it at first but it didn’t take long at all for it to grow on me. Anyway I’ll move on now.

Also as mentioned above my mom is taking me antique shopping tomorrow. I’ll try to take pictures of the things I buy, which should mean only a couple but will probably mean a whole post of them. I love antique shops and all the pretty pretty things that can be found in them, it’s the only shopping I really enjoy. Well, and book shopping which is why I don’t need to buy anything else, I spent more than enough money at Barnes and Noble. Money that should be going towards college expenses. Oh well.

And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.
