It's hard not to be upbeat in the middle of an Austin spring. The whole city is abloom with wildflowers and greenery, and there's a pervasive mist that blurs the edges of plants and trees, creating a sort of Middle Earth effect (though I talked to Agapito about this the other day, and it turns out I might just need to wear my glasses. Details).
The shoe above is one of a pair I received as a gift for dissertation defense from my mom and Patrick. They are the first pair of fancy shoes I've ever owned--they are Fryes, ooh la la. And they just so happen to look extra superb against the backdrop of bluebonnets (please ignore the ugly thick cuff). Below is a photo of Agapito and me after we took pictures of the girls in the bluebonnets.
As I've mentioned before, spring is also the time when we have to get all of our outdoor fun in, before evil hot comes. Although we've tried to go hiking in the past, I gave up after causing Agapito to have an allergic reaction at The Wild Basin trail (it's amid the notorious Cedar trees).
So, why not make things easy and get our outdoor fun in over at Amy's Ice Cream? We met up with Gloria, who's started blogging again over at Mama Tejana, and her sweet kiddos. The picture of Rosie and Ben kind of breaks my heart. It's so very Texas, in the best way.
