Orchard

From blossoms comes

this brown paper bag of peaches
we bought from the boy
at the bend in the road where we turned toward
signs painted Peaches.

From laden boughs, from hands,
from sweet fellowship in the bins,
comes nectar at the roadside, succulent
peaches we devour, dusty skin and all,
comes the familiar dust of summer, dust we eat.

O, to take what we love inside,
to carry within us an orchard, to eat
not only the skin, but the shade,
not only the sugar, but the days, to hold
the fruit in our hands, adore it, then bite into
the round jubilance of peach.

There are days we live
as if death were nowhere
in the background; from joy
to joy to joy, from wing to wing,
from blossom to blossom to
impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom."

--"From Blossoms" by Li-Young Lee

I can't go to Pigfarts...it's on Mars

 If you are an avid Potter fan like myself, "A Very Potter Musical" and "A Very Potter Sequel" are must-sees! In these hilarious and musical youtube videos, Lucius Malfoy does ballet, Professor Umbridge is a Taylor Lautner fan, and the sorting hat and the "scarf of sexual preference" sort first years into four houses...that is, if Dumbledore can figure out what a Hufflepuff is.

If you have never seen "A Very Potter Musical" or "A Very Potter Sequel," you absolutely must! Yes, they're three hours long each, but so totally awesome.

I am obsessed with these ballet flats from Gap--they are so cute and incredibly comfortable! They also remind me of candy, for some reason, which makes them fun to wear.

Dilley's

I think every town has a restaurant like Dilley's. Everyone goes there, and everyone claims that the food is amazing and will never admit that it just serves generic french fries and soft serve. It's crowded on weekends, and closed on Mondays, and there is a special dogs-permitted area across the graveled parking lot. If there's no more tables left under the overhang, there is a small garden with a few bright red umbrellas to eat under, and you almost have a view of the river while placing your order. When it rains, you can sit inside, but it's way cooler to see the entire eating area flood, even though your hamburger might just get a bit wet on the way to your picnic table. You get a playing card with your order, and you know that when someone yells out "QUEEN OF DIAMONDS!" your food is ready. This place has been around forever, and there are those of use who simply don't remember a time without Dilley's.
