Happy Friday!

Hello dears! There is a birthday in the family this weekend, so I will be busily baking cupcakes. I'm also hoping to sneak in a few long walks. It sounds insane, but I am loving the gloomy weather. Usually I'm chomping at the bit for spring, but this year I want to hold onto winter just a little bit longer. Just to enjoy being out in my down vest, and snuggle up with a cup of coffee and watch the clouds.

heart on a fence

Isn't this sweet? I stumbled upon that little heart tucked into the fence in my parents' backyard last weekend. My nieces had been down to visit for Valentine's Day and I guess they got excited about the heart shaped craft punch + red construction paper. I wonder how many of these will pop up over the next few months in odd places.

  3. oh, how cute. Sometimes I like gloomy weather too, because I know that when spring comes to Atlanta, blazing hot, miserable summer is not far behind.

  13. Cute photo! Makes me smile. :)

    And secretly, I'm all about gloomy weather too. You don't have to feel bad about curling up on the couch with a good book...or better yet...a BAD Lifetime movie. Haha. Happy weekend!

  17. I love the heart Rachel - it looks really sweet. Your gloomy end of winter lloks a whole lot nicer than ours judging by the lovely light in this photo! Our gloomy = grey and yours looks fresh! Enjoy the rest of the weekend and the cupcakes!

  19. How sweet to find cut out hearts all over the place! I can understand wanted to stay in that cosy winter place a little longer, or summer is at the humid but grey stage and now I'd prefer the air too be a little cooler. Have a wonderful weekend.
