wedding season!

last month two very good friends got married after 6 years of dating, this month another couple ive been close with since college is getting impromptu married after 7 years of dating.  i think were officially old.  but i digress cos it was a lovely short ceremony on a gorgeous day, followed by delicious food and drinks, dancing, and merriment!

francophone

aka the phone.  and a frank.

rhubarb mac and cookies

but not all together.  cos that would be horrific. 

ridic easy rhubarb bars.. which the roommate and i ate in great quantities, alone on a plate or with froyo. 

flowers, the garden, and death

my karl rosenfield peonies!!  about quadruple the size this year, and such a gorgeous color!  i brought a couple indoors and aside from smelling just slightly sickly sweet, they lasted surprisingly well, until a gusty day brought aaaall the petals into a mass on the floor.  a couple more are sending out a second bud, so a few more weeks of blooms

liz's laundry

only two pics, and on my computer theyre dated from may.  i have rediscovered shorts this year and/or last fall when places were having super clearance sales.  apparently my favorite fast fashion stores [gap/h&m/bass/target] have discovered a 3-5" inseam is much more attractive than the crotch-eating shorts of yore.  thank god.
