Today I deliberately drove over an hour to an Estate Sale that I thought would have vintage clothing, but wasn't as certain as I usually like to be.  As crazy as that sounds (especially since I did end up empty handed), the drive was beautiful and ultimately the outing itself was well worth it.

Huh, that was simple.

Backroads

I've been working Admin. part time now for only a little over a month and though I enjoy it, I'm so glad I have two days a week off to work on my shop, create and have little adventures-- today was no exception!

My Mom and I often work very different schedules, but every now and then we get an afternoon to catch up.  Today we did so with one of our favorite past times, a drive and a walk w/ our dogs at one of the local forest preserves.  I tend to think of the area we were in today as the back-roads of suburbia; long winding roads with one lane going each way, twisting through farm fields, forests and wetlands.  *sigh* and what a beautiful, sunny day it was!  I do believe spring is well and truly here!
