good morning and happy 4th of july!
it is that time again. the beginning of another month. the fifth month of our inspired project. here is our inspired duo for june. i love them together. the text on heather's piece reads:

during tea

drying in the
open breeze
of the window,
your polka dotted
blouse billowed

heather will be posting another duo and my response to her first piece on her blog today. you should also check out her newly updated website. she has a little section on special projects and has included inspired.

have a great day!

snack time.

i have been so happy lately eating fruits and veggies. i picked up these cuties at the union square market. i also just made some delicious squash and zucchini sauteed with olive oil, onions, thyme, and dill. so good. perfect with a slice of whole wheat bread from the bakery with a dab of butter.

i think i'm getting hungry again. maybe i need a little snack.

good night, all.
