He Also Wears a Sailor Shirt.

I saw this picture of Picasso in a book the other day, he was wearing an outfit of all plaid. Plaid pants, plaid shirt... I fell in love with it. I tried to find it to share with you, but to no avail. So I found this picture instead. He makes the cutest grandpa, I say. An insightful grandpa too... he said "Anything you can imagine is real." Not to knock my grandpaps, they are infinitely amazing, but wouldn't it be cool if they threw that statement in over dinner??

Two Quotes and a Painting

“Changing the world is good for those who want their names in books. But being happy, that is for those who write their names in the lives of others, and hold the hearts of others as the treasure most dear.”

- Orson Scott Card

Ah, and there is the secret.

And my other favorite thing? To come back home.

New favorite. Gorgeous colors. Gorgeous brush strokes. Gorgeous story.

This is not a post about bicycles.

How can you not love riding bikes!? (fran...) My bike's name is Thunder Peak. My mama bought it for me at a garage sale... and boy did she hit the jack pot. It may make you pedal harder than other bicycles and sometimes the gears malfunction, but thats besides the point. It takes me through the river bottoms and down this grand dirt path through the cornfields and past the beehives. AND the break cables are painted green and pink and maybe a purple too. There are paint speckles... confirmation that yes, one's mans junk is another man's treasure. Although I'm not a man.

Yes, I too fall in love often.
