lots of people have found my website lately through googling “white flowering tree in raleigh, nc.” well, ladies and gentlemen, the tree whose identification you’re seeking is the white cherry tree. my street is covered with them. sometimes i think it looks like it snowed, other times it just reminds me of popcorn…depending on how recently i’ve eaten. today was gorgeous, so i took a walk along and took a bunch of photos. think i’ll make a bunch of prints, mat them, and make a series out of these guys to hang in the office. it just screams “happy.”

my grandma is totally kick-ass (sorry to swear, gram, but it’s true). she watches all steeler games with her terrible towel, has a crush on george clooney, and makes the best pumpkin pie. happy 86th birthday, gram! you are totally the bee’s knees and i love you. :) <3

this is my view after locking my keys inside my car during a consult at the triangle town center caribou:

and these are my only friends for the afternoon: a mint snowdrift from caribou, and my trusty droid. thank goodness for smart phones. it’s like having a person in your pocket named “the internet.”

it was one of those days.
