Dear Samuel Beam


I would like to inform you that I am pretty sure we are soulmates.

Every time your fingers touch the strings of your guitar, and your voice mingles with it like Polaroid photographs and reluctant love, I am convinced.

We could live in a house with a garden underneath the trees or on a misty beach and wear wool socks.

I would grow you flowers and you would play me guitar, and we could spend all day in a soft white bed or walk by the ocean and the world would be like roses and sea glass and we would be perfectly, perfectly happy.



Sincerely,

Robin Joanne

this is a tribute to lazy summer days


I'm baking kuchen right now. (Easy breakfast cake.) I totally just felt like baking a cake. At 9:30 in the morning.

If you're worried I haven't been sleeping enough, so have I. My problem is I have so many things I want to do, and when I get home from work I feel like, "Ok! Now I can Do Stuff!!" and so I stay up late "doing stuff", and then I wake up early because I'm so excited to "do more stuff!". It would seem unhealthy, but can it really be bad if I'm this excited about life?





Reading+beds+summer+trees+barefeet.

Oh, the kuchen is done, and its golden-yellowy-honey-perfection. And the coffee I just made is Really Strong.

I just downloaded the new Iron and Wine album, and he's done it again. It's goooood.

I'm purifying water right now to make kombucha.

I want to make my own crackers.

I love the photos here.

The pictures in this blog are all airy and light.

Oh! This blog---the artwork is incredible. I'm so inspired.

I'm going to pick out some new glasses today and maybe stop by the library.

Hopefully go camping tonight!

Summer, you are my friend.

i'm scared, and that's how I know it's Real.
