dear diary

this week...
i love the smell of: hash browns on the griddle & tall hollyhocks in the garden.
i love the sound of: fireworks sparking, popping & twinkling.
i love the taste of: fluffy pancakes & patriotic cupcakes.
i love the sight of: men wearing madras plaid & women wearing bright lipstick. families holding hands, carrying coolers, blankets & little ones.
i love the feel of: being fancy & being free.
