burst of sunshine

looking for the sunny this winter in citrus. clementines. little oranges. cuties. whatever you might call them. they are delicious. winter and i cannot get enough of them. nor can my family. we are going through about 3 boxes a week. citrus is in season.
oh my, do i love me some clementines.

buying seasonally saves money and is always the best. if you can get it local? even better. i wish i could eat local clementines.....maybe off a tree in our yard? however, citrus doesn't grow so well in below 0 temps. maybe i should pack up our stuff and move to a warmer and sunnier locale? sounds lovely to me right about now. a girl can dream.

back to reality, a couple clementines peeled carefully is a perfect snack--tasting like a burst of sunshine.

wondering and other stuff going on

what i'm wondering about:

how our little r was wearing size 6 shoes and how he measured a size 7.5? how did i not know that? and how can he be a size 7.5--men's?

i'm wondering if running up and down the stairs 48 times a day is equal to a work-out? say yes, it is. what if i also told you, i am usually carrying a basket of laundry on my hip?

i'm wondering what this praying mantis is thinking?
or if it's thinking at all? r spotted this gal hanging out on the bushes near the house. r has a good eye for bugs and frogs and snakes and turtles. his eye is not so good at spotting laundry baskets and kitchen sinks and his backpack two minutes before leaving for school. ;)

i'm day-dreaming about organized closets....and how i might feel with more space. and i wish the english d would show up and organize my crap....er, i mean stuff.

i'm obsessing over shades of grey and cream.
and burlap.
and baker's twine.
and japanese fishing floats.

i'm listening to the baby bells on the kitties' collars.

and this song with dave matthews and tim reynolds. i love love love that song--a song big red has been kicking out right here at home.

i'm craving clementines. clementine season is almost here.

and i'm missing my grandparents.

what are you wondering, day-dreaming, obsessing about? what are you listening to? craving and missing?
