today i decided

to make reservations and spend a week at a really lovely place in the woods. in minnesota. by the water. with a friend. for a week. when it's warm. which is not soon enough.


the only trouble i can imagine so far, is that i will miss my kitty. darn, to be so attached.

otherwise, it is lovely. i will bring my turquoise camera. and a book. and some comfy shoes. and the coffee pot. and the waffle maker. and a nice quilt for the evenings.


here is what my house will look like. i kind of love how simple it is. i love the little kitchen. i actually love that everything looks little.


and here is the living area. there are 2 bedrooms, and a little screened porch facing the water. lots of water. and wood for a bonfire, they tell me.

and we will spend our days exploring and antiquing and eating at quaint little diners when we are not cooking at 'home.'

oh, how fun it will be. i kind of wish i was going today.
