Youth is like diamonds in the sun

I wasn’t entirely sure what I was going to write about when I sat down this evening.  But while reviewing my pictures from the weekend it became clear that I’m doing a decent job of soaking up everything a Salt Lake spring/summer has to offer.  

And that’s good news, because life is going too fast.  

Brandi Carlile opened for Ray LaMontagne the other night and she covered this song impeccably well.  It was perfect then and it’s perfect right now.

Song of the Week: Forever Young

The season so far (in pictures)

(Mr. Ray LaMontagne)

Life seems to be making sense in a new kind of way and I hope it continues to :)

There is a lot more fun coming up though and I’m really excited!  I just want to be sure to take advantage of every moment.  A small list for now:

Utah Arts Festival

Farmer’s Market

The Avett Brothers

Josh Ritter

The Decemberists

Amost Lee

dear fall,

It's windy and rainy today and I think it's fair to say that summer is over.  There are still a ton of things I haven't yet shared from this magical summer, but here is a start, compliments of one of the many backyard picnics that took place.  

love,
   summer

let it be known for what we believe in

This song hit a new chord today.

And tonight I was reminded of what a gem old Gio is, which was especially cool since the dude complimenting it was obviously the real deal kind of cyclist and had awesome wheels of his own (far lighter, newer, and more expensive than mine).  I'm not gonna lie. . .I felt kinda cool :)

In other news, my website is back up and running.  It is (and always will be) a work in progress so I'm finally going to just give in and enjoy that aspect of it.  I was going to go in an entirely different direction with it but realized I was forcing something that wasn't really me.  So alas, it isn't a huge change, but slightly refined.  Sometime soon I will direct ya'll back to my blog there.  I know, I know.  Last time.  I promise.

Also, guess who is coming to the SLC?

Yep, add em' to the list!  The one and only Coco Rosie!  The best part?  I'm going with the beauty who introduced me to them. . .

And guess who else is coming?! . .

It's officially summer!
