copacabana

the may sun and breeze have stolen my heart. 
i am sun burnt and filthy and never have been happier about it in my life.

i've been out all morning attempting to spray paint cabana stripes on a $10 outdoor rug for the back patio.
my hunt for a store bought one ended when i saw dollar signs in the hundreds. ack! 
so far as i can tell, making my own is going to be a real disaster.
i'm a mess of tape and paint over here...with no guarantees.
but the skies are clear, the sun is out, 
and at the very least i get a funny story and one ugly rug out of the deal.
p.s. how is it wednesday already?

    Oh, lovely summer sun!
    We got snow here in Prescott, Arizona yesterday. SNOW! And it was cloudy and windy all day today. What is going on with the world?!
