in case you were not aware, starburst jelly beans are by far the best jelly beans ever. but they ONLY come out at Easter time...so, so sad. this bowl was halfway full at one point. lee also agrees they are the best.

if you look closely, you can see a mama duck sitting on her nest underneath the monkey grass. my grandmother noticed the duck when she accidentally almost stepped on it a few days earlier. apparently, the mama duck needed to get away from the pond and find somewhere safe for her babies to hatch. she also hissed at me when i took this picture...

oh, this place was my main (and sometimes only) source of "vegetables" during my college years. my mom would often remind me that mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and fried okra are not exactly the healthiest vegetables available, but more often than not, they were the closest i got to anything resembling vegetables (especially when i lived in the dorm).

my sweet friend, caitlin, shared a wonderful and long-overdue city cafe lunch with me while we were in tuscaloosa. so, so good.

good ol' hobby airport....thanks for giving us a couple of extra hours with you before we could leave and head to alabama because a southwest plane was "broken" due to a dent from a bird on the right wing. i promise, i do not make these things up.

family circle has become a favorite magazine of mine, not because we have a huge family or anything, but because it has awesome recipes (with nutrional facts) and some cute home-decorating ideas. at some point a few months ago, i signed up for a couple of free issues. little did i know, the free issues simply compile of old articles from magazines i already have. lame!
