These are a few bits of happiness within the last two-ish weeks. People, places, things, and all.

(Clockwise from top left)

1. Wildflowers to brighten a ground-level apartment.
I picked them two Mondays ago on a run that led me to a huge open field. I went back again this past Monday to get more. I’ll probably go back tomorrow too!  

2. Le copain! + pictures of him from 4 consecutive Christmases.
After the other couple-y amis shared baby pics and after le copain saw some of mine over Easter, I insisted that he send me some of his when he was home over the summer. Except that didn’t happen, so his mother mailed them! 
(*And he was a really good sport for this picture…or at least after he got a few silly ones out of the way). 

3. Studying on the benches outside the majestic Bailey Hall on a perfectly blue-skyed day. 
I’m pretty sure this was the last day before the leaves starting turning colors. And I did enjoy it. Fall is coming. Be prepared for a fall photo-set soon. 

4. Moosewood Restaurant vegetarian deliciousness with my parents!
They came through town (although on the unfortunate circumstances of a great uncle passing away), but it was super nice to see them after not having seen them for over a month! Dearest mother and I both got some sort of warm vegetable thing served in a baby bear pumpkin which came with quinoa and garlicky broccoli rabe. Dearest father got tostadas served with some Mexican spiced Israeli couscous, chips, and guacamole. (*On a side note… Tumblr is trying to correct quinoa to Joaquin and tostadas to asbestos…LOL)
