I was recently cleaning out some photos and found this gem that was taken last year in the end of April.  As I look out the window today, I’m pretty grateful that my new home takes spring a little more seriously.

It is pretty though.  So, aside from being super happy that there is no snow on the ground, I’m sharing a few other favorite things this week.

Scandal.  Now, I get it.  Whenever J is traveling for work, I find myself searching for my next Netflix binge watch.  I’ve been hearing about Scandal forever and finally started it last night… and watched the whole first season (thank goodness it was only 7 episodes.)  Every time I would say that I would watch one more episode, something would happen that made me NEED to watch just one more.
Blogs about blogging.  They were everywhere this week.  It might be because of the American Blogger documentary that was released, but who knows.  My favorite post that I read was this one from The Laurel Gazette.
Good phone conversations.  I’ve learned that having an old fashioned chat session on the phone with girlfriends can probably solve all of your problems.  I have a few friends with a really long commute and it works out perfectly to keep them entertained on their drive home.  We are planning our first trip home in about a month and I’m pretty excited.
Vacations.  I love reading vacation recaps.  I don’t know why people always apologize for posting “too many pictures” because I want to see them ALL.  My running partner took a quick trip to NYC and wrote about it yesterday here.  Also, here is another blogger that apologizes for so many vacation recaps and I’m sitting on my couch wishing she would post even more from her recent adventures (here is a link to her last highlights post.)  Is it just me that loves these?

This season in sports.  I know I keep talking about it, but I love that my weekend includes hockey on TV tonight and my first game at Yankee Stadium tomorrow.  I love football too, but these two sports overlapping just makes me so happy.
This song.  It kind of just makes me happy.
