hi everyone! happy monday! we’ve gone from from snow to spring since last week’s sensory overload. that’s right, this past week gave those of us who call asheville home a chance to get outside and have our first attack of spring fever. with the gorgeous weather,  though, came the challenge to soak it up and enjoy it as much as possible… because we ashevillians know that winter is not done with us yet. that’s just how the weather goes here in north carolina. there are at least two more months where possible winter storms can blow in at any given time. so, when it feels like spring, it’s time to act like spring. and i did just that!

doors flung open. driving with the windows down. fresh salads to eat. coffee to drink. adventures to be had. new places to explore. smoothies to sip. it was a great week.

monday morning coffee love

adventure saturday underway! cherokee & bryson city were on the list. (check back on thursday, when i introduce you to this amazing indian reservation only 45 minutes from us. a blast from the retro past).

sunday morning moments in the sun. perfection.

brought home a dreamcatcher to hang on the wall. swoon. looking all springy at home!

spent the whole entire day reading. amazing!

wishing you a beautiful, fantastic, amazing, & productive week!

love & peace. xx
