feet on the ground - head in the sky

there's something about this windmill that is just so dreamy it scoops our hearts up and makes us want to drift off into a day dream.

glamorous mystery

because mysterious is glamorous. oh, and totally sexy, too.

in summer, the song sings itself - william carlos williams

ah yes, summer has officially arrived - and today is the longest day of the year, so this post is short and sweet so we can get back outside and enjoy these last few hours of sunlight before the days start getting shorter again. 

oh how we will miss the 9 pm dusk. 

when we think of summer, we think of these miniature vintage repro postcards we had from a trip to hawaii in high school. though we've been known to save everything, these didn't make it, but we did find a few online that were similar if not identical. 

summer means that everything slows down just a little; the heat gets stuck beneath the trees; you sweat outside at midnight; you jump in a pool by moonlight; great music; all around fun. 

what do you think of when you think about summer? what are your summer plans?

detour : eagles concert (w/ keith urban AND the dixie chicks)

if you aren't from northern new jersey you might be interested to know that there are no country radio stations here, and it feels almost like it's a faux pas to enjoy country music. we've been mocked by many people for enjoying the twangy stylings of people like keith urban, kenny chesney, brad paisley, dierks, and sugarland. but we love them anyway. and we tend to think everyone is missing out if they 1. haven't been to a country concert 2. have never tailgated at a country concert with cornhole, blaring country music, and pick up trucks, shitkickers, and cowboy hats and finally, 3. don't enjoy country.

so we are always very excited when country musicians come to town - tonight we're going to be seeing the legendary classic rock band the eagles, with opening acts dixie chicks (who haven't been on stage together in something like 4 years) and keith urban (whom we love love love).

follow us on twitter for updates throughout the night!

here's a few videos of our favorite songs from the eagles, keith urban, and the dixie chicks - enjoy!
