Summer is officially official:)

"Summer is for breaking. Pack nothing. Leave without a note. Follow your internal compass. Wear what you slept in. Sleep in what you're wearing. Use spf. Listen to the ocean but don't take it's advice word for word. Insist on karaoke. Steal a heart. Lose track of time. Live your life. Display skin. Attract a following."

I want to live in a place like this where it is an afternoon trip away from the beach and/or lake and only snows one day a year.

I just want to live in this tree house, please.

This is the treehouse of my childhood dreams. Better than that board I stuck between the branches of an old oak tree with the hopes to add on one day. It was a good reading/picnic spot until the pincher bugs took over.

A rope and pulley! How exciting is that?

This looks supremely cozy. Love all the natural light.

Perfect nap place!

I love this! I am so going to make one of these for a future backyard. Looks comfy and peaceful.

You don't have to have kids to build a treehouse do you? Good. Photos by Jean-Marc Palisse

Pretty, pretty, pretty, good.

Whenever I saw/read something cool today I kept hearing a man's voice in my head saying, "pretty, pretty, pretty good". I couldn't figure out who's catchphrase this was. I thought maybe it sounded like my friend Janel's Papa Frank who we lived with this summer in Burbank. Then a few minutes ago I realized it was Larry David! I haven't even watched Curb Your Enthusiasm in over a year (which is sad). Anyway, I'm glad I got that figured out. Here's some youtube proof I'm not (that) crazy.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Cool Fish!

Video of this fish with a transparent head was just released. It's the first time it has been photographed alive. Pretty neat!

Scary pizza dream!

So I miss my nephew. It's been two months almost since I've seen the funny four year old. I was just remembering a dream he told me about and it made me laugh.
We were playing one day over Christmas break right after he'd taken a nap and he said:

Oh, Cass I had a dream! We were eating at a restaurant.

Who was?

You and me.

What restaurant were we at?

You know, the main one.

Oh, the Mexican one?

No, pizza.

So what happened?

There were big scary monsters everywhere! And a dinosaur! And there was a big
clock.

A big clock?

Yeah, on the table! Mom (calling to his mom), I still want pizza, k?

Haha, his dreams make him hungry just like mine do:)
