As many of you know, last Tuesday was my last day of school for the monsoon season summer. Since then there have been only two days that it hasn’t rained. And by rain I don’t mean the soft sprinkles that make my flowers bloom and the buds glisten with raindrops. I mean rain. As in my freshly laid mulch (which btw I shoveled myself with assistance from the hubs) is now floating in my yard. The poor dogs have to take turns rowing their dog canoe to the tiny island way in the back where they can do their business. You should see a min pin rowing a canoe; good times my friends, good times. And my flower bed? Let me tell ya, I just went outside and it looks like an Amazonian rain forest. Between the weeds that appeared out of nowhere and this monster vine that I swear to God would pull me in restrain me and ingest me if I got too close, it looks like giant snakes and tigers could live in there. I’m pretty sure I heard a spider monkey screeching while I was standing on the patio…
I’ve been on the hunt for a bright pink blazer for what seems like an eternity. When I happened upon this pink kimono at H&M online, I figured it would do the trick for now. It’s not like I wear a lot of blazers during the monsoon season anyway. Like with any kimono, adding it to something as simple as a white tank and denim shorts takes the outfit from something I’d mow the yard in (um, ya, minus the wedge sandals of course) to something I’m not embarrassed to be seen in public in.
