.o.o.o

the camera is the infamous film killer.  i'm going to give it one more try before i realize why it was $1.99 at the thrift store. 
 
the flower is the very first gardenia of the spring.  the scent overwhelms me with its beauty and takes me right back to my childhood and my grandmother's front yard. 
it's tuesday and the week is going slowly.  the hours seem to be crawling by for no particular reason - like it's holding it's breath waiting so long for the exhale.  i'm not sure why that is - but it is a feeling that i have.

  2. Scents have that ability to take us places. And that sounds like a good one.
    Hope things improve with the camera. It does make a nice prop, though . . .

  7. I think today should be Friday. I agree that the week is going so slowly. I think it's because we're all ready for summer. Long Live Summer!

  16. oohhh...my grandmother had a gardenia, and whenever she "went to town," she would pluck one and put it on the dashboard of her car. That car smelled glorious.

    I absolutely cannot smell a gardenia without thinking of her.
