Waiting for spring.

Buffalo has rather schizo weather each spring. A day or two here will be sunny and almost warm, and a day or three there will be cloudy and windy - maybe even snowy. I'm really looking forward to the warmer days ahead, when I can just throw on a lightweight dress and pair of sandals and call it a day. These photos are from Dave's cousin's wedding last July, when I employed just that sort of dressing technique. Here's hoping I can do it again soon!


The wedding was at the Botanical Gardens, which are beautiful. After the lovely ceremony, guests had the opportunity to wander the grounds before heading to the reception. Neither Dave nor I had been there in years, so we were glad for the chance to check it out and snap some totes awesome blog pix.

I was so excited to get a picture of this flower called "Confident Pride" (because that's hilarious), but realized later that it's actually "Confederate Pride," which is considerably less cool.

We found a twee mirror on our way out.

Spring, please come soon!
