have an awesome weekend.

here is an awesome avett brothers video (they are on tour right now and supposedly putting on an incredible show) for you on this sunny friday afternoon in hopes that you'll have a totally awesome weekend.

weekend in pictures.

the three-day weekend was a good one here in chicago-- met with friends old & new, and filled our days with pretty things. . .

fresh flowers from the wicker park farmer's market

along with beautiful food, of course: raspberries from nichols' farm, shelley beans and sweet one hundred tomatoes.

on labor day we drove to evanston to go have a picnic on lake michigan, but since we didn't have passes, nor did we have cash, couldn't get in. i told johnny we had to make lemonade out of the sour situation, and plopped a picnic on the grass. this dude came and sat with his laptop, which was a picture worth snapping, i thought.

and here is a nice shot of johnny, happy that he finally convinced me to play catch, baseball gloves and all. every weekend should be a three day weekend, my friends.
