Witchy Woman

I am so excited that blogger is working again! I was going to post this yesterday, so I'm really glad it finally got fixed.





I love how these photos look a bit eerie. I was hoping they would come out this way! The last time I wore this skirt the photos were equally as creepy, haha.
This is actually my next door neighbors house; they just moved out so I am free to peek in their windows as much as I like! Tahoe is really quiet right now. The summer crowd hasn't arrived yet so there are lots of empty houses.

There is one exciting thing going on though; the AMGEN race! It is one of the biggest bike races in the world, and the first stage is right here in Lake Tahoe. It is supposed to snow on Sunday, the first day, so hopefully all of the bicyclists will be ok and not slip on the roads. If only they made chains for bike tires! I am really excited to watch the race, I think it is going to be amazing to see!





Do you have any sports that you love watching?

Spring-a-ling

Spring is here in Lake Tahoe! I know my last post was all about blizzards, but, as they say, in California "if you don't like the weather, wait a day", because it changes all the time. It has been warm enough for t-shirts, late night walks, and lots of outdoor beer drinking. Last night our neighbors dug out our fire pit and had a 70's themed barbecue, complete with fondue, ponchos, and benches carved into the snow. It was so delicious!

The snow has been a little gross (ie a sticky death trap) lately because of the changing weather conditions, so I've been snowboarding a lot more, because every time I've been skiing in this slush I've wanted to go way too fast and, well, results haven't been pretty. In the skiing world we call the type of fall I'm fairly well known for around these parts "yard sale-ing" because your skis, poles, and other possessions (sunglasses, errant gloves, change, your car keys) end up getting strewn out over the mountain. So, snowboarding it is for the near future!

I was so excited to pull this dress out of my closet because it is so perfect for this weather. I love how it looks paired with brown. I got it at a thrift store in Reno and altered it because before it was a maxi dress. I still can't pull off the maxi look, as much as I desperately want to! The rest of the outfit is thrifted too. One of the other ski instructors provided me with a beautiful new addition to my charm necklace, a crystal that he picked out for me and welded wires to so that I could wear it on a pendant. It's absolutely beautiful, and it's funny that I've been wanting a crystal for so long and then one came across my path!

What have you been doing to enjoy the weather and celebrate spring?
