the month by iPhone :: May 2015

I don't understand how this year is flying by so fast! didn't it just start? now we're at the beginning of summer and nearly halfway to 2016! how is that even possible?

May started with a drive down to Madison to see some friends for a day, and other than that, it's been a lot of planning and preparing at both jobs for the summer!

Luna looks so pretty after getting a full clean! I don't really have a messy car to begin with (as there's nothing in there), but I absolutely hate cleaning the floormats. Thanks, Brian!

I had to drive down to Madison on the second for a fundraiser at the Goodman Community Center. The part of the center that we were in looked to be new, but this other building looked like it use to be an old train station. Those steel beams in the upper picture are above the playground, which was really fun. (:

I bought this candle from Target, and I just love it! It smells just like the Victoria's Secret PINK fragrance that is supposed to smell like whipped cream. I also love how bright the candle is when it's burning.

I love this tulip standing alone.

the beginnings of cherry blossoms.

I think that the road was open by the time that they took this picture, but my point was that there weren't any "road closed" or "road work ahead" signs giving any warning until you were less than a block away from the road work...

new Walter's Dogs paintings!

I just love this skull shirt, not that you can tell that it's a skull in this picture.

I don't often park next to other cars, but when I do, it's probably another Beetle.

my new cow friend. all of the other cows were just lounging around, but this one stood up when she saw me taking pictures.

more cherry blossoms, a little bit more than a week later.

vintage giraffe cocktail stirrers!

from "Gus" Klenke Garage in Ellison Bay

two vintage chair pictures in three hours because I can't help myself. this one is for sale at a thrift store in Sturgeon Bay.

$333 - a sign from above <3 <3 <3

Bruiser likes me (:

just normal things at the Y...

I felt kind of like a human x-ray. to quote my friend Charlie Cheney though, "It's what's inside that counts. Bones are very important."

whiskey and butterflies. {Tattly tattoo here}

21/52 2015

...and the craziness starts now! these next three weeks or so are just going to be super crazy, and then the summer is going to fly by! I don't want it to, but that's what's going to happen as it always does. I will try my best to slow down and enjoy as many moments as I can.

Thursday 21 May // day one hundred fifty-one :: new phone case. Frenchie love! (:

Friday 22 May // day one hundred fifty-two :: Luna at a blooming cherry orchard. {orchard photos here}

Saturday 23 May // day one hundred fifty-three :: one of my sweet friends was up for the weekend, and his mom just passed away, so he brought some things with him for his friends up here. I never got to meet her, as far as I can remember, but this little coin purse was hers. isn't it darling?

Sunday 24 May // day one hundred fifty-four :: it's really hard to take a picture of your shoes showing your socks.

Monday 25 May // day one hundred fifty-five :: I drove all the way up to the tip of the peninsula, and I only stopped in Ellison Bay to take some pictures at "Gus" Klenke Garage, which is an abandoned car garage. {more pictures here}

Tuesday 26 May // day one hundred fifty-six :: dentist appointment this morning!

Wednesday 27 May // day one hundred fifty-seven :: I can often be found sitting on the floor.

"Gus" Klenke Garage

I made the trip up north on Memorial Day, just as I did last year. I always have to laugh at all of the traffic heading south to go home because there are always so many cars! I finally made it a point to stop at "Gus" Klenke Garage, which I always mean to stop at but always end up passing. (Since the bank across the street was closed, it was the perfect place to stop.)

I loved peeking in the window and seeing that there is still so much stuff in there! I really wanted to go inside, but I know better than to trespass/break and enter.

I'll just let the photos do the rest of the talking here... I hope this building stays here like this forever.
