Peaches in the Summertime

Apples in the Fall

If I can't have Shady Grove

I'll have no one at all

Shady Grove, my little love

Shady Grove, my darling

Shady Grove, my little love

I'm bound for Shady Grove.

The sun was burning bright today, so I sought refuge in a little shady grove to keep the contrast at a manageable level, but I sure did appreciate that warm sun this afternoon when I went for my lunchtime walk! I've been trying to go for a walk around the neighborhood on my lunch break every day, since this gloriously perfect weather won't last long (and since I've stopped running out of blatant laziness, it's the only exercise I get these days).

I've been feeling really uninspired by my closet lately, which occasionally results in creativity and otherwise forces me to replay old favorites. I feel safe with primary colors :)

Speaking of feeling safe (or not safe), the impending Halloween holiday is putting me in the mood for scary movies! I'm kind of a wimp when it comes to thrillers, but I've been wanting to watch The Craft for weeks now--do you guys remember that movie? I think I'm going to add it to the Netflix queue (don't tell K). What are your favorite frightening films? The ultimate scary movie (in my opinion) is What Lies Beneath, although The Ring comes in a pretty close second (maybe I'm biased because I first saw these when I was a particularly impressionable teenager). I like my frightflicks to have an element of psychological mindf**k--no Scream 3 for me!
