[NANKI-POO]
The flowers that bloom in the spring
Tra la
Breathe promise of merry sunshine —
As we merrily dance and we sing
Tra la
We welcome the hope that they bring
Tra la
Of a summer of roses and wine
Of a summer of roses and wine
And that’s what we mean when we say that a thing
Is welcome as flowers that bloom in the spring
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la
The flowers that bloom in the spring

Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la la!

[KO-KO]
The flowers that bloom in the spring
Tra la
Have nothing to do with the case
I’ve got to take under my wing
Tra la
A most unattractive old thing
Tra la
With a caricature of a face
With a caricature of a face
And that’s what I mean when I say, or I sing
“Oh, bother the flowers that bloom in the spring.”
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la
“Oh, bother the flowers of spring.”

For some reason, editing this pic just made these lyrics start running through my head.  From Gilbert & Sullivans The Mikado, I probably haven’t thought about or heard this music in decades… but there it was, stuck on repeat in my brain.  It IS fitting… spring is burgeoning all around is, as my sneezing and watery eyes can definitely attest to!  This is when there a Kleenex in the pocket of everything I wear… ahhh spring lol!  But on SL, I can sniff flowers and frolic among flowering trees without issue… I love it!

  • Outfit:  Carol’s Store – Alba Blouse & Jeans.  Once again, I just love the little details, like the puckering at the bottom of the deep V & those 3 little buttons!  Choose from 10 single colors or a fatpack for the top, 10 single colors or a fatpack for the jeans,  or a megapack with all the options… keep in mind that the fatpack HUDs include a color-picker so you can customize colors to create something totally unique (which I did to darken the top to show a bit better in the pic)!  ORIGINAL MESH with materials enabled, Alba is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, GenX (Classic & Curvy), Lara+LaraX+PetiteX, Kupra, Erika, & Momma.  At the main store.  Demo available.

Breakdown

https://Breakdown

All dressed up and nowhere to go!  This is one of those outfits that just told me what it wants, and it definitely wanted a motorcycle.  It felt kind of “punky”, reminding me of how Sandy dressed at the end of Grease.  So much fun, and the details (see below)! Wow… (I’ll admit that I REALLY wanted some scruffy sexy male biker with me, but hey, you work with what you’ve got lol!)

  • Outfit:  V-Twins (Gothicat) – Tabitha.  So many details go together to make this look, from the cut of the leather jacket with its zippers, to the pleated skirt with its lace trim, wide leather belt & silver chains with a single dangling heart, the fishnet stockings, & the thigh-high boots!  Wow, I LOVE these boots! Sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy, & Maitreya+LaraX, Tabitha includes a multi-texture HUD for all elements, & is EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at the current round of Designer Showcase, open through March 20th.  Demo available.

Spring is in the air

https://Spring is in the air

I love the change of seasons.  They’re not as dramatic down here in FL as I experienced up in NY, which is a mixed blessing.  I don’t miss the cold and the snow and the ice, and we’re already having simply glorious days, but spring and autumn just don’t have the same edge as they did up north.  My body is happy about that; my mind, sometimes just not as much.  That said, spring is happening all over here on the grid, and I am just reveling in all the burgeoning color!  Enjoy!

  • Dress:  I.M. Collection –Rosabel2.  Dress, jacket & matching heels available in two versions — as shown or “reversed”, with a solid dress & a patterned jacket.  I just love both textures!

Sometimes you need to just take a moment and breathe… the crazier and more hate-filled the world seems to be, the more moments I seem to need in order to reach a single minute of serenity… breathe, just breathe…
