Man, was last weekend beautiful. It was so beautiful, I decided to make an effort to do something outside that I’ve never done before. Even though I live in a big city with lots of things to do, I tend to repeat a few favorites. So last Saturday I actually went just outside the city to Traders Point Creamery. Unfortunately I missed the window for tours, but the ice cream bar was still open, and let’s be honest – that’s more important.

After I scarfed down some fresh, farm-made caramel ice cream, I got to see the cows getting milked! While the aroma was less than appetizing (I’m glad I ate first), I was glad to see that the cows were treated very nicely, and they even had some good background music. I guess all that “eat local” crap isn’t crap after all 😉

I was probably a little overdressed for a farm, but overalls aren’t really my jam. Plus I only have so many opportunities to bare my newly-chiseled arm muscles in a cute flowy sundress. Sun’s out, guns out!

For as much as I love mint green, and for as much as I love pointy-toed pumps, it took me an inexcusably long time to get mint green pointy-toed pumps. The problem was that last year I fell in love with a pair of Alice + Olivia mint pumps (they were this style), but they were $300. I couldn’t even justify that purchase now that I have a paycheck, much less a year ago when I was still a student.

But once I had seen the Alice + Olivia pumps, every other pair of mint pumps I found just looked like a steaming pile of dog shit, if the dog had just eaten a gallon of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Finally, I found these at Macy’s that were in my price range and looked remarkably like my long lost lovers! Same faux-snake skin texture and everything. Me and my mint green pointy-toed pumps: together at last.
