globally minded
Perhaps it's because I haven't had my passport stamped in so long, but I'm fiending for some global decor. As in globes and world maps...

Tulipomania
During our weekend walks, Cookie and I couldn't help but mourn the end of tulip season. Their colorful lollipop tops are gone, save for a few beat-up looking stragglers that are fighting a losing battle against the brutal Oklahoma winds...

Some spectacular photos of Dutch tulip fields have circulated through the inboxes at my office, and I just have to share these from the Daily Mail:
Aren't the fields magnificent? The tulip fields look like modern rugs, with bold color blocks in warm hues, like Paul Smith's Stripe rug from The Rug Company:
There you have it: more than you've ever wanted to know about tulips!

A Semper Augustus tulip, the most prized tulip for its unique candy-cane like stripes.

Happy birthday, Cookie! and a Happy Earth Day to all.
I'm not one to pay attention to dates, but I realized this morning that today is not only Earth Day, but also Cookie's second birthday! Alleged birthday, that is...

If only Cookie would tolerate head wear, I'd make her a party hat inspired by this one:
Rupert the Turtle's third birthday, hat design by yours truly.
Or maybe a beret à la mode de Rupert's top hat, comme-çi.
Unfortunately, she's not a fan. Look at those eyes. 100% pure misery.

Spring at last!
I emerged from this painfully frigid winter a grumpy, lumpy woman, pale and starved for sunshine...

Cookie would totally try to catch (and destroy) this bird. "Try" being the key word.
This tree looks like Maleficent's dragon on Sleeping Beauty... Do you see her?
Mmmm, sunsets.
It's not every day that you see blossoms sprouting out of a tree limb.
More on tulips soon.

Hello, my name is _______________
(Please note that this blog has officially moved to to our new blog, cookieandkate.com! We hope to see you at our new home!)
Kate. Truthfully, it's Kathryne, but I decided "Cookie and Kate" has a nice ring to it, like cookies and cream. Plus, I prefer the anonymity that comes along with using one of my many nick-names rather than my own first name. So hello, my name is Kate.
I'm writing this post from a couch in my light-filled second floor apartment, which overlooks green trees covered in fledgling leaves and the rooftops of historic homes in Norman, Oklahoma. I live here with a silly litte gray-and-black spotted dog named Cookie. Cookie is an ornery little girl who wouldn't get away with everything if it weren't for her floppy, mismatched ears, big brown eyes and funny raccoon-striped tail, which is going thump-thump-thump against the cushions. Hello, Cookie.
I'm attempting to make some ch-ch-changes in my life, and I'm trying to set my priorities straight: to spend time doing what I love, and to let go of the rest. Easier said than done, but hell, I'm trying.
My hope is for this blog to help me reconnect with two of my long-lost loves, writing and photography. My second goal is to discover the underlying themes in my latest interests and to share what I've learned with you*, because I don't want to hoard all the good stuff for myself. I do hope you'll join me as I explore photography, design, nutrition, plant appreciation, bicycles and whatever else tickles my fancy. Enjoy!
Here's my Cookie on Monday:
