Spring's Hottest Fashion Trend

This year's spring trends are surprisingly, very wearable. 60's coats, high-waisted flare jeans, mix-match prints, preppy accessories, citrus colors and (yay!) comfy clothes. But I happen to think that spring's hottest fashion trend is: the bump. It is the perfect accessory for any outfit or any occasion. I've put a couple of outfits together below.

Pool-party bump. Just toss a bump on with that bikini, grab your virgin strawberry spritzer and get your butt in the pool!
Tennis bump. The perfect add-on to a Nike tennis outfit for time on the courts during the first sunny day in months.
Wetland Restoration bump. When one is volunteering in the Tualatin wetland, one should always wear comfy, breathable shirts and durable jeans. And of-course, a bump.
College bump. What's the perfect accessory for a Easter Day walk around campus to see the nuclear reactor building? Why, a bump!

A fond farewell

So long toes, have a great summer. I'll see you all again in August.

The signs of spring

Blooming flowers, sunshine, warmer temps, the pasty white legs of Portlanders. All sure signs of spring.
What is the number one sign of spring at the Hoybook house? B, watching a mole hill form in the yard from the kitchen window. This is followed by him running out of the garage with a rake in the hopes that he will catch the little bugger. He doesn't and the mole lives to dig another hole, another day, but it had to be the funniest thing I've seen in a very long time. Thanks for the laugh honey. I'm sure the neighbors don't think you're crazy at all.
