My friend Brita is awesome. Her blogging skills are something that I aspire to have. She recently has decided to read the entire Anne of Green Gables series by L.M. Montgomery. It's reminded me of my own love of the story. Anne of Green Gables has a very very special place in my life and heart. I remember watching our taped-off-of-T.V. versions of Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea all the time (that Continuing Story one was weird though, I didn't like it so much). I have very specific memories of watching it when I was five, shivering at the spooky ghost music when Anne and Diana walk through the "haunted" forest laughing as Diana screams uncontrollably when Anne falls into the well. I loved Anne (although for a brief period of time in my life, I thought that because Anne didn't like having red hair, I shouldn't either, crazy, I know, but that was the power of Anne). Not much later, I started reading the books. They are so incredibly wonderful. They are hilarious, touching, and beautifully written. I have read the entire series so many times that I have lost count. I wish I had all my Anne books here with in Utah, but they're back in Connecticut. Oh, I love them.

"i'm soorrry anne"
holy cow, i've totally been thinking about these movies lately.. and how badly i want to watch them!!
Let's have an Anne day. Let's find a blossoming apple tree to have a picnic under. Let's talk about our ideal melancholy men. Let's find the places that have a lot of scope for the imagination. Let's stroll down Lover's Lane and row on the Lake of Shining Waters.
Or at least have an Anne of Green Gables/Avonlea movie marathon.
p.s. i LOVE your music. i seriously get on your blog everyday to listen to it. it's like the perfect mix of the classics, new stuff that I am falling in love with, and some fabulous french songs.
