Mouse loves balconies. Mouse, in fact, loves a broad interpretation of balconies and has counted several windowsills as such over the years. Any time she can, she will sit and stare off the balcony and watch the people. On the beach vacation with Mouse's mom, the best part was all the completely un-self-conscious people, many many many of whom (regardless of age, tan, size, language) seemed to be very deeply in love. They walked around in pairs,* mooning at each other. Mouse looked off the balcony and took these photos because they made her feel hopeful:


Happy weekend, hopeful lovey mice.

*Like penguins.
