With a Spring in my Step!

  
listening to: A Prairie Home Companion
9 moons ago: 31/8/06: It was a Monday. Garfield hates Mondays. I can really get behind that.

Thought I’d take you on a mini-tour ’round the garden today, with photos:

And because it’s good to have balance, I bring you a white-trash moment.
-The broken toilet bowl we replaced a few months ago, tucked away in a neglected part of the fernery:

But I won’t leave you with that image, funny or fitting as it may be… because I figure most of you would prefer to have a picture of a cheerful daffodils in your head, when you leave this site, rather than a busted-up ghetto toilet.

The view from our bedroom window:

I’ve been waiting for these…ahh, lovely!:

Noticed that it’s a full moon tonight..on the 9th! (My lucky no.) Happened to see the beautiful reflection of the moon on the surface of the pond tonight. It was all shimmery and a swirly liquid light against the deep indigo darkness, since it was rainy and blustery. So cool.

Things are pretty busy at the moment, but my next goal is to draw and paint more of these sorts of things! Till then…

    Is that your full name? The colleague of mine that went to Melbourne showed us pics of her trip; it’s a beautiful city!

    Thanks, Sarah! I’ll email you sometime soon! Hope you’re all safe and sound over there in London..I’m sure the recent events have everyone a bit on edge! Tell ‘The Brother’ hello too. Take care and we’ll be in touch!

    Kirsten, nah! He he..that’s just one of the many endearing names that Foxie calls me. However, when I was little, my uncle’s nick-name for me was “Amereeno”!
    Great about your friend. Yes, it’s a beautiful city. Similar to Philly, with a mix of old and new buildings, and actually built with Philadelphia as the model.

    Robin,
    Thanks! Yes..it really does feel good to get out in the garden and get my hands dirty! Glad the energy translates so well.

    Hi Sister Hoocha Coocha Ding Dong The pictures are beautiful and make me wish I had some views like that looking out my window in Dallastown.

    I was hoping you could do me a favor and post a website on your blog. It is http://www.letssaythanks.com

    This website is a way that anyone can send a card with a message to troops in Iraq. I know that there are many feelings regarding the war and our (United States) involvement. But the truth of the matter is the troops are there from all over the world. I can not imagine what it is like being so far from home and my loved ones. This is a way to add cheer to their day and express your own feelings.

    Check it out!

    Thanks!
    Sister Chrissy

    Thanks, Sister Chrissy!!
    Hope you are well. Speaking of letters, I really need to write you a letter! I’ve wanted to for a while now…got all that nice stationery too! Try and keep cool up there!
    Take care,
    Sister Hoocha Coocha Ding Dong

    (I haven’t been called that in years! Hee)
