One Dark and Manic Evening...

I had magnets, bottle caps, paper scraps, mod podge, a drive to create and a need to be quiet.
Oh, and I had this strange glass syringe that my friend, George, collector of all things odd, gave to me years ago. I carried it around because it's curious; to the touch and to the mind. This night, it found purpose. Great, Grand, Artful Purpose!
I tucked and cut and tacked and then....
I sucked up MP with the syringe and :::pppfffttt::: filled my little bottle cap art creations, easy-peasy ♥

Someday, I'm sure, they'll dry (even in Oregon) and I'll show ya the finished amazingness!

Friday Fill-ins

1. She had a great pair of legs.

2. Hannah is by my side, always.

3. I know this: The only absolute is: There are no absolutes.

4. There's a lot to learn when I can be still.

5. These words apply to me: You teach best what you need to learn most.

6. My first day in my sunroom's corner, the sun was shining.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to still more treasures to be discovered in my unpacking, tomorrow my plans include unpacking and some of the Pride Day stuff and Sunday, I want to unpack!

Call me easily amused...

do people really buy 2-twelve packs?if yes, do they think they got a deal?
maybe I don't wanna know...

If I were a Faerie...

...I'd wanna live here! In this luscious green cove of the lilac bush.
As a kid, the inside of the neighbor's lilac bush was *the* place to be,
*the* place to see without being seen!
I think the faeries will feel the same way ♥ I've no close-ups of quality, so you'll have to zoom to appreciate: Buddha head gargoyle, stones from Hannah's place in the Yukon, bits of rock & stone from around the globe, petrified wood, ocean glass, Hannah's poodle guarding the door, ZoAnne's Amish lady with a goose (she has no face), sweet Kali, crystals, driftwood, nut hulls, sea shells, a red light, candles, and the all-important altarHere it's laden with sacred tobacco and a flower petal,
which happened to blow by at the right moment ♥
All under the sacred tinkle of the Shepherd's Belland the Buddha BellThere's Majik afoot!

Green are the baby morning glories I'm leaving for Bre at the Little House.
Some leaves are still "H"s, soon all will be hearts ♥
And she'll think of me with each blossom! I am so blessed!
Thanks Sandra for the gift that continues to bloom!

The only way to truly fulfill the purpose of any perfectly soft and green hill,
especially if you find yourself an energetic littler person
in the company of energetic friends,
is to roll down it, of course!Just ask Rowan and Marley ♥

Thematic Photographic - Green 2

I grumbled when I smushed my boobie into the new dresser's new paintjob.
Hayden said, "mom, it's an unschooling tee shirt, you should get paint on it!"
He's right. Grumbling? What grumbles?
LIFE is Good!
'specially in my green shirt with *new* blue accents!This is neither a gratuitous boobie shot, nor a gratuitous plug for my birthday party friend Mary's unschooling conference; it's both.

Our Welcome Sign is Green!
Scotty noticed our new home is also home to the Welcome to Corvallis sign
(or so it would say if *I* were in charge of it!)
...somehow the sign signifies our evolution to true Oregonians ♥I was very sad to miss both Dusk and Road thematics in the process of packing and moving!
This week shall be much easier;
because the acute part of the move is done
& because I got a new phone camera ♥

Birthday Sushi Party

I need to know how to say sock in Japanese!
So I can finally call this guy by his True Name
(Sockie-san just doesn't quite cut it for him!)He really is just the cutest thing ever!
He's not only dapper, his sushi is always the freshest!
Hayden quickly, and quietly, arranged a Welcome Party for him ♥
L to R:
Hayden's Buster, Hannah's Ginger, Hayden's Sammy the Spider Monkey, Sockie-San (distant cousin of Sammy), and Hannah's OG Sock Monkey
Thanks Carelia!
Her stuff is amazing, you should buy some!

House Progress

Thematic Photographic - Dusk

This week was tough, moving and ruminating about the move don't leave a lot of time for thoughtful photography. These were important to catch, with Carmi in mindSunset from my new front lawn....

I am *so* Ready!

Gemini Horoscope, today: You can feel a change in the cosmic weather, as if the breeze is picking up on a gentle spring day and a storm is blowing in. If you fearfully resist what's coming, you can tire yourself and have nothing of substance to show for your efforts. But if you are ready for this change, then the insistent winds can carry you far in the direction of your dreams.
