LOL. Betty...no nap...spend all of tomorrow's money, but help a deserving family. Sounds like a pretty good trade off to me. And now that you can't go shopping tomorrow, you could schedule a little nap in there. Ha, as if! Everything sounds wonderful, but I don’t know “rocket set”? The wolves are beautiful. I kill mums just by looking at them. I gave up on them years ago. I do like them though, so I think I’ll spend a little of my mad money and buy a few for the beds this year. I will think of them as annuals and so won’t mind if they don’t winter over. (Apparently, I will believe anything) Thanks for the inspiration, don’t know why this idea struck while reading about yours, but it did.

Laura….I know you are nervous but this day will not define you or shape the rest of your life. We won’t allow that. Picture the examiner in a budgie smuggler, if male and perhaps, if female, try picturing her pole dancing with appropriate attire for that. It may not help you pass, but you won’t be nervous! Besides, you are going to do just fine…and we love you.

Judy….baby blanket sounds perfect…can’t wait for pictures. I’m not sure what the problem is with my dahls this year. It’s raining now (Yes!) but I’ll take a picture of them tomorrow and show you. It’s weird. And speaking of weird. The pups and I were just sitting on the front porch. Even though it was raining fairly hard there were two goldfinches hanging upside down on the sunflowers, happily stuffing themselves with the ripe seeds. Then I saw a big bumblebee working the cleomes in the front porch bed. Whenever I’ve ventured out in the garden in the rain, (not often, granted) I’ve only seen the bees and bugs tucked under the shelter of leaves, waiting out the rain. I thought the bee being out was especially odd. Hope your spousal unit has/had a better day today. I love pulling weeds after a rain! It’s very satisfying to me when they slide right out, roots and all. So glad you have conquered them.

Shar…beautiful pendant. I love the colors. Very pretty. Really had hoped your back would have healed faster than it has. You really must try to move as carefully as possible while you are healing. And absolutely NO LIFTING. It is so easy to undo days or weeks of healing with one wrong move or by trying to do things before you are 100% again. Um...things like trying to get your house back in order. Behave young lady. Kentucky’s not that far….don’t make me drive down there and super glue you into that beautiful rocking chair of yours.

Hi gilli…best reason to be absent…..enjoying time with family and friends….glad to know you were MIA for happy reasons.

Hi, Liz…yes, all better, thank you for asking. Hope you are well?

Trop….hope you have appointed someone to document the birthday bash with some suitably embarrassing photos, which, of course, I will torment you about until you break down into a quivering bowl of tapioca pudding and post them just to shut me up ;o)

Today
Best? Rain!
Worst? Nothing, really.
Learned? How much I really care about each one of you.
