    Tea with the birds

    June 5, 2012 - By 
    As I sip my yummy iced tea (from the bargain bin, $0.75 baby) and make my Target list,
    I hear a curious sound.
    Rustling in the serviceberry tree.
    The Cedar Waxwings have returned….
    They come every year to pick it clean.
    I think they are so beautiful.
    What I don’t think is so beautiful are the messes they leave everywhere. Apparently those berries go right through them. Sorry…TMI.

     

    Gracie is very entertained.
    What more could a cat want….warm sun to lay in while watching dozens of birds right outside the window.
    What are you doing today?
    Obviously Target is on my list…as well as stopping by my friends Tea Tuesday blogs.

    Quote tip-in

    I have a passion for words. Quotes especially. I find myself making more and more quote tip-ins. I guess that means I’ll need to put together another book one day.
    We’ve been watching the Hatfields & McCoys mini series.
    I think that’s what brought out the photo.  It’s actually from an old Reminisce magazine. My folks used to get that one…I’ve saved some of them since they have such fun stuff inside.
    Thanks to Elizabeth for the awesome handmade paper behind the photo. She makes the best handmade paper I’ve ever seen!

    Busy, busy end of school

    June 1, 2012 - By 

     

    Ever have one of those weeks that you have all planned out way a head of time…then when the week begins you completely forgot that you had a zillion things to do?? That’s been my week. I think the 3 day Memorial Day holiday weekend was what started me off on the wrong foot. Monday turned into Tuesday in the blink of an eye.
     Tuesday I was a bit under the weather…allergies and such.
    Wednesday was filled by inventory at the school library.
    Yesterday I got to go to the Arboretum as a chaperone for Little J’s class. I really love it there. We should really get a membership…but I digress.
    The girls enjoyed the Japanese garden…
    especially the koi.
    I enjoyed a moment of quiet serenity myself.
    But we can’t forget about the flowers…
    So many beauties.
    It was hard to choose which to share.
    This was my favorite floral photo of the day.
    Soft and dreamy…and pink!
    Today will be my “catch-up” day.
    The team of fairies I wished for at the fountain never showed. A girl’s got to dream, right?!?!
    How are you preparing for summer?
