fever and a rash


My son is in the hospital. What started out as
a rash and fever
has turned into a week long stay.
At least the hospital
knows how to entertain kids.
He has a flat screen t.v. and xbox 360. The remote is the screen by his bed with
a selection of movies to watch, cameras to see
what's going on around
the hospital, internet access and more.
He has a menu that he can order anything on it between the
hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Not knowing what is wrong with him sucks.
I hope they figure it out soon.
And we can go home.

the beginning

so i've started a little bird oasis
i realize that it may
not look exactly
like
this picture,
but in my head it does. . . .

a gift in the mailbox


I got home late after a movie to find a surprise
in the mailbox.
All rolled up and tied with a ribbon.
I opened it to find a
beautiful edward t-shirt.
I wish i was young enough to
wear it.
Had a good laugh when i tried it on.
My sister
always knows what i will love.

sweet lil roli

This is a sweet little boy
until he
gets mad
and bangs his head on the floor.
sigh. . . .

little fig tree

I dug up a piece of a fig tree from my aunts house.
It came from my grandparents farm
originally and it's growing
slowly but surely.
I love the smell of the leaves when i disturb them.
Nothing is better than
eating figs
picked fresh from the tree.
Patience is a hard thing.

estate sale

I stopped at an estate sale on my way home from work and

picked up a few cute things.

A vintage table cloth and a couple of table runners....

....some crocheted potholders in pastel colors.
Just perfect for me.

new projects

I went to Barnes&Noble and looked through some
magazines this weekend.
I found a few things i would really like to do
1.mason jars half way filled with sand, put a white candle in them to make lanterns, hang with wire.
2.make a large painting of cabbage roses for over my couch using the colors in the room.
3.use old chipped plates for a garden edging.
4.make a bird feeder out of a small milk carton, put a stick in the front for a perch, cover it with peanut butter then birdseed.
5.plant a pot of flowers to attract hummingbirds, then put up hummingbird feeder.

I think i will start with the bird feeders.
