Fireworks in the Garden

Wandering around the garden I see fireworks.

Can you see it?

I can almost hear the snap, crackle, pop.

And now..the Grand Finale!

Summer Wind

The Summer Wind came rushing in......across the sound. 

What a perfect summer day. Sunshine (!), Sailing and Smiles.

Little Michael RIP

Another Childhood Icon Gone.
I have danced my butt off to Michael Jackson for as long as I can remember. I had a huge crush on him when I was 5 years old, glued to the TV watching him belt it out. I could never understand how my peers could prefer Donny Osmond. Come On! This kid had soul.



Tito, hand me a tissue...at least he is not in pain anymore.

Lovin' You Is Easy 'Cause You're Beautiful

I loved Charlie's Angels during my awkward years. Those women were so strong and independent. Great role models for a preteen and surely a far cry from Mrs. Cunningham. Farrah Fawcett's sex kitten image was emblazon on t-shirts worn by the cutest boys in middle school, until those shirts were actually banned for being too racy! Man, times have changed.

Sad to hear Farrah lost her battle with anal cancer today. What a horrible way to go but she did it with grace and strength. May that dazzling smile shine in the night sky for a long, long time. Inspiring others who have to fight the fight.

Whenever I hear about someone else dying from cancer, I get really pissed off. I hate cancer. So come on....let's go out back and kick cancer's ass! We can start HERE with nothing but a click.

Singing one of my fave songs from when I was in the single digits is Maya Rudolph's mom, Minnie Riperton, who also left this planet way too young. Notice how she sings Maya Maya Maya at the end, right before all the glass in your house shatters. Excellent.

Forget Me Not

Sorry I have not posted in quite some time 

I'll be back, just have been very busy lately. 

Enjoy the rain, plant some ferns!

They LOVE this weather and so do I!

Rainy Days and Mondays....

.....always make me want to sleep late.


I also get all reminiscent when it rains on Mondays and start singing The Carpenters, CLICK ON LINK, my mother was a big fan and I could see why...,with all that buttery Holly Hobby dressiness and lip-sync'd innocence. What's not to love? Perhaps Rainy Days and Saturdays?

Actually I love rainy days, means the planties are getting plenty of water-maybe too much these days....and this Monday made me happy because I am working with a crew composed of some of my favorite people on the planet and can't wait to play with them and food all day.

Mondays always feel like a fresh start too. Great time to embark on a crafty project, exercise program or sign up to volunteer!

Sad Eyes

I have been working a lot lately, and after the slowest 6 months in my career it is a nice change to be busy again. Good for me. Bad for Cheddar.
He is not happy. Some mornings he will not even make eye contact with me, like I didn't feel guilty enough!

Where the heck is the SUNday?

I was half-expecting someone to knock on my car window as I was creeping down the west side in this pea soup and ask..."are you the key master?"
Maybe we left the sun back in Wadi Rum. That rhymes.
Have not seen a decent sunset in a long time, guess you need the initial sun part during the day to make that happen.

THIS priceless beauty was the only bit of sunshine I saw in NYC. Check out my friend Kevin (he is also priceless) next to this yellow ware sink I have to have! Sunshine Day Dream! And I thought my yellow ware BOWL was cool. Hope the sun shines on you soon! Until then don't forget to drink your milk or take some vitamin D supplements.

Fleeting Beauties

Rain+Peonies=Tara Reid+South Beach  

or in other words...what a wreck!

Thankfully I had some down time while constructing our ark and took some photos of our peonies before the deluge wiped them out.

Until Next Year!
