~:: Oh, Say – Can You See? ::~
At risk of repeating stories (which I am destined to do till the day I die), I was taken – charmed – intrigued – when (as a little kid) I saw the movie Pollyanna. It was the 4th of July … Continue reading

~:: Have at Thee, Then ::~
First, can’t help shooting the yard again. This is SO May. Magic. People with diaphanous robes and flowers in their hair play here before we get up and after we fall asleep. Also skunks do. Shadows JUST LIKE SUMMER. Except … Continue reading
~:: Revels ::~
My theme: We always start the day with signs. Specifically this sign (above). I don’t remember when we started the signs – could have been twenty five years ago. And this was the first one I ever did, this design, … Continue reading
~:: Yorick – is that YOU? ::~
The day after all that last snow, we were supposed to be driving up to the city to watch Chaz take part in a CosPlay presentation (performed on an outdoor stage) as part of the annual Japan Festival. On Friday … Continue reading
~:: Now, where was I? ::~

~:: Rachel and the Elves ::~
note: I am extending the story challenge. Forget getting the egg for Easter. I will award it Friday and send it Monday. You have till Friday. Melissa, this means you. And Wabi – and several others of you who are … Continue reading
~:: Another Pony, and a Challenge ::~
Two things today, and I’m a little shakey with trepidation, trying this. First, I show you island horse. And daffodils. Then I talk about found design. Then a giveaway. Except not exactly a free one. It’s a challenge (this … Continue reading

*::Yule Shindig 2010::*
Every year, we have the same party. (see this and this and this and maybe this if you want some history – or repetition) It’s pretty much the only party we have anymore. And it’s a mean son-of-a-gun. We started it … Continue reading

~:: Tis the Season ::~
