My little head is just stuffed full with all kinds of things I want to share

Creativity is fluttering from my heart right down to my fingertips

this is wonderful... but it does account for my lack of time for you

So many blog posts unvisited and e-mails waiting for applies

but I know you gals wont hold it against me

for every burst of artistic energy

there seems to follow with a drought

mine seem to come with the rain

and with living in the very green state of Oregon

it rains a lot!

So while the sun still hangs in the sky

I'm going to indulge

I'm a home body myself

I don't visit even my backyard that often

although that could be because it's really really gross and unloved

I hate working in the yard!

It's a terrible shame because greenery and flowers are so therapeutic an charming

but my thumb is pink not green

although I will say I don't mind pushing a lawn mower

A friend gave me this idea to cover a Styrofoam ball with ice-cream cone

I'm not honestly sure if ice-cream cones are even good for little birdies

I know I like them!

After 2 boxes however I ran out

so I opened my cupboard to see what I might use

and was quite tickled to find a bag of peanuts from Christmas

so I turned my star into a sunflower

and I think that was just a very happy accident indeed

I also thought I would share a picture from an article from Oregon Live

I've been lucky enough to visit this beautiful space a time or two

it's the product of pure genius and a lot of sweat

it's the backyard of my very dear friend Rolfe and his husband Stephen

I hope to one day take you on a tour of their home

it's breathtaking - I'd call it dirty grungy chic. It's wonderful!!!!!!

And last but not least one more page for my Wedding Scrapbook

the floral images were my inspiration torn from magazines

I'm so pleased that I kept them after all this time

Have a lovely weekend ladies!

& go... enjoy the outdoors
