Hi-Ya...c'est une Friday fantastique...!!!!!

there is no reason to have bobby rydell singing

Sway

as you read  or look at this post

but it's one of those days

and it came on the radio as I started writing this post

so push play and sway as we look at how very

VERY

 pretty the

garden looks right now..

even though we are in the middle of a heat wave

...already!!

with all the rain and cool weather we've had

 it's all just

bloomin luverly 

the friday flowers this week are courtesy of

mother nature

and not the store

and at the very end you will find that

giant doily I have been making

it isn't blocked

it isn't a very pretty picture

yes it's on the floor

but HEY

it's done

play this when your significant other walks through the door

and

sway

it's

friday

have a good weekend

:)

 ciao

the front

the back

the side bed

the front side bed

moth flowers

dogwood and blue

a volunteer daisy plant....squee!!!

an Appalachian sun drop/butter cup/very yellow thing 

a very very very old rose bush my youngest bought me a very very very long time ago

and the never ending doily...

that is finally ended

end of the week...

it's been a horrible week for so many
so many tears and heartbreak
I didn't realize it's been a week since I last posted
.....
seems to be a habit of late
I have done nothing of consequence or interest
so I have nothing but photos of

the never-ending doily

that has turned itself into a small cloth

I am plodding along with it

can't give up now!!!

needed to make something fast and quick and now

because .... well just because

!!!!

 I've made two so far

!!!!!

and because it's already summer

well it will be after Memorial Day here...

we had a change of scenery in the bay window

 I put three of the doilies out

:) :) :)

see how big it got????

have a good weekend peoples

and take care

:)

a new vase for the friday flowers

some time ago 

I decided I wanted a 

"turquoise"

vase for the living room

when I was on the 

colour  the  place  up  a  bit 

 coz  it's too  dark  and  drab  

frame  of  mind

so I went on a search

and 

 so did 

husband

but our tastes do not mesh on things such as this

I am very particular about what I want to look at for the eons that I will have it

for I do have things that have been around for

eons 

ages even

that are

 old

ancient

superannuated

(no... I didn't use a thesaurus)

getting on

decrepit 

along in years

and husband is too

choosy that is

and quite truthfully

we are along in years and superannuated  too !!!!!!!

:) :) :) :) :) :)

so I made it known that I would be choosing said item

nicely of course

politely

gently

but pointedly

(coz the things he was looking at and showing me

 made shudders run down my spine!!!!

sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!)

anyway...

short story long!!!!!

 I waited and looked a little 

here and there 

and

 every so often

because getting a new vase is not important 

not one little bit

not at all

it is the lowest thing on a list of things far more important

I found something on Etsy that would have filled the bill very nicely

but when I decided to go back and get it

someone had beaten me to it

so I hope they enjoy their very nice new

"turquoise"

vase

long may it hold their Friday Flowers

then fate steps in......

(or to use my favourite expression lately......

some bloody effing bastard 

stole my credit card number 

ran up eight hundred plus dollars worth of crap

 from E-bay 

and caused me to wait 

a few days more)

but

I fooled them

husband needed a hair cut

 so I waited for him in the useless craft store

that wasn't so useless

 that day

for in the depths of its

50% OFF shelves 

for all things living- room-ish

sat a vase

of the "turquoise" persuasion

waiting for me to find it

and find it I did 

so with

cheque book in hand

I marched up to the check out portion of the store 

 and purchased said

"turquoise"

vase...

while I tried to remember how to write a cheque!!!!!!

so that is why the flowers are up there  front and centre again today

which is

FRIDAY

again

and I understand completely if it isn't to your taste

we each have our own vision and version of

vases of the "turquoise" persuasion

so I hope you find one of your own this week end

or whatever it is your little heart desires

and may it be

50%  + off

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

the credit card problem has been taken care of and all is well

and all that is left to do is change everything everywhere and hope the beb's leave me alone

this is the second time it's happened 

and 

seeing as I don't do retail therapy that often

 (no I don't!!)

well

it's just annoying 

and 

very very

VERY

rude to steal what is not yours

and a second post today ....because....

 

 

 

....after posting the previous post

 

 

 

 

 

 

I found the whole lot of them together milling about...

not quite merging, but almost...

babies swimming hither and yon while the parents made sure they stayed close....

so tell me....

again....

how do they know who they belong to....

 

AND

there right in the middle is

Nanny Goose

with his new family

they are a bit smaller than the others so he is extra protective

such a happy sight

 

is it really 17 years already....YUCK!!!

 no,

not since I last posted

but since the

terrifying martian monsters were here

CICADAS

bugs from under the ground that come every 17 years to

emerge

mate and die

they 

"sing"

a trilling call

that when first heard 

sounds just exactly completely  like

UFOS

in cheesy UFO movies

it's horrible

HORRIBLE 

I tell you

they come out of these shells

YUCK!!!

I found this one half out

YUCK!!!!

DOUBLE YUCK!!!!!!

they are now everywhere

the cool weather has kept the numbers down but the heat is back so....

you have to step lightly when outside

or there is a stomach churning

crunch......

that sets me running for the cover

of the great 

INDOORS

to all things familiar

non alien

and

safe

AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

and if these are good for anything 

other than gliding and looking cute

someone hopefully has a big chance of 

many many 

 crunchy 

SNACKS

YUCK!!!!!!  YERK!!!!!!  ICK!!!!!!   BARF!!!!!!!!!

:) :) :) :)

(I don't do bugs)

(see how big the babies are ....they look like gooses now... not yellow balls of fluff !!!!

and they know how to "bottoms up" without choking!!!!)

happy day....mums....

t'was a beautiful   sunny    blue sky    kinda day

white puffy clouds floating overhead

swans 

silently

swimming by

my first born.....

the one who made me a mum!!!

with the ones who made me a 

grand-mama

caterpillars

toads

junglejims 

and swings

                   

OH MY!!!!!
