le weekend ...

 it's the end of another week....why is time flying so fast these days?

remember when half an hour was more than you could stand to wait for anything

and you would count the days to whatever it was you were waiting for

vacation, Christmas, the end of the week, a date or a visit

now a days time moves so fast there is no waiting it seems

so...

time again for the

sparkles to blind one, as the sun hits the water just right

they light up that side of the house so much it's hard to see sometimes

and it fills the room and everything in it with

light and makes shadows

that photo is of the sister and me when we were really little and we lived in Kenya

maybe I'll take a better picture one day

the blue vase is a birthday surprise husband got one day

when he had to go to the fix-it store for one more thing he needed to fix it 

whatever it was he was fixing and he has fixed a lot lately!

anyway

 we had wandered through the store ( another store not the fix it store!!)

 and I mentioned how much I liked that vase

and

 it was

 in fact

THE vase that set me off on the quest for blue vases that I went on a while ago

(phew!!!)

and I kept going

he remembered and stopped by and brought it home

because he liked it too

but the flowers that are still around are too small now to go in the big blue vase

so they will have to do for friday flowers I'm afraid

but it's

 Awesome

with a 

CAPITAL A

that they are still around to brighten up the place!!!!!!

have a great one everybody

whatever it may be!!!

itch to stitch...

so I scratched....

listening to all my favourite songs collected on you tube... and going down memory lane

which, at this stage in life,

is a long one

!!!!!!!

see ya!

xxxxx

Phew!! that was close...

                                                   

...maybe too close....

but it's over now

 and we don't have to put up with the negativity,

the endless repetitive ads

the incessant drone of voices ever saying nought 

I am speaking of yet another election cycle

that seems to never end these days

as soon as they are elected

they start working on the next

the Commonwealth of Virginia has a new Governor

Terry McAuliffe

politico image

I am not in any way, shape, or form, a political animal

I'm not really even interested, though I know we are supposed to be

but being married to a "political junkie"

 I tend to shy away and ignore

!!???

but this one was scary

( because of who was running )

vewy vewy scarwy ....VERY

and to be honest 

very sick and twisted in how they think we should live and function

because they say so!!!

but now that it's over

 and they didn't get in 

and we won't be living in the 13th century under 

sick twisted misogynistic bastards

we have enough to deal with ,with those already here!!!!!!

this state is not exactly the most modern and forward thinking to begin with

so we don't need anymore backward thinkers telling us what to do...

now I am not stupid enough to think that who did get in 

can do much to change

anything

but that is the world and we just get to live in it best we can

end of soapbox rant!!!

(my opinions are my opinions)

let's look at some pretty pictures 

my gentle giant is changing his cloak once again

husband brought home  what he thought to be

a  ready to eat

punkin' pie so I cooked it on Saturday

which was a very pretty day and if you squint you'll see a couple of ducks taking a stroll round the lake!!!

and I found this under the hutch ! 

(along with the dust bunnies who were coughing rather loudly)!!!!!

so I thought I'd make an autumnal one too

(to keep it company when it ends up under the hutch once again no doubt)

and sammy squizzel was waiting his turn under the bird feeder

the birds were going crazy flying in and out like jet planes and all sammy had to do was sit underneath

and wait for the dropped seed...

I'm using one of my own tutorials!!! for the crossed stitch stitch

(up there at the top of the page if you want it)

not sure I'll keep going

 as I can't settle on one thing

which is why I'm doing this too

it will be an 

"M"

!!!!

for 

"M:

:)

and the muffins are just out of the oven

so

 now that all's right with the world

well as close as it's ever gonna get around these here parts

it's off to put the kettle on

and get on with what's left of the day

hope you have/had a good one

and nothing was

anywhere near

new month...

I am so happy Halloween is over

 now it's time to get to the serious side of Fall

with this out the front

and

this round the back and side

and that across the lake

and

these

on the table

and this yarn 

(which had to be frogged and re-wound)

how

 can I let 

the mother of all headaches

(that is caused by the friggin' weather over us at the moment

and makes me want to shoot myself or something else)!!!!!!

stop me from being in 

Autumnal Bliss

it can't...

Happy Friday...

Happy leaves flowers and yarn

oh my!!!!!

and  have a good weekend

everybody
