I’ve been trying to harvest herbs this week to make pestos, herbed cheeses and the like.
Having a garden again after 2 years makes me VERY happy. Every time I had to buy rosemary at the store, I died a little inside.
Anyway, I got all my ingredients together for a rockin’ tabbouleh and when I went out to harvest the parsley….
Whaaaa? Why are there stems where my lush leaves used to be? Oh…well hello there!
It’s the very hungry caterpillar…I think he’ll be happier with the parsley than those old cupcakes anyway. In my last garden, dill was their favorite nosh, with the occasional parsley appetizer, but since my dill is done for the summer…parsley it is. Enjoy little guy..just leave some for me..MmmKay?

My constant rearranging of furniture outside has spread like a disease to the inside as well. The house is a disaster with chairs in the middle of rooms and the like. This incurable illness has a habit of moving in an ebb and flow pattern, so we’re flowin’ at the mo. I can’t show you much yet, since I’m still figuring stuff out, but I can at least share that Bucky is on the move….
No, I didn’t even bother to make the bed…that’s how bad it is…what’s next? A dirty sink full of dishes? Maybe. What of it?

Ever since I saw Roger Sterling’s new office on this season of Mad Men, I’ve been hunting the artist of that fab piece of op art. Then, when Freddy Rumsen joked about it, I figured the blogosphere would have it all figured out for me. NO. Surprisingly little response on the interwebs. I have not found the same image, only similar ones.

I only found one great post over at Art Fully Yours guessing it was Bridget Riley. She likened it to her piece “Loss”….
I also thought of this piece….quite similar…

I’m considering Edna Andrade as a contender as well……

There are a few other time appropriate possibilities….but these two gals seem to be the front runners to me…if you know..PLEASE share and educate us all!

You know how you feel about your bed when you come home from a trip? It’s heaven…there’s no place like home, and all that jazz? Yeah…me too. Lurv the bed.

Then you get sick. You find yourself there, not out of choice, but necessity…it becomes a little like a comfy prison. With each passing day that you are stuck, do you grow to hate it a little more…until it just plain disgusts you? Yeah…me too. Hate the bed.
