I don’t think I’ve ever showed you “the nook”.  It has been host to every chair in and out of the house…this round, we’ve moved out the egg and brought in the barcelonas from the bedroom.  They are working out nicely there for now.

It’s quite a popular spot for being so tiny.  We use it as an indoor front porch, where we can watch the neighborhood action, read a book, or simply enjoy the stars…no repellent needed.

It was a decorative area for the previous owner since the office was in the playroom….

Now, it’s just our serene chill zone in the treetops….

With the promise of fall coming…I expect to be spending more time here…with a big furry blanket….Mmmmm.

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?

I am SO ready to rock this look on Halloween….

You know you want one.  Freak out the neighborhood kiddies…heh.  Big plans peeps..big plans.   More later…..

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?

Steve Hermann’s Glass Pavillion is everywhere, and it sure deserves to be.  Treat yourself to the slideshow.

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……

Feeling sick yet?

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!

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.

The Smoky Mountains never disappoint, and we even got a full rainbow, that for a brief few seconds became a full double rainbow.  All I could think about is how I wished I had some of what he had while enjoying it.

Now, it’s time shake the Mica from our shoes.  There’s lots of laundry, weeding and general catching up to do….and it’s sweltering out.

We get an encore if he gets 100 fans on his Facebook page…I think we need an encore.

In case it’s too hard to read in the photo…..it says:
