*** something wonderful ***

yesterday i found a glazed chocolate donut in my mailbox..

yes really!
it was in a little bag
no explanation
it just was sitting there...
i love the thought
&
i love a chocolate glazed donut
YUM!!
but it went in the garbage...
i can't just eat random food i find in my mailbox..
i have to draw the line somewhere right??!?!?!

then today it was garbage day..
someone rolled my 2 overflowing cans of garbage to the curb..
have no idea who..
my garbage man has never done that..
maybe a nice neighbor?
or
the little fellow that lives behind the door in my walnut tree?!?!


all i know is something wonderful is blowing through ..
maybe our early snowfalls have cleansed
my house
my spirit
my small spot in this world..

i believe & continue to believe
in dreams.. karma.. angels.. fairies
i am hoping i can entice it to stay!!



little blue houses are on my mind..
* sunset on colbalt lane *
up for grabs here..
enjoy!

why not?

you see things; and you say, 'why?' but i dream things that never were; and i say, "why not?"

yikes!!!

*** i love a birthday party ***

as long as it's NOT mine!!
HA!
not so much because of age..
but i don't like all eyes on me...
i'd rather be in the birthday chorus...
i was maybe...5 in above photo..
this may have been my surprise party where i ran
&
hid in the shower
or
the time i hid under the table at farrels when the drums &
singers marched over to our table!
i was terrible
still am about celebrations like that
BUT
only if it's mine
i love to celebrate with others!

on sunday we celebrated my little niece ellas 5th birthday..
what fun!!
ooooodles of silly little kids ..
i was the face painter ..
until i hired my protege audrey to take over..
she did excellent don't you think??

fun day!!
happy 5th sweet ella sofia
love you!!

enjoy!

*** marley ***

so mister marley is on my mind..

my brother & sister -in-laws
loyal chocolate lab...
i adore this dog..
he is a loyal.. howling ..silly old man!

i have this crazy thing for his little white beard
..i love when dogs get those white whiskers..

so when i painted this chocolate fellow
i obviously had marley on my mind.. it isn't him..
or
did i mean for it to be him
i was just doing my thing
&
walaaaa

a loyal.. whiskered.. chocolate.. love

you know the drill
i just listed it
click to bid

it has been raining for a few days now..
i complained about it still feeling
warm & summery
i need to shut my big trap!!
ugh
now it is dreary..cold...
& well
it happened....
fall is here!
crisp ...yet wet fall!!

i think i have had a fire going non-stop for 3 days ..
i love a fire but
unfortunately my furnace is farkling!!
i know can you believe it??
what timing
i had a guy out yesterday to take a peek
he basically taught me how to jump start it!!
& well ..
he left & 20 minutes later
i had to jump start it
&
nothing.......
he said he didn't know how many
times i could get it to fire this way..
i guess
just
once!!

but fire is such a good thing..
it is toasty..
feels
like cuddling
:)

so just a little hurdle ...
until it is fixed
i have 2 big furry dogs to continue to cuddle!!

hope you are all feeling toasty..

enjoy!!
