schools out!!

YA HOOOOOOO!!
remember how fun that was ..the last day of school...
the song from grease
you know the one
" schools out for summer "
keeps playing over & over in my head...
ha.. i will always loved that movie.. i even liked grease 2 ..
so i'm waking up early & going to the farmers market .. should be fun.. hoping to score some
yummy produce & some almonds.. the sugary roasted ones..
i love them but they tempt me to bite & i worry i may loss a crown!!
but i must have some... i must !!
HA

but here is the status of my mystery garden..

a quick peek

** my birthday with poo poo ***

so ... we had our big buddy Rocco aka poo poo for a whole week!! it was the greatest.. we all adore him he is such a big lover...

ruby has a crush on him ...she sneaks kisses

then herbie romps into the room & spoils the mood :)


i also turned 40 on Wednesday ... yep the big 4-0 .... i think it was more a big deal for others than it was for me.. i remember when i was a kid i thought of 40 as old.. no more pimples & i could wear high heels .. ..last week i woke up with a big pimple ON MY NOSE.. YIKES! there goes that theory & as for high heels... i rarely wear them & if i do it is for added high if my pants are too long ( i'm only a tad bit over 5ft ) or i have an event to go to .. which is rare ....
i think my friends were a little freaked as i am sorta the first of us to turn & my siblings may be freaked .. i am the youngest of 4 .... but for me .. i'm fine .. my favorite jeans fit ... which i am thrilled about.. my hair is almost all natural .. i stopped coloring it about 2 years ago & i have passed that horrible growing out stage .. or so i think.. ;) and well ... i feel as dopey as i did when i was a teen... but i own it now!!!
not to mention the big sweet saint i got to snuggle with all week when ruby & herbie weren't looking!!

... 40 is good .... thanks poo poo

*** funky tiles ***

so i absolutely LOVE fabulous funky handmade tiles..
last summer i found a local artist at an art fair & grabbed handfuls of these little
tiles ... just little shapes & letters ..
i took her magic .. sprinkled in my magic
&
waa la ....

cool huh?

it's our names.. sorta hard to see in photo..
~you can click image to enlarge photo~
i bought the dogs & cat names also with some paw print tiles ..
i don't know what i'm going to do with them ..

there was a bat on my house yesterday..
look ... sorta freaky .. sorta cool ...
it rained again today .. but the world is looking green .. there sits andy with his mountain dews... he's been sleepy ... living off caffeine these days .. hopefully things will mellow out soon..




ok
