i see red white and blue things. and a cat.

she's baaaaccckkkkk....

sorry for the crazy long absence...but I was busy MOVING AGAIN!!! not so easy to get it Just Right. This is better than before and I can stay here longer. Not forever, but longer.

Anyway...in honor of the 4th of July I looked around for some images with red white and blue. and the cat was too puffy and cute to ignore.

a little libation

after my day of traffic sitting, plant shopping, Kentucky Derby crying (it's always very emotional for me), and container planting, I deserved a nice cool beverage out on the veranda (well, the concrete slab)...

sunday shadows....

i know, i know, it's Monday. i'm a little behind.

with the trees newly leafed out, now I get a lovely view of leafy shadows against the house at the back of my yard...

happy pansy faces

i couldn't stand it anymore...seeing sunny daffodils and happy pansy faces all over the place...I had to have some of my own. so finally broke down and bought just enough plants to fill two containers. my normal tendency is to buy WAY more plants than I EVER get around to planting, and I'm trying VERY hard in this smaller space to control that. the little yard is way too small to allow to get messy and cluttered.

anyway. here is before and after of this morning... (click on images for more detail)

kitty in the window

it was a lovely evening...Caleb and I sat out back for a bit...I finally got some of my outdoor chairs from my ex-husband's house this weekend. janey sat in the window and watched us.

miss jane

life feels a little surreal right now. my commute has gotten CRAZY long...it seriously cuts into my "life" time....so things I love doing have been pushed off the burner for awhile. wish I could do something fun while sitting in traffic. something better than listening to the radio or audio cd's or talking on the phone. at least now that it's staying light later, I have a little time after I get home where I can get OUT and see the world.

a funny time.

here is miss jane from this morning. a lovely portrait of her...it's killing me that it's not more sharp. but it just so captures HER.

the view from where i sit

sorry this so resembles the last post, but i looked over and saw caleb and jayne on the sofa...and it was just too sweet to pass up.

people always ask if my dog and cats get along. these pictures would probably answer their question.
