Me and my boy.

A humongous flower pot at a garden center I visited on the way home.

Rosie is hiding under the bed as the storm rages but Kota lets nothing hinder a good nap.

Despite having enjoyed this wonderful day off, we have to remember those brave people who are not here to enjoy it with us. Marshall placed flags the length of the cemetery today.

A shot on my Canon of a baby Purple Martin, a bird I've developed a great interest in. More to follow next week on Lucent Moments.

Was pleasantly surprised at Artomatic today when I turned a corner and found myself in front of a wall displaying hunks in all their glory. So ladies, here a picture today just for you!

Yummy mulberries ate ripening fast and I'm munching them handfuls at a time. Mmmmmm.

It's day 3 and still the storm's rage on with continuous rain.

Raindrops glistening on plants after a couple of days of rain.

Oh Daniel! Another Skyfall trailer released today but still 6 months until we get to see the film.

It's been raining all day long and the plants are covered with sparkling jewels.

Sparkly phone and silver nails. Love my bling!

Working my shift at Artomatic as a greeter, checking IDs and issuing bracelets.

Sunset over the river at Front Royal.

I was lucky to catch this with my phone. Kota tried to sneak by one of the pea hens on our patio and they both startled each other. I think Kota was more alarmed than the pea hen. She just ambled off afterwards.

So if you visit Artomatic, look for my promotional poster on floor 9 as you come out of the elevator to show you the way to my wall.

Some great recipes in these books from Mum including an old recipe I've been after for ages from the '80's, Gypsy Tart.

Raindrops caught in a spiders web.

The peacocks roamed around Meadow House this evening with Kota keeping a close eye on them.

The tulips trees here are in full bloom.

The Wall is finally complete. Yay! More info to follow later on Lucent Moments.

Thursday, May 10th

Took a break from The Wall preparations so Kota and I could go hang out at Tractor Supply for a bit.

Rosie getting comfy on the bed.

I don't know what this shrub is but there's a lot of them and a wonderful heady fragrance is filling the house. Heaven.

Working on projects for The Wall. These are dogwood flowers.

Sunday, May 6th

We got a lot of my wall installed and I should have everything ready for us to complete on Thursday evening.

3 dinner bowls soaking in the sink.

Friday, May 4th

A break from The Wall tonight as some friends and I watch the Nationals eventually beat the Phillies on a perfectly balmy Spring evening.

I was greeted with gifts when I arrived at work this morning; Jose had found two books that he thought I would like and Jenn brought me in two coffees to try. How nice it would've been to just sit in my office and read my books with mugs of coffee instead of working...

Etching on my wine glass.

Jerry at Ace Hardware listened to my woeful tale of how I had been unable to get a piece of glass cut sized correctly and gave me this pane for free. And it fit!
