Wolf moon

I cannot tell a lie. My husband took this photo. He's been taking a lot of them lately and I've happily given up the camera because he looks forward to seeing how the photos turn out. No, I'm not jealous or secretly hoping that his photos aren't as good as mine. I'm glad they make him happy. Not much does, these days you know.

Yellow

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

~ Coldplay

My thought for today

People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.

~ Salma Hayek

Favorite Things: Diffuser bottle

I walked into the kitchen just now to get another drink. Of water. Ok, of vodka, damnit. And surprisingly, the sun had just broken through the clouds. It's been days since we've last seen it. And then I noticed the little decanter that sits on my windowsill.

Look how pretty it is.

It's a reed diffuser bottle that I'd received as a gift from Adrienne this holiday. Oh, and Lorraine, if you're reading this, please don't tell her that I dumped out the liquid that was in here. It just didn't smell right. I do love the bottle, however.


So I went online and got this one instead.

I think Adrienne will be happy for me.

Dontcha think?

If you're hoppy and you know it . . .

Clap your hands! My husband took this shot of a bluejay hopping from one bench to another in our yard yesterday. I think it was a pretty dern good capture, if I must say so. And he relucantly agreed to let me publish it.
Sorry I'm posting so late today. I've been cleaning and I think we all know how much I adore that. This house is huge (see post below) so I've decided to only clean half. I can live with that this week.

Skywatch Friday: Coming home

Imagine what it would be like to be coming home to a house like this? Maybe there's a fire going in the fireplace, and dinner cooking on the stove, the scents filling the entryway.

I don't know. It would just be nice.

To visit skies from all over the globe, go to Skywatch Friday. You'll be so glad you did!

Tenacious tree

I think this tree's got it. I mean, it looks like it's hanging in there pretty well.
