...my parasol, my elephant, & my gold bowtie

Must get my affairs in order before I traipse about the Mad Tea Party...

Lobster Lock Earrings? Check.

Retrieve my bracelets from tree? *jump* *higher!* Check.


My own tea things stashed under my hat? Check.


Another bracelet?? Check.


Ok. Even more bracelets? Check.



And couple dozen flowers for my hair? Check.


Oh! Oops! Musn't forget my elephant loves earrings too...

...wonders that make it okay, not being able to fly

Playing dress-up

Flowers left alone that are gorgeous close-up

A sleeping puppy (with its tongue sticking out)

Surviving this crash



Treasures in school parking lots



Stumbling upon a historical cobble-stone street



Adults who refuse to grow up


The romance of crashing waves, flaming sky, setting sun, everything happening all-at-once

...A Mad Tea Party! Come say hi

Mad hat, tea things... all accounted for.

...a mysterious owl flying by

My heart's racing so much it's insane. I'm captivated. More magic.

..rhyming words waving bye-bye?

All of my post titles, so far, have been deliberately connected to the blog title. I'm considering not doing it quite so often anymore. Hmm...

I've missed my baby blog. I was busy mostly making poor choices that muffled my creativity. Therefore, I was unable to nurture my past premature creative endeavors. But I'm back.

This week has seen nothing but rain.
Perfect! :)

"Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain"

I am completely in love with the rain. It overflows with romance, peace, excitement, inspiration, movement, love...
I am my 'mostest' in the presence of rain. Even as a kid the rain had me writing these cute, silly poems. Here's one from when I was 10. :)

Raindrops

It’s raining; raindrops begin to fall.

The cold wind comes to chill us all

As the birds go hiding in the trees,

The raindrops begin to fall on me.

I’m singing, I think I like the rain to stay.

The heat is gone, I’m cold and gay.

I think now I should get much wetter,

For this will make me feel loads better.

xoxo

God is in the rain.

...afternoon playtime puppy-fied!

Monet totally helping himself to Gucci's bone.

Gucci intent on getting it back.

The cutest! Gucci means business. :))


The victor in his signature pose (looking away). Monet's so fashionable. :)

...suspicious rainbow waving HI

Weather round here's been crazy these past few days. Been raining hard and today it was finally accompanied by ultra-sharp lightning and bellowing thunder. I swear I felt the house vibrate.

I spent the last two days:
1. finger painting
2. cutting pictures
3. drawing
4. making stickers
5. designing

It fits the weather perfectly. I was talking all week last week how I miss being a kid and voila! I get to [kinda] relive it this week.

Rain always reminds me of my loaded gun. Kiss kiss, bang bang.
