Tallulah-Palooza Memorial Day

Tallulah Mae hopes everyone enjoyed Memorial Day today...
...she also hopes that you had some ice cream today--it's the law! (Well, it's OUR law: ice cream is mandatory on national holidays!)

Tallulah-Palooza Friday


It's someone's birthday SOMEWHERE, right?

Tallulah Mae wishes all of you an early/belated/on-time HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (She looks thrilled, doesn't she?)

I Spy with My Little Eye...

...a little birdie! Do you see it?

Ria on High

Hello, Ria!

(She's quite small, actually, just super fluffed out here...she is THE funniest cat I've ever known!.)

Din-Din



So fun to gather things from the garden and eat them! Obviously, the top two photos are of the salad that came from the raised beds.

Bottom photo is a "quiche" (no crust) that B. made. Din-din!

Dove Love Nest Construction









Sweet little dove gathering up bits of grass to make a nest in the tree that sort of straddles our property and the neighbor's property.

I have a real fondness for doves and hate it when people say anything mean about them! I love their coloring, their calls, and the fact that you almost always see two together.

Tallulah-Palooza Friday


Someone got Furminated...I think she was a bit overdue--what do you think? :)

(That fur is the softest, fuzziest cloud...cashmere's got nothing on Tallulah Mae!)

Peonies Redux






As promised, even fluffier peonies...they are about to blow all of their petals, and they smell glorious!

It's Peony Time Again!

They are glorious! (I have another photo for tomorrow of them blown out into huge puffy balls.)

Finally...

It's happening...I'm actually sewing something using my new dress form and new Janome sewing machine. Pics to follow (if I actually succeed, of course!).

Berry Good



Strawberries in my very own backyard! It's the little things in life...

P.S. The top strawberry really has not been bitten into--it's just a bit deformed, for some reason.

Tallulah-Palooza Friday

 Hello, Tallulah. What are you doing?
 You're trying telekinesis?
 How's that working for you?

"Come to me, lunch bag full of food," thought Tallulah Mae.

Alas, the bag stayed put. Maybe next time...

Weird and wonderful!

Scratch and Sniff

Even vintage crayons maintain that wonderful waxy crayon-y smell. Ahhhh...

Should It Stay or Should It Go?

I found this ultra-cool ceramic tile/wall hanging this weekend at a thrift shop in Sun City, Arizona (home of VERY good thrift shops!). It is by Joseph Simon, made for Soholm Pottery in Bornholm, Denmark, in the 1960s. It is quite large and quite heavy (and in perfect condition).

I bought it to sell on Etsy: as you can see, these items generally command a nice price. But we rather like it, so...should it stay or should it go? Hmmm...
