There are so many things missing, last night
Last week, and now quieted by irreverence
Two feet deep and thick with sickness
We are lost and no longer linger. Still
I can reason your denial in difference
Came upon you for thought, and mine
I must say thrust upon me in shame.
I shut my book to save your eyes.
Who is lost in plain sight can speak
As you have always claimed, in truth.
p.s. with an uncompromised view for any other is...well, it is compromised.

it's too good to waste in hiding.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

A Moon Pie tastes like chocolate coated, soggy graham crackers stuck together by marshmallow cream.
I hate Moon Pies. I've tried them only once, because I was curious as they look really funny. They taste nothing like a S'more, so don't expect that!!!
Yeah the "y"s are on strike today, Smoke!
YAY pics!
I wish the waiting anon the best of luck.
But anon, it's not any of our business who, what, when, or why.
Just my opinion...
Thanks for the pics smoke, they are great. I love the dusty road.
Thanks anon, that looks really good. I absolutely live for bath stuff.
Don't misunderstand me, so do I, but waiting on a blog makes no sense to me.
Love the piccies Smoke.
The flower looks like a Passion Flower * squints *
Blackberries? In May? They are an Autumn fruit in the UK.
Is the road around your parts?
K it is still pretty naive to believe no ingredient has ever been tested on animals throughout it's history and that companies that advocate not using ingredients tested on animals/or produced from animals actually use synthetically produced chemically identical substances which is still relying on original testing to ensure safe levels for human use or are basically supporting the original death of animals (why I never use musk) All they have to do is patent the molecule under a different name and legally they are different substances,
I am not for animal testing at all but I don't believe there is any company which would not at any time use research gained from previous testing.
But some things are not for us to understand. Really.
I don't even understand myself for the most part.
Yep! It's right across from my house. :)
That flower was weird. They were everywhere in the field behind my house. Pretty.
Miss T - I've just Googled Moon Pies.
They are Wagon Wheels!!!
oh I don't have time to look at the pics I have to head out for the morning usual!
I'll look when I get back
anon thanks heaps I'll check it out
mustard never had s'mores either! What are they?
missT I'll let you know what I think when I get back
bye for now
sdock ready to feel the burn?
Moon pies? Like for real moon pies?
RC colas and moon pies? ^_^

OMG GS, I love wagon wheels. Have you seen the French and Saunders sketch with the giant wagon wheel? Priceless.
Okay so maybe not moon pies. O_O
Ergo,
I'm ready!
S'mores are this thing.
It's a graham cracker, but sandwiched between them are a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow. You roast the marshmallow first so it gets all gooey and stuff, then you put it together like a sandwich!
Is this it Smoke? The one at the end of the top line grows up my house.
Feel free to scroll past anything I say.
I love free will!
GS,
That's totally it! Thank you!
Sdock - welcome :)
Miss T - I hadn't, but I have now!! Funny :D
Mustard - no offense but the S'mores looks really sickly :x
But some things are not for us to understand. Really.
...but there is a line between what's real and not
Me and my sis always try to get a wagon wheel in our mouth in one go after seeing that GS.
Oh man, GS. You don't know what you're missing! They're really good, I promise!
Reality for who?
Your reality differs from my reality.
Which one is more "real"?
Okay so maybe it is the moon pie I was thinking of. I wasn't sure if you guys were talking about food or not. I'll shut up now. O_O
So our flower has a cool name! YAY!
Me and my sis always try to get a wagon wheel in our mouth in one go after seeing that GS.
You can give Cat Deeley a run for her money then ;)
Smoke and Sdock - we call Moon Pies - Wagon Wheels :)
Mustard - I'll have to take your word for it :)
And the official name for Passion Flowers is Passiflora Floribunda. How cool is that!
That is so cool! I've never seen them around here before. Or maybe I've just never paid any attention to them.
They are pretty cool little flowers. ^_^
Oh! And I just realized I have some kind of wild plum tree in my front yard. YAY! I ♥ them like so much.
GS, she does have quite a big mouth that Cat Deeley.
I'm off to take a bath.
Catch you guys later on.
They are very pretty Smoke; spread like wildfire though. I have a battle every year with mine because it uses the wire that climbs up the side of my house as a support and nearly pulls it off the wall!!
And great, free plums :D
Miss T - that she does. I remember her doing it on SMTV once. No problem whatsoever.
Bye Sdock.
See you later solly.

Miss T - I was hoping to get up to the NW this half term but I wasn't able to co-ordinate it with stuff we have to do. Otherwise I could have nipped to see you.
Well Ergo, I disagree because I think there are some companies that you can trust. If not, then you have to basically live in a little shell. Though there is something to what you say: For instance I've always been a huge fan of Burt's Bees, then today I found out that their parent company is freaking CLOROX. I don't want to give my money to Clorox!
I'm constantly learning these things and changing my products list, but in the meantime I do the best I can.
Off to check out Solly and Smoke's pics!
I'm loving the pics tonight.
Thank youuuuuu Princess! Did you like the poem too?
OMG adorable gecko.
Your space flower is a passiflora, also known as passion flower. I grow those indoors. They are among my favorite flowers!
Yummy blackberries look yummy!
And your red clay dirt road is an awesome photo. ^_^
Well, of course I did! I ♥ all of your poems.
That's a damn shame GS. We will have to one day.
Thank you Kapunua.
I had to look up indehiscent though!
♥ Princess. Thank you. :D I might save that one, if only for the play on "samara" and "indehiscent" 'cause I kind of impressed myself there. ^_~
Thank you, GS! I like that word, I learned it by learning about samaras, which is, oh man, a whole 'nother story.*

Thank you! That little lizard is becoming my bestest friend. For the past three days he has walked around me while I was sitting out on the porch. Today he let me get really close to him. :)
Sadly, there are fewer and fewer of those dirt roads around here. I miss them. Nothing like a cool dirt road to go cruising. They are just peaceful.
We will have to one day.
Most definitely. I was e-mailing Fim the other day and we said us Brits shall all have to get together one day.
Pretty words with pretty pictures.
And I love your lizzard smoke, what a cutie.
OOOOOOOOO a british get together. That would be beyond cool.
Hello Everybody how are you?
I wonder what I should name him? I think I shall call him Patrick.
*LHM just called me Psycho with made me think of American Psycho*
HEE-HEE!
Off to shower! Be back in a bit!
See you later smoke.
HIYA MJ, how are you sweetie?
Miss T - it's fairly easy for us. I mean, I know we are a fair distance apart but it's not like the Americans; we're not talking 1000's of miles here.
We'll have to fix a central point somewhere :)
FASC is the furthest :\
I am well Miss t
See you later S&V
Hiya Martha.
Nice to hear that MJ.
GS, where is FASC?

Thanks MJ, I shall have to let you know.
I spoke to him the other night, we are still planning to meet up this weekend.
God to know Miss t

Man, I didn't even mean to use the lord's name in vain. Fuck. My typos are sending me deeper into help.
What you been up to MJ?
Deeper into help, MJ? I think we all need help! ^_~
Anon,
It wasn't funny at all. It was just rude.
Martha - fine thanks. What's new with you?
Miss T - Plymouth. By the way, which regiment is Ross in?
Hey, MJ!
Sorry for flaking, you guys!
Oooooooo plymouth is way down south.
I dunno that much detail yet GS. But he's been in the army and left once only to go back.
He's based in Hull and that's as much as I know for now.
Thank you MissT! And hello MJ! I was just outside taking pics of my nice clean doggies.
So you got your gods bathed? ^_^
K, your nice clean doggies buut not your nice clean goodies ha ha ha ha.
Not seen RW today.
*raises hand*
Present :)
Just reading over today's comments. Back in a bit...
By the way, S&V, I gotchoo a whip. Use it in good health.
We are going to add "gods" to our list of words, right?
Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes.
RW! It's great to see your name.
for those in love

Nice to see you RW, how are you today sweetie?
Hello Mib. Kapu if you dogs are like mine. they won't be clean for long.
Help=hell
Damn typos
Mustard,
You will have to ask Smoke to show you a pic of the Turtle, what's his name? Barnibus?
We totally have a pic of him!
Yes, Mustard! Definitely. I laughed about that for thirty minutes.
RW!!!!!!!!!!!!
*runs up to RW and squeezes her*
I missed you!
A new whip? OMG. I know just who to use it on, too. Muwahahaha.
Ah, yes! Mayo's turtle is Barnibus. He's an awesome turtle and does this really cool thing where he hides inside his shell when he gets frightened. It's like nothing you'll have ever seen before. Barnibus is one in 22 million.
What? It's true.
I can't wait to see what he looks like! O_O
Hi :)
I'm somewhat better today. Still bitchy, but not ill, so at least it's a bit of an improvement. I will be very glad for this contract to be over, I desperately need some time off :/
How is everyone doing this evening?
A new whip? OMG. I know just who to use it on, too. Muwahahaha
Run for the hills, PPU! RUN!
Oh! Barnibus! Yes. Okay.
*hopes Barnibus is supposed to be an old antique turtle that is probably older than any of us here*
Hold on!
That's sweet anon.
I know who I'd use it on, S&V...
...
Nope, not going to go there!
Gs I haven't been up to much. Just sitting here with Makona. I blame all my typos on him
Hello Rw
Hi, MJ :)
YAY RW!
MJ, they were already running around in the dirt, they are beasts.
My filthy gods! ^_^
Yes yes yes yes yes! In BlogBelieve, dogs are gods and they need to be shaved and bathed.
*thinks up really quick story*
Oh...YEAH! Barnibus is like 98 1/2 years old. Like, he has wrinkles and stuff, you know? He's really slow, like, slower than most turtles. I mean, yeah. That's Barnibus for you!
See the turtle of amazing girth
on his back he holds the earth
his thoughts are slow but always kind
he holds us all within his mind.
I'm pretty sure that's how it went. O_o
How dare you threaten PPU with a brand new whip!!
RW,
Did you see that I wished you Georgia Sunshine last night? Didja? Didja?
I wanna see barnabus.
My mate has a mad tortoise called delilah.
It takes a run up and head butts your shoes.
Hi RW. I'm very pleased to see you. You had me worried yesterday. Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better physically.
Miss T - I've just been Googling barracks. Sometimes you can determine which regiment someone is in by where they are based. He could be Transport Corps :\
* ignore me, I like investigating things. I'm not really a stalker *
It takes a run up and head butts your shoes.
Hahah!
Unfortunately, Barnibus can't run. He even has a walking cane. Poor little turtle.
How the fuck old is this turtle you have picture of, Smoke? I mean, damn! ;)
I missed that, Solly :( I shall have to peek back.
Barnibus - Mayo's Wise Old Turtle
Hi, GS :)
Sorry :/ I was in a bit of a funk.
How are you today?
That was a very general comment, and I hope no one was offended. Really, I didn't think before typing.
Let me know if you are, and I will kindly erase it.
I am confused By the turtle conversation.
I like turtles
He does a lot of driving GS.
Barnibus is soooooooooooo cute.
Oh man! Barnibus is freakin' massive!
Have fun with feeding him, Mayo!
That's a cute turtle! What is it, a painted turtle or a red eared slider or whatever it's called?
Splash, erase which comment?
Barnibus RULES! I love him even more in the photo.
I seened him firstestest!
I might redo that poem and make it actually somewhat decent. I jotted that down when I came inside and it could be so much better.
I frigging hate when I do that. >_<
Gonna have a shower, brb...
What do turtles eat? Bugs and stuff, right?
Mustard, you could never offend anyone.
Do you guys remember when we played the Wikipedia band name / album / songs meme?
It went:
Go to the Wikipedia home page and click random article. That is your band's name.
Click random article again; that is your album name.
Click random article 15 more times; those are the tracks on your album.
Wow, that was a long time ago.
I have no idea what kind of turtle he is. I really don't. I've always been kind of scared of turtles and that's the closest I've been to one. O_O
Jules, the one I made about Barnibus being so antique and old that he was unable to run.
I didn't mean for it to come of sterotypical and general, but it kinda did in a way.
See you later RW.
MJ, did you manage to put your songs on your Ipod?
Maybe they do eat bugs and then Barnibus can eat all the spiders. Muwahaha.
Speaking of which, oh my freaking GAWWWWWD. There was the biggest sonofabitching spider on my mailbox. He was big and black and hairy.
I almost died.
for those confused by the turtle conversation
your own turtles
hardcore turtles
Mustard,
You crack me up. That turtle is like a jillion years old.
RW - everyone's allowed a funky day :) I'm okay thanks.
Mustard - I'm pretty sure no-one's offended because we don't know which comment you mean! :)
Miss T - could be then * shrugs *
Hardcore Turtles made me go O_O.
A jillion? Damn. He's been around, eh?
Do you think Mayo would freak out if we put Barnibus in his bed to sleep? I mean, turtles probably get cold, and it is Mayo's turtle, so that's the very least he could do for him.
Oh, he better let Barnibus sleep with him.
Mayo,
I have a brand new whip and I'm not afraid to use it on you.
Guys,
Maybe we should ask Barnibus if he wants to sleep with Mayo.
Just sayin....
Barnibus might want this own bed.
Hi Mustard, GS, Smoke, Solly,Jules, RW, Anon.
Hardcore works well with the TMNT.
There's a video of the Teletubbies doing Killswitch Engage (I think), but it's just not believable.
Hello Mayo, SS and all the lovelies.
I hope you have all been doing well. I feel like I should give myself a good slap for being away for so long but life happens and there isn't enough time in the day.
Just wanted to say hello, I'm still alive and still reading when I get the chance.
Cheers and hugs.
I used to take naps with my lizard, Pendragon. He was four feet long and a nasty, evil thing. I loved him more than like god though, he was such a good friend to me. When he wasn't biting me and making me to go the emergency room.
You never liked to get
The letters that I sent.
But now you've got the gist
Of what my letters meant.
You're reading them again,
The ones you didn't burn.
You press them to your lips,
My pages of concern.
I said there'd been a flood.
I said there's nothing left.
I hoped that you would come.
I gave you my address.
Your story was so long,
The plot was so intense,
It took you years to cross
The lines of self-defense.
The wounded forms appear:
The loss, the full extent;
And simple kindness here,
The solitude of strength.
You walk into my room.
You stand there at my desk,
Begin your letter to
The one who's coming next.
A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes
were smoking out along the open road;
the night was very dark and thick between them,
each man beneath his ordinary load.
"I'd like to tell my story,"
said one of them so young and bold,
"I'd like to tell my story,
before I turn into gold."
But no one really could hear him,
the night so dark and thick and green;
well I guess that these heroes must always live there
where you and I have only been.
Put out your cigarette, my love,
you've been alone too long;
and some of us are very hungry now
to hear what it is you've done that was so wrong.
I sing this for the crickets,
I sing this for the army,
I sing this for your children
and for all who do not need me.
"I'd like to tell my story,"
said one of them so bold,
"Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story
'cause you know I feel I'm turning into gold."
Mayo might be a bad sleeper. He might flail around and kick the covers off.
It's not nice to wake up with a foot in your face.
Hi Star! Hey Magic Pie!
Thank You anon those certainly were hardcore turtles
O_O Lol
Picture this, guys:
Mayo sets his alarm every morning for 5:00 AM, pees, makes coffee, smokes a cigarette, drinks two cups of coffee (I'm going by the post, dudes!),dresses, and takes the beloved turtle for...
...his morning walk. Bahahahaha!
Mayo won't get back until lunch time.
*is evil*
Hi Star and Magic Pie :)
Hiya star, how are you sweetie?
Hey Smoke!!!!!
Now the flames they followed joan of arc
As she came riding through the dark;
No moon to keep her armour bright,
No man to get her through this very smoky night.
She said, I'm tired of the war,
I want the kind of work I had before,
A wedding dress or something white
To wear upon my swollen appetite.
Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way,
You know I've watched you riding every day
And something in me yearns to win
Such a cold and lonesome heroine.
And who are you? she sternly spoke
To the one beneath the smoke.
Why, I'm fire, he replied,
And I love your solitude,
I love your pride.
Then fire, make your body cold,
I'm going to give you mine to hold,
Saying this she climbed inside
To be his one, to be his only bride.
And deep into his fiery heart
He took the dust of joan of arc,
And high above the wedding guests
He hung the ashes of her wedding dress.
It was deep into his fiery heart
He took the dust of joan of arc,
And then she clearly understood
If he was fire, oh then she must be wood.
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
I saw the glory in her eye.
Myself I long for love and light,
But must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?
Hi MJ, Miss T, and Magic Pie!
hello RW and MissT!
MP!!! That is so freaky! I wondered, about three hours ago, where you were. And look! Here you are! Great to see you!
Hey, Star!!!
Hello Star and Mp how are you
"I wanna see what your insides look like.I bet your not fuckin pretty on the inside".
Love those lines. Great song and it's true for some poeple.
Some people put on a pretty face, a facade to decieve and make you think they are so nice when they aren't.Very sad they are
Hello land of blogbelievers..
Hiya magic Pie, long time no see.
How are you sweetie.
How many times did you have to go to the emergency room K?
And hello Star!
Hi anon, how are you today?
Hello Martha!
Miss T, I'm doing well. Just exhausted from life! lol How are you?
Mustard, that IS very creepy! Of all the days eh?
Thank you Martha Jones and Star.
I knew some of you would appreciate those hardcore turtles.
;)
Hi Magic Pie, nice to see you again.
Hello Star, how's tricks?
Rw - squeaky clean now?
Sorry for turning into Leonard Cohen there. ^_^
Just once, MissT, but it was awesome. :)
Way to make an entrance, Anon! And how are you?
Squeaky clean, scrubbed & moisturized, GS!
hello dearest gnothi :)
I'm doing good thanks magic pie.
Star - are you still coming in to London on the 26th? Is it just for that day or are you in town for a while?
I don't think I'm the anon you think I am smoke&venom20.
Sorry!
My tummy is full of skrimps and taters! Yum yum!
Wassup?
I was referring to 8:08 but hello to you, too!
What are skrimps?
Oh anon, we don't know who anyone is in here anymore.
That's part of the fun, fun, fun!
The wild and zany wackiness that is BlogBelieve!
Skrimps=shrimps
Oh!
YUMMO.
I love shrimps.
RW - makes you feel heaps better doesn't it :)
Sdock - sounds painful ;)
Oh and I forgot the carrots! I always eat raw baby carrots with my supper!
Yum, yum, yum!
I had pizza, yumm yumm.
Raw baby carrots RULE!
I had mini tacos. YUMMY!
A decadent soak in a bubble baff would have been better, GS, but I like to give a lot of time for that so it's usually a weekend thing.
But a shower will do in a pinch :)
you guys are making me hungry!
And now it's time to get going!
It was nice talking to you all again. Have a great night!
I had my fave dinner - spaghetti with cottage cheese.
A decadent soak in a bubble baff
Heaven.
GS, I'm good!
i went to a BBQ today and ate so much grilled asparagus, it was ridiculous.
Anon, I think you might like this.
I suck at links, but it is the beginning of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie with a song by Mastodon.

Bye MP!
Aw gone so soon Magic pie.
Great seeing you again.
Have a good night, Magic Pie :)
Goodnight, MP!
GS, I'm not going at all. The dates of the trip interfere with my summer job, so I can't go. :(
Star: :(
I'm hoping for a trip somewhere this year, maybe June. But I can't decide on where to go!
Hello anon
And hardcore turtle anon you are welcome
My preference would be here, but I don't think it's feasible.
Goodnight Mp
Do a Nile cruise RW.
Oooooo!! Miss T, that sounds fab!
Don't think I could afford that though :/
I would, however, like a river or ocean to be involved somehow.
RW, I was very very sad, but we're going to New Orleans again in November, so that will make up for not going to London.
I'm not bummed about teaching in the summer program though. I don't like being home in the summer after regular school ends. It makes me nervous and depressed because I don't know what to do with myself.
Hi. I am fine. Hope you all had a good weekend.
Rw, come to NJ/NY! There's the Hudson and East Rivers, but somehow, I don't think those are the type of rivers you mean!
I'm not bummed about teaching in the summer program though. I don't like being home in the summer after regular school ends. It makes me nervous and depressed because I don't know what to do with myself.
I get like that too if I have too much time off.
New Orleans, eh? I love that city!
It's not as expensive as you think RW.
A week cos me and my sis £280 each. with excursions included.
More garden pics if anyone wants to look, including what the yard looks like after the fall of the hundred hundred hundred samaras, and my new palm tree. And Adam's Needle. ^_^
Hi anon. My weekend kinda sucked, but what can you do?
Hope yours was good, though.
I want some time off! I don't want to go back to work tomorrow. Booooo!!!!
Alright, I'll be back in a bit. My computer is acting all crazy.
Come to visit, RW! We've got nothing but water out here. The bay, the other bay, the lake, the swamp, the sound, the ocean, and the river. O_o
I live on a sand bar.
But I still have to fly to Egypt from here, Miss T, and that's expensive.
New York is definitely some place I want to visit sometime in the future, Star. Maybe this year, not sure yet.
My weekend was lazy anon, how was yours?
Pretty garden K.
I live on a sand bar.

Your garden is gorgeous, K!
Kapunua,
Those dogs! I want them!
Can I admit that I never knew the real name of the samaras? I referred to them as "boomerang leaves" today.
Thank you MissT, RW and Star! My dogs are pretty cute, hafta say. :)
Re: samaras, we used to call them polynoses when we were kids.
RW, honestly if you ever visit NY, come and visit me!
Yeah, I guess RW. We are less than 5 hours away. I bet it's further for you.
I like sand.
Not being funny. I really do. It's kinda of cool.
Star - nooooo! :( I was looking forward to meeting you.
Kapunua - lovely garden.
RW - if you manage to get to the island can I come too?
Will do, K! Thanks ^_^
