I'm making him a Lego block cake and my sister has neat decorations and favors ready. Here's to Legos and birthday parties! Thu, 30 Aug 2012 15:53:11 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37804 Today is the day to celebrate those glorious gifts from the garden we call herbs. They provide flavor, fragrance and texture to our lives. Some of my faves are lavender, cilantro, basil, thyme and oregano. I'd share more, but it's time for a cup of chamomile tea before bed :) Wed, 29 Aug 2012 19:03:26 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37761 Today was National Dog Day, so I hope everyone had a chance to cuddle their Cairns, pat their Pugs, and snuggle their Scotties. There is nothing like the unconditional love of a dog! My Rascal is my baby! (A 50lb hairy baby...but my baby, nonetheless.)

Well, and a couple of fish lips just for fun!

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 14:53:48 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37547 I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting ready for football season! The crash of helmets, the crisp air, the taste of hot chocolate, the nail-biting plays and the exhilaration of sharing team pride with countless others...there ain't nothing like it! (The maroon and gold are representative of my high school alma mater...GO BULLDOGS!!!) Sat, 18 Aug 2012 21:37:57 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37437 Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers. The profuse numbers of delicate tiny petals are simply stunning. Tue, 14 Aug 2012 16:53:21 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37322 Reading is one of the most fulfilling hobbies out there. Everyone sit down with a good book tonight, because today we celebrate those of us who love to read! Thu, 09 Aug 2012 12:45:26 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37297 Bawk Bawk! That's what our Hibachi Chef at the Japanese restaurant had us saying in order to receive our helping of chicken the other night. I laughed until I cried. A hearty "Cockadoodledoo!" to those lucky chicken owners who get to enjoy fresh eggs each day. Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:40:32 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37295 My brother-in-law came from a family of dairy farmers in California. Here's to all the hardworking farmers who bring us our milk products. Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:04:19 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37283 Summertime in Florida means rain almost every afternoon...a welcome treat for withering gardens. Wed, 08 Aug 2012 05:57:12 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37281 My mom grew up on a small farm in Ohio and she has some fun stories about pigs. Give a big "Oink-Oink" to those pudgy providers of bacon! Wed, 08 Aug 2012 05:45:39 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37270 Anything but sad, blue butterflies are gorgeous! What a treat when you see the unexpected flutter of color float across your garden! Tue, 07 Aug 2012 06:40:02 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37248 I spent Saturday clearing my overgrown garden spot in preparation for a fall garden and the relentlessly warm sun bore down on my back the whole time. This collection honors that big red ball in the sky. Mon, 06 Aug 2012 05:24:34 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37221 Watched an episode of the intriguing British mystery show "Rosemary and Thyme" last night and found myself swooning over the beauty of the Riviera, where the story took place. I can imagine my senses taking in all the tastes, textures, colors and fragrances of the culture there. Here's to the beauty of all things Mediterranean. Sat, 04 Aug 2012 08:05:07 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37218 My father is very involved in tracing the roots of our family tree and recently my sister and brother-in-law have begun to investigate his heritage, as well. Family "roots" run deep and "digging" them up helps us "grow" our understanding of who we are. Fri, 03 Aug 2012 20:11:09 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=collections&op=details&cid=37190 In the grocery store yesterday, I heard a man call to his adorable young twin girls. Their names were Violet and Iris. What pretty little names for two pretty little ladies. Love the garden-themed names! Thu, 02 Aug 2012 12:06:49 MST
