9275 – Sunday

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers out there!

 

We took Chris out to breakfast at Whitman’s (South County Cafe), and then wandered about the area – scoped out a local hardware store, and then hit the major garden supply place to load up on botanical-type loot. My take of the haul is a big blueberry bush, completely pre-loaded with full berries… they’ll be blue in another 60 days or so. A peanut plant, just because. BHK got Okra, patchouli, lemon eucalyptus, creeping jenny, and… some other goodies that don’t come immediately to mind.

It’s raining like gangbusters now… setting my alarm via the cell phone, because I have my doubts that the evening will go by without a power loss.

 

Set up Pyecam to go along with Newtcam. About time he got equal treatment video-wise. Pyecam won’t be 24/7 though, until we work out a pye-intensive, but safe place to put the laptop unattended for long periods.

9274 – Saturday

Shots, and off to southern states to grab a couple of pepper plants – saw an adorable pair of kids. Little girl in riding pants and very friendly, and her little brother who reminded me of JD at 6 years old. We also picked up some thistle seed for the finches (so Pye and Newt have a little outside wildlife to watch)

 

After that a lovely church wine and craft show… We got a Christmas ornament with a pair of origami cranes (cherry blossom pattern paper) inside of a rounded cube…. and a lovely packet of bake sale goodies. Aggression cookies (oatmeal), molasses and chocolate chip.

 

Episcopal church had the following on the bulletin board:

The comedian Robin Williams is an Episcopalian, and he has created a funny “Top Ten” List of reasons to be an Episcopalian.

 

10. No snake handling.

9. You can believe in dinosaurs.

8. Male and female, God created them; male and female, we ordain them.

7. You don’t have to check your brains at the door.

6. Pew aerobics.

5. Church year is color coded!

4. Free wine on Sunday.

3. All of the pageantry, none of the guilt.

2. You don’t have to know how to swim to get baptized.

And the number one reason for being an Episcopalian:

1. No matter what you believe, there’s bound to be at least one other Episcopalian who agrees with you.

I can dig that.

 

After the Church shindig, we Shakespeare on the Boardwalk – Much ado about nothing. TM’s neighbor Kevin was in it, as was Guppy (twin beach players )

 

after a bit of local and classic culture, we headed home to catch up with The Office and My Name is Earl.

 


Added a syndicated feed of BHK’s favorite meteorolgist – Kim Martucci – I should notify Kim that she’s being syndicated here, just so she knows to check. It’s not a full feed, just a clip and a link to the main site – which is *quite* active and colorful, if you follow my fonts. Her journal gave BHK a quickie girl-crush on Kim.


also via BHK –

“Artist made a plastic whale skeleton from plastic deck chairs! Also made recreations of native ceremonial masks out of Nike shoes—-pretty cool art!”

1. Who do you adore?
BHK, Newton and Pye

2. Who adores you?
