Day 36 - fairy gardens

And let me say, I KNOW I'm 20 days behind.... I SHOULD  be on day 55 (or there about) of my 100 happy days.  But a wise woman once told me I should never say "should".  And so I try and avoid saying it to myself and others.... but I end up saying it to myself A LOT.

As a side note, when I was a sassy-mouthed teen, I once said to my dad "I told you so".

Ohh... never again.

And this is one phrase I've been good at NOT repeating.

It's so condescending and rewd.... I'd even go as far to say a bit narcissistic.

And the hardest time I've ever had not saying it is to my children.

^^Random^^

Moving on....

For like 7 or 8 years now I've been wanting to create a little fairy garden.

When Ally was younger I bought these books:



And more than anything I wanted the two of us to find some secluded spot and build our own little garden....
But alas, it only ended up ever being a goods intention.  I have a whole garage full of good intentions.  I'd have it made if this life's reward was based on intentions.  LOL!

So, finally, as Ally got older, I decided to make one I could have here at home.... and after years of collecting little things to go in it, I'm finally starting it today.  Because I have all the little plants and the big guy keeps saying if I don't get them planted, he will.  And who knows what it'll end up as if that happens.  Actually, it might be kinda fun to do it together.  But prolly not, as he is mega busy and all about finishing everything in a timely manner.... not a fashionable manner AT ALL.  He's such an ant.... and I'm such a grasshopper.  Oh my.

Lake McDonald, Montana

Have I ever talked about my thing for rocks?  Have had it since I was a little girl.... loved to collect rocks and go to rock shops.  I even have a few sitting next to my bed (nothing bigger than what fits in the palm of your hand) right now that've caught my fancy the last year or so... or that someone's given me.  Like the small white one Ally gave to me from our trip to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, at the Quileute Indian Reservation beach (okay, yeah... so it was really to see 'Twilight' country, but we saw some pretty amazing scenery as well)... and then a black rock Rob found on our trip to the Oregon Coast last year. Anyway... there's this lake in Montana ... Lake McDonald ... obviously from the subject heading... and it's got shores of brightly-colored rocks.  So guess what got added to the bucket list as soon as I saw the photos?  Yep... I will go there... for the rocks.... just to see the pretty colors.
