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.

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.

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Thanksforgiving

'Thanksforgiving' is the title to my Thanksgiving Pinterest board.... And now looking at it, I just saw it in a whole new way.... thanks + forgiving... instead of, or in addition to thanks + for + giving Interesting.... wouldn't it be awesome if we all could just forgive others of their shortcomings and be grateful for them as they are and accept them at face value instead.... the way we hope they look at us? Today I think of so many things.... What comes to mind: St. George - spent many Thanksgivings there while growing up and always spent time horseback riding over that weekend 4-day school vacation Dang!  In the middle of making this list I just remembered I forgot to make the Corn Soup... ugh... The 'Turkey Bowl' LeSueur Pumpkin Crunch Torte... I made a half this year which is baking (hopefully... something's up with my oven) as I type.... and man oh man, it sure smells good!
