The politicians in DC are supposed to decide (again) whether the riverboat Delta Queen's wooden superstructure is such a fire hazard that she is now making her last trip. Given the politicians' track record, they will manage to get it wrong no matter what they do. As for me, I'd feel safer spending the night on the steam-powered DQ than driving from one side of Atlanta to the other at the posted speed limit.

Sorry I've been overwhelmed lately so I didn't get a chance to post the pictures I wanted to yesterday. Here this day is almost completely gone as well. Better late than never right?

More pictures.

"Cover me with kisses, baby
Cover me with love
Roll me in designer sheets
I'll never get enough
Emotions come, I don't know why
Cover up love's alibi

Call me"

Well I do have some pictures to share!!  Yesterday was such a beautiful day that I had to get out and enjoy it.  *stretches* Yup, days like that remind me how much I love warmth.




I love the sun rays coming through the plants. This is our peace lily.




Even the cats got into the sunning action. We opened all the windows and let the fresh air in.


Our birds were having a hayday listening to the robins. They would try to "talk" back to them. It was a true cacophony of tweets and whistles.


These flowers pop up in my grass. I've been trying to figure out what they are. I don't believe they are crocus, mini-iris, hyacinth, or violet. Anyone have a clue?


I love finding fossils in stones. This one I incorporated into our pond.


A closer view of the purple flowers from before.

I have a couple more pictures for tomorrow.  Gee, I sound like a broken record when it comes to posting pictures. :P   I gave these photos for today  a more vintage feel. 

Tomorrow (Thursday) they wont be so stay tuned!

"I shed no tears and there's no reason for shame
A small consolation hides a stone with her name
Just a victim, still the light shines on bright
I've got the picture, think I'll hold it tonight

Wave (wave) goodbye
See my heart...so blue
Wave (wave) goodbye
Lost for you"


I wanted to practice some macro photography on random items in my room. These are the results. (I gave them a vintage grain/feel to them. Other than that I didn't do much else to the pictures.)




Some of my fading flowers on my table. So little time for such a burst of color.


I love Maneki Nekos (Lucky cats)and these little fellows were in a small snack box. They were keychains but I ended up removing them from their chains. Each cat is in a costume representing something else. The first is obviously a frog. The second is disguised as a Daruma. Finally the third is dressed up as an Oni!

They are not any bigger than a penny and I put my measuring tape in the background as a reference. I would have put them on my cell phone but I already have two other maneki nekos on there. So they are on display on my shelf by my desk.


My lotus candle holder and my special rainbow colored string wrapped around a candle. (The string and candle belonged to my grandma. She originally wrapped the string around it.)

Tomorrow is the new month of April. I wonder what I will do for my layout? I've got to think of something and hopefully be quick about it. :P Let's hope that this new month will be productive, creative & positive!

As promised, though a day late, here are the rest of the pictures.


I just love fern fronds.






Cool as a cucumber has a different meaning as this picture shows.




I love that the sky behind the garage has so many hues.


This reminds me of clouds!

I unfortunately do not have much time to type right now so this is all I can do at the moment. I hope your weekend was enjoyable.
