The Color Purple!

I love my rhododendron bushes! We planted these the first year moved in (after cutting down and removing a ton of overgrown yucky stuff). Each year the bushes get more lovely! I did have to prune some out of the the one pictured on the left....ice damage.

Today brought more rain. It is gloomy and miserable....fits my mood. Although Snickers and I did get a nice, long walk in prior to the precipitation. She is such a bitch....14 pounds of sheer terror! lol Every dog we passed got growled and barked at. She SO takes after me, except I weigh WAY more that 14 pounds and I growl and bark at people.

Hope your day is bright and sunny.....and warm!!!!!

What An Amazing Day!

Notice Scott's NEW glasses!!!! So handsome!

Not only is the sun shining (for a brief change....thunderstorms predicted), but check out the "shining" things that happened on this day in history!

Wow...and you thought today was just like any other day!

It's been AGES!

My on-again-off-again blogging seems to be "on." lol I have been doing allot of reading lately...most of which I am really enjoying. I've branched out from my usual serial-killer books (i.e. Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson, John Sanford) which I truly enjoy. I have emailed a few friends, asking what they are reading or have read. Please let me know what YOU are reading or loved reading in the past. Some of my recent "reads" are;

• Wicked
• Son of a Witch
• Beautiful Boy (which every parent should read)
• The Memory Keeper's Daughter
• The Quickie
• Possible Side-Effects
  

Send me a list of your favorites, "top 10," or must-reads.

I have a stack of several books to read;

• 1776
• Hillary's book
• Pride and Prejudice
• Howard's End
• Magical Thinking

My friend, Marti, has a list she keeps each year of her favorite books she's read that year. Since I can't keep track of what/when I read I try to remember my favorites and why they are such. I think I'll work on a list and post it ASAP.

Off the book subject.....I am watching the Today Show. And yes, New Kids On The Block still suck! They may have aged....not sure they matured....lol. Just my critique on their performance thus far. I wasn't a fan in they hey-day.....obviously I am still not. lol
