Not time for much else these days, but I still fit in my walk this morning. My woods are so glorious around this time of year. I have been able to make long, hard days of the first two days of the week in order to have the middle one to myself. I've got beef stew on the stove, clothes in the dryer, some hung and others folded on the bed, dishes have been done, and I've even had a nap. Now, time for my precious afternoon tea. I miss this tea ritual when I am working.
This past Saturday was my baby's birthday. That's her new parakeet named Buddy. Buddy may have to go back. He hasn't made a peep since coming into the house. I've been playing Beethoven for him today, hoping he decides it's okay to live here. We celebrated the happy day with 7 of her closest friends who came early Saturday and stayed until the next day. They didn't want to go home, but I forced them to. It was time.
Today, is my best friend's birthday. May she have many more. This isn't a great picture of her; she looked very pretty the night I took this back in July. We are going out this weekend to celebrate her 49th.
I just love those Virgo girls. Julia was almost a Libran, but true to her Virgo nature, she accomodated me.

All these September birthdays - I blame the Xmas & New Year parties...
We were just trying to keep warm, I'm sure. You know how these things happen.
I have learned, now that Julia is a teenager, that I can't dance. I was in my own kitchen, minding my own business, dancing to her loud, bubble gum music when she came in with a look of horror and asked me, "what are YOU doing?!!" She was afraid one of her peers might see me. I knew better than that for heavens sake. Aaron beat her to teen-hood a couple of years ago. (I had to tell myself, "I have friends who like me just the way I am; uncool or not. Hmmmph.")
