Outside my Window...
Orchids, palm trees, redwinged blackbirds, green parrots, and the requisite mourning doves. We're watching our friend's place today and we're on the second story lanai. Love being at the same height as the treetops, there's so much going on up here!

I am thinking...
About my sister's wedding!!! I am so excited!!! Can't wait for more details, Michelle, *hint, hint* (as Marianna types! LOL!)

I am thankful for...
Good friends. We've had a wonderful weekend catching up!

From the kitchen...
Cookies and muffins and baked lasagna, oh my! Marianna is utilyzing this oven quite well.

I am creating...
Music! I actually have some guitar lessons for me lined up for the summer!!!

I am going...
to Miami later today for an eye appointment. I haven't been able to wear my contacts for weeks now, my eye itself is swollen and cherry red, and that would explain why the photos on this blog have slowed to a trickle. It is much harder to take a great photo when you cannot see clearly!

I am wearing...
Faded denim skirt and a grey and silver slouchy shirt that I love. The silver bits are swallows swooping around dark grey roses and there is one more rose unexpectedly appearing on my left shoulder blade. Clear crystal earrings, a silver bracelet and royal blue sparkly sandals for that jolt of color.

I am reading...
I was going to start Sense and Sensibility for my intro to summer, but after chatting with Michelle I think I may go with Pride and Prejudice, then Bridget Jones' Diary, followed by Persuasion and BJD II. I've never actually read and compared them that close to each other, it should be the perfect beach literature course!

I am hoping...
That the eye dr. has a magical drop that will allow me to wear my contacts home. Barring that scenario, I'd go with good traffic through Miami today.

I am hearing...
A mockingbird running through one of the most extensive song repertoires I've ever heard.

Around the house...
This house? Newly painted creamy walls with chocolate moldings soar to the high, high ceilings. New chocolate throw rugs and cooresponding malachite green pillows with darkly framed photos taken by the owner make this a very warm and welcoming place.

One of my favorite things...
Getting to play with her extensive orchid collection here... and are they ever blooming this time!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...
I'm taking my sewing machine back home to the boat. Lots of little things need mending or pitching but after that perhaps I'll find a fun project or two!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you:
