Yes I was giving the camera man a kiss. He is one of my close friends. As for clutching the purse I was just closing it at the clip. It is hanging around my neck for safety.
Here is my fish pond. Well, a part of it. There is a stream that goes uphill, and makes a sharp right, to the garage.
Ignore that bucket. Oops!
Oh, and yes, this was taken last year. All of that will come back, and then some. I love perennials!
a picture of the kick-ass duckie pillow i made as a Christmas gift for someone special last year [it was my first sewing project, and slightly amateur, but none of that shows on my horrible digital camera]
and, a picture of my KILLER whoopie pies. well, i made these for Christmas last year, too. but they were damn good, and by far the most intricate thing i've ever baked!
