BARB'S MO-HAIR ELEMENTS


Ok, so Mr. Miles was the one to suggest the Marge-Simpson-like hairdo - and I added some eyes... I am sure you have someone who would look good in these? I'm 'sperimenting with beards and such too - still open to suggestions? Sideburns anyone? Like Elvis-like-burns? This is your opportunity to ask! You can email me at lalalime@hotmail.com with your requests! I also included some nice, long lashes... I always longed for looong lashes - our daughters got them all!

This is a very short entry today, as this is the day our Mom and Dad arrive (my In-Laws, but we get along well!) We are looking forward to our time together.


In the meantime, God has turned the crickets on out here - seemed like one day there were none, then there were a thousand of them. The apples are forming on the trees, about an inch or two long and the Mayflies are out. As my friend Becky would say, the birds around here are all 'twitterpated' - and they have nests stashed in all the rocket shaped trees surrounding our house. Its a veritable bird highway outside our windows!



WINSTON HAVING A CATNIP DREAM!



So I'll leave you with some sweet thougths for today - Miles is taking me on a loooong walk to brush the cobwebs away... I will go now, and wish you all a good day! For those of you heading out on the roads here in Canada, being a long weekend (Victoria Day) - I wish you a safe journey. Remember to give yourself plenty of time! I probably won't be resonding to your own blogs, hoping you will understand!



All things that love the sun are out of doors;

The sky rejoices in the morning's birth;

The grass is bright with rain-drops; - on the moors

The hare is running races in her mirth;

And with her fee she from the plashy earth

Raises a mist, that, glittering in the sun,

Runs with her all the way, wherever she doth run.


- William Wordsworth



Oh! When shall I 'scape to be truly my own,

From the noise and the smoke and the bustle of town.

Hail you woods and ye lawns, shady vales, sunny hills,

And the warble of birds, and the murmer of rills.

I have said it at home, I have said it abroad,

That the town is man's world, but that this is of God.


-by Isaac Hawkins Browne

BARB'S HANDY TIP #264

Stargaze the Weekend Away!



Being a long weekend... being many of you will be away camping, or at cabins, away from the bright city lights - this makes for a perfect opportunity to do some stargazing. The following site makes it easy - even for the novice. There's tons of terrific advice here, and even FREE (or donations gratefully accepted) downloadable night sky PDF 2 page skymaps! They've conveniently provided them for both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.

    Thanks again for the cool hair dos:) I have an awful time with my own hair the last couple of years.I roll it with the curler iron and it flattens out in less than an hour.Hair spray won't help either.bummers.Must be cause I am getting older...just call me flat head!!LOL Maybe I can use one of these to put on some pics of me.LOL My grandmother had longggg hair..to her knees.She would braid it on both sides and criss cross it on top of her head.Your one of Marge Simpson remided me of her.LOL She took a pic of it brushed out and sent it to me when I was a teenager..but the pic got lost or ruined..can't remember which..but I so wish I had it again.:)That is a once in a life time photo.:( Bummers again.!
    I hope you have a fantastic weekend with your inlaws.:)

    There is a decided probability that you're slightly nutz -- wonderfully, wackily, winsomely so, but nonetheless, nutzzzz. Love the elements -- the blue bee-hive is definitely me. Thanks for the giggles now and those to come when I use them and have a wonderful long weekend.
