A Saturday

We went to Buxton Community Days. It was pretty cool, the first time we'd ever gone. I enjoy small community fairs like that, less confusion than the big state type fairs. Not to mention it seems as though its more neighbor, community based, more intimate. they had rides so the kids each got a few rides leaving shane and Ty (shanes friend) nauseous. India was fine.. I think it was the combination of french fries, fast rides and humidity.. (although I'll take the humidity over rain..) After the Buxton Days, we went swimming and that seemed to help the kids. The cool water countered the humidity and affects of it.. It was a nice and relaxing day I think.. I was in bed and exhausted by ten that night though.. unfortunately with being to bed so early, I've now been up since 2 am... and that part sucks.. It's now after 6 and I should attempt to sleep but I'm still not tired.. We wound up having a bbq with our good friends sue and sonny, and that was fun I just wish I had been more awake for it.. We had hotdogs for the kids and shichkabobs for us along with fruit salad (yummy yummy), potatoe salad and corn on the cob.. It was a wonderful feast.

just some garden pics..

RAIN RAIN AND MORE RAIN!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

I want SUN!

sorry had to throw a little temper tantrum about it.. We actually did have a nice day yesterday and we had a yard sale trying to save some money for our minnesota trip.. It'll be wonderful to see my family (soap operas and all).. The kids are all done with school in 5.5 days.. there stoked and can't wait to be done.. neither can i unless it continues to rain and then i want them in school so that I won't be annoyed and miserable with bored children.. LOL..

AAAWWWW June

Today I went as a chaperone to the ocean for Shane (my 3rd grader). We went to Crescent state park. It was really fun.. We had a scavenger hunt, the boys played some football and some frisbee. It made me glad that I've been trying to get into shape because OMG do those kids have energy...

I was working in my garden the other day and leaning against the garage was a mattress spring and i was looking at that and weeding my peas (which are beginning to lean over) when a lightning bolt hit me.. all those "going green" and "recycle and reuse" shows i watch and there it was my pea climber.. so i put it in my garden for my peas to climb.. I think it looks REALLY cool and sage says though it looks cool, it's also very redneckish.. Craig thought it was awesome even went so far as to see if we had another to use for my other garden beds..

pictures will be coming soon but for some reason it won't let me upload them right now... you can also check out my photos at http://www.myspace.com/witchweaver there in the 2009 photo album...

Rain Rain go away...

So it's been rainy off and on since tuesday and though i know we need it and my garden needs it I'd like some sun and warmth. So today in between showers I decided to take some pictures of some of my plants.. They came out pretty cool I thought.. I have to do something to keep my sanity.. I also have so many irons in the studio.. I started 2 blankets for dani's (my sisters) boys and I'm putting some of my crafts to gether for my sister brandy for her shows this summer in minnesota and I need to make MORE products for my shows in the fall, starting in September.. So I have both of my big looms all warped and am working on a scarf (I think, sometimes the final product isn't what I planned) and a rug. I have one rigid heddle loom done up with a scarf (need to finish) and the other rigid I have warped and need to get that off of the loom so that i can bring that one to minnesota and teach my mom to weave. List is endless..

Memorial weekend we went fishing on Monday, first time in years and not a dang nibble, lots of weeds.. It was fun though. On saturday went yard selling with my friends sue and cathy got lost (only people i know that can get turned around and lost with a GPS) and didn't get home until 5ish but SOOO worth it.. It was fun... Sunday we had a BBQ with our friends Suzanne and Blain.. The food was delicious and the companydevine... It was fun... So all in all we had a great weekend, did everything from golf at driving range to fishing...

But now I'm making spaghetti and need to finish it.. So more later!!
