What Cool Breezes Do


It is so beautiful outside right now, I thought I'd share some outside photos.




Matthew's sunflower patch is starting to bloom.




The beginning of veggies!





Cool rain catchment barrel bought for cheap at an animal feed store. This filled up So Quickly! We need many more.





Crazy Lupita.

We're going camping tomorrow! I'll return with many beautiful photos. Have a great weekend!

Your Lousy Career

So i read the first Twilight book and was all into it, and then finished and now...don't have the next one. All checked out at the library, don't really want to buy one.
So... in the meantime, I picked up "Nine Stories" by J.D. Salinger.
(from my downstairs guest room/ bookstore!)
I was really into all his stuff in high school, so it had been awhile. Very abrupt and poignant.
Then last nite I heard Colbert talking about J.D. Salinger. He's still alive. Writing, but not publishing.
I loved the following passage from Uncle Wiggily in Conecticut:

"Like hell it is. Who called who? And who came two hours late? You're gonna stick around till I'm sick of you. The hell with your lousy career."


For some reason I just can relate to that concept- your lousy career!!

This is a picture of J.D. Salinger
