Allow me to Introduce you to . . .

. . .  my shadow. 
I haven't seen it in a while,
but yesterday afternoon it surfaced.
All thanks to this little beauty in the sky . . .   


I stood in my driveway for 10 minutes, 
soaking in the rays. 
I'm sure, if one of my neighbors saw me from their window,
they would have thought I finally lost my marbles.
Little did they know,
I was finding them.

Nothing like a little sunshine to warm the soul.
 
PG returned last night.
And I'm taking a few days break from blogland,
as I relish in the joy of my family and sunshine.

My two favorite things.

I'll be back some time this weekend, love!

    Hi,
    I came from Lady Blogger's Tea Party and I wanted to say I liked the poetry and rhythm of your blog post. If I were your neighbour I'd totally understand standing in the sun relishing the warmth! ;)

    Ciao Leanne and best wishes for 2011, I am back at last catching up on so much that I missed while I was away from the blogsphere! Wow you wrote a lot of posts while I was away, impossible to comment on them all but I especially liked the review of 2010. also love to know what you made of Eat, Pray, Love. Did you see my review?

    Sunshine is the best. It's been a while since I've seen my shadow. I'm ready for summer now.

    I haven't been here in a while. It's nice to be back.

    Stopping by from LBTP.

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it. ...

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies?...
