Earth Day! (updated)

Earth Day countdown banner

well, here's my little contribution in celebration of earth day today ~

not turning on any of the lights until dark (which i do normally & i tend to light candles on cloudy days just because i prefer candle light!) - walking to the library, hardware store and foodstore instead of driving the truck (which i do often, not all the time, so i can get out for a walk) - cleaning up all the trash that winds up along the creek that runs along side of the property (i only go on the other side of the fence into the creek area once a year ~ yick! ~ i pick up trash along our fence line as needed!) ...

and i'm going to plant the celosia seeds (harvested in november!) that i found last night as i started a MAJOR cleaning in our bedroom! (i didn't know dust bunnies could get that big!) lots of stuff to throw away, lots of stuff stacked in the corner for the town yard sale next month! i still have to go through my book case and my closet, but the rest of this room is done! (thank goodness! and i started in the bedroom this time around because when i start at the opposite end of the house in the kitchen, i just don't feel like cleaning anymore by the time i get back here to the bedroom!)

oh and before i forget ~ READ THIS BOOK: "Loving Frank" by Nancy Horan. what an amazing achievement for ms. horan! it's her 1st novel! i'll get to more later!

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

2009 Halloween Fete! (Saturday October 17, 2009) **UPDATED!** This shindig is still going strong!

Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook

(Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun
