9:36pm
I'm craving insect noises
Sweet & sticky humidity
Grassy fields w/wild flowers
Southern drawls
Thunder rumbling off aways
A balmy breeze
Vic's damp hand around mine
Eyes closed
Listening to nature

Jo,
I'm really enjoying your "timepieces." They are so short and simple, but a capture the moment so well. Also like your artwork with them!

Thank you Lizzi. Not sure where I got the idea from ('it just came to me!') but I'm having fun with it and it's getting me to write nearly every day, which I need desperately to do.

I love that term -- timepieces. Perfect for these. This is the time of year that we yearn for summer.

I'm not actually a fan of summer. (High heat and/or humidity and my health don't get along well). There are brief times when I don't mind the warmth and humidity brings out the scents in my gardens and it's like heaven. (It's amazing to stand among the flowers just before a storm). What I'm really longing for right now I think is some quiet time in nature with Hubb's. (A trip up to the family cabin in PA is nearing, I can feel it!)

Thanks Thauna! I'm having fun with them by doing the little color pieces and it's getting me to write nearly every day, which is great.

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!

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

Welcome & thank you for visiting my post! For more Halloween fun today & throughout the weekend, visit A Fanciful Twist . For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (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...

Not Exactly Music To My Ears and Acceptance

Went to my 'every 6 weeks' follow-up doctor's appointment with my Rheumologist yesterday morning. Apparently my heart palpitations/racing (not often, though enough to be noticeable), vision issues (blurriness and discomfort) and muscle cramps (too often & not dehydration) are "disease progression." Not exactly music to my ears I can tell you that much. We discussed my pain & swelling levels (back on the rise through the last 2 iv treatments) and agreed that my iv med should be increased from 400mg every 8 weeks to 500mg every 8 weeks. (This brings me closer to the area of 800mg, which Dr. A feels would be the max dose for me, and the fact that I'm getting closer to that mark scares me). One good thing to note, my blood pressure was "normal" for (at least) the 3rd follow-up in row and without meds, so at least that's one less thing for me to worry about (though it's like a needle in a hay stack really). I'm always on the verge ...
