I thoroughly enjoyed our taste of spring today. I had the windows open from the time I got up until sundown. I wrote this morning. Was unable to identify a new feathered visitor out back and watched the Cardinals, the Blue Jay & the Morning Doves off & on (all day). Went to the library downtown with Mom & Aunt Judy this afternoon so they could check out the books for sale. Did LOTS of laundry. Hubby came home early. We spent the evening on the couch, having dinner & watching tv. I picked up knitting my earthy colors scarf.

I checked out 2 audio books this afternoon, "Pilgrims" by Elizabeth Gilbert (unfortunately not read by her) and "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, read by Sissy Spacek. (One of my all time favorite reads and I love Sissy so I couldn't resist!)

Needing another cup of green tea (decaff given the hour) & a snack, I heated some raspberry preserves & drizzled it over one of the angel foodcake cupcakes I got at Foodtown earlier on the way home. YUM!

The cats are all sleeping out here in the livingroom. Some are snoring! It's time for me to get some rest too. There's a spot on my right tonsil and a bit of pain going from that area into my ear. I used my Neti Pot after dinner to help cleanse my nasal & sinus passages as I've been clogged up for a couple of days now. (It really helps & I should do it even when I'm feeling alright). I'm doubling up on some vitamins & drinking extra green tea. I want to kick this - antibiotics aren't working at all for me anymore. So, I'll try do to it myself.

It was a very good day! From beginning to end. Friday on the other hand, ack. Throat isn't getting better but I got to the doctor for a follow up tomorrow morning so we'll see what he says to do.

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...

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...
