trah la la.....

after a long day at work,

i'm home alone.

when i'm done reading

and in a mood for some good music,

i love to turn off the lights

and light my favourite strawberry candle

play the sweetest country music
and sing along...trah la la la la la....

oh how beautiful life is!

the moon...

...is bright and beautiful tonight.

however long it may seem to have disappeared,
it knows when to shine again.

it's 12:20 am.... 

and when the moon is shinning bright,

 i become hungry for a walk.....:-)

the night is silent... bright and serene....
my bed beckons,
but i'd rather sit out and watch
this beauty my eyes feast.
desire to retire to bed is remote,
and i know why.
the air is pure
the breeze is soothing
oh what a night, what a blessing!

hush.... our busy lane is quiet tonight....
my neighbor is drunk and fighting with his wife.

poor woman.....:(
but i'm too busy watching the night.....:)

....:-)

for some reason... je ne sais pas quoi... 

i couldn't sleep last night.

so....

i pulled out a toilet roll...

and made some flowers out of it.

 now i got to find a good place for them....

.....:-)

spreading the Inspiration...

i've been inspired reading Laura @ Decor To Adore.

this post is so full of determination and inspiration. Laura talks about her dream... living it and making it real in spite of many ugly attacks of the obstacles along the way.... i've been encouraged and inspired... and so you would if you would go visit her. so be sure to read this post. I know you'll be blessed...:-)

wooo hoo!!

the book has finally arrived YAY!... oh what a treat for the weekend....:-)

thanks Betsy. Bless you!!

forgetfulness....

i boiled down a litre of milk into this.....:-) an outcome of being so in love with reading...

ok, i know i owe you an explanation here.... all i did was left the milk to boil for over 2 hours... i had reduced the flame to its minimum and thought to check back in a little while.... but then, off i went from page to page... my mind, my total attention captivated by the lines i was reading... until i heard a kind of popping sound from behind.... my tiny kitchen... it took a few seconds for me to realize that the sound was coming  from my kitchen... my poor milk in the process of transfiguration....:-)

so after i took out what remained from the over boiling and left the pot to wash, ... i texted a few of my good friends what had just happened. the 'uh ohs' and 'oh my gosh' responses are overwhelming! some replied with very helpful tips so this won't happen again in future,... some sent smileys... some sent one liner reprimands... and one of my very good friends, ... who i have come to like (and jokingly call) as my adopted uncle (LOL) has to say... "That shows how irresponsible you are"....  off course i couldn't agree more...:-)

goodness, what has obsession of books done to my system.!!..:-)) whatever it be, now  i'm going to enjoy my what i 'd like to call an egg look-a-like milky pancake.

happy mothers day mom

i have the best mom in the world... though we are separated  by many valleys and  mountains, i feel her heart is right next to me.... always loving me! i wish she were here so i could give her her favourite flowers.... her eyes always lit up when she sees flowers....love you mom.... Happy Mothers Day!!
