I weep so forlornly when I consider the number of days that have passed since I've taken to my keyboard and "waxed eloquently" on the pages of my electronic journal . . .
Can you tell I'm (re)reading
Anne of Green Gables right now??! LOL! The post title is an Anne Shirley quote, too. I do love that cheeky little wordsmith! And since I'm reporting for Bibliophile Files, I thought it only fitting to kick it off that way. The sentiment is true, just a little more "fluffed" than I'd typically write it!
So, I'd downloaded the
Anne of Green Gables Stories, which includes all but two of the series (
Anne of Windy Poplars and
Anne of Ingleside, which are still under copyright, so I downloaded them separately) and have never got around to them. With a week of vacation stretching out ahead of me (that includes some long flying time), I decided the time was now!
I also downloaded Laura Child's Agony of the Leaves 'tea shop mystery' for a little diversity! Her reads are such fun -- and I always glean such great recipes! Haha!
And I'll just admit it, I'm a big fan of
ereaderiq.com, and visit it weekly to check out their kindle freebies. This is what my email looked like yesterday afternoon:
They're free and I store them on icloud, so no harm done, right? Talk about cheeky . . . !
I did finish my crazy patchwork pumpkin . . .
Isn't it darling? I will enjoy putting it out in the proper timing. In the meantime, I continue to coax our volunteer pumpkin plant to put forth a pumpkin (yes, I'd settle for ONE)!
I read that a pumpkin plants flowers first with male flowers, and then flowers out with female flowers. And you can tell the difference because female flowers have a tiny pumpkin at the base! I'm still waiting for a female flower.
The grands are all doing well and enjoying summer fun! I love my Monday evenings with the Panter crew . . .
(Shown here minus the youngest, who was already in bed.) They are such loves! Ellie had the opportunity to be a flower girl at her Aunt Jenna's wedding, and June came along for the ride (and the wedding cake).
They both had such a blast on the dance floor -- and were definitely a joy to watch!
Still puttering away on my Tea for One pieces. I've finished outlining the letters and am working on the cup and saucer.
Not sure yet what I'm going to do with the flowers yet. I want to do something with a little 'bling' to it. Whether that will end up being metallic floss or beading, I haven't decided!
Caught a great shot of some of my favorite yellow wildflowers and a winged friend in the upper meadow of the camp . . .
I shared it on instagram and facebook, but it's such a pretty photo, I wanted to share it here, too! I also caught this really pretty sunrise photo, coming down the road outside the camp, heading to work one morning . . .
Originally there was a cell phone tower and a car in the picture, but I photo-shopped them out. Turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself!
