Georgia and the Dahlia

Over the Spring I planted four dahlia bulbs and so far only one has bloomed. How sad for me...they were a fushcia and funky apple green color...I really wanted a green flower to bloom...Anywho, see my four legged tot? How cute is that :)

Brilliante Weblog

Due to my utter laziness I am just now posting the lovely award I received from Carli, Monica, Ratlion and Gaia.

Here are the rules:
Put the logo on your blog
Add a link to the person who awarded you
Nominate at least 7 other blogs
Add links to those blogs on yours
Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs.

Unfortunately, because I behaved like the lazy grasshopper it appears EVERYONE has received the award :(

On the other hand if you want to read a funny post about the award (and see a cute award with eyes) visit Mike R Baker!

The DMV and Georgia's birthday

Nothing like standing at the DMV for hours just to get your eyes checked --- I started to question whether I really needed my license and with the price of gas maybe I should dust off my bicycle (but where would I put the greyhound? - tuck her in the flower basket up front?) I used this time to sketch my fellow new yorkers and write witty observations - well, not so much witty; more like derelict, but whatever...you say potato and I say spell it with an "e" (if ya get the reference you were paying attention and alive in the 90's- and smarter than a politician)

On a cheerful note, today is my rescue greyhound's fourth birthday. Asked what she wanted to do she flopped down on the couch and let out her famous greyhound sigh. She is easy to please...

Also, Georgia's friend, Cookie the dachshund, sent an email wishing her a happy birthday with the above photo attached! :)

Sketching from the tele

Late last night I decided to pull out the sketchbook and draw faces from the t.v. as I channel surfed...

Zucchini

This is what I found hiding in my garden today. I knew I had some tiny zucchini, but it wasn't until I got down on the ground that I noticed a 13 1/2" zucc. nestled (and hiding I might add) in the large leaves! Guess what's for dinner? :)
