I must be. I just heard the title in Mr. Roger's voice. In my head. I think. Rather than out loud. I have approximately half a day of painting left to do. And it's all latex so my auditory hallucinations have nothing to do with fumes. Project China is very close to conclusion. All I have to say is, I swear if I cut myself I will bleed Olympic Mocha Suede B14-2. Beige. Don't leave home without it.

Boys in Sunglasses
So there's this other blogger who is way more famous than me. The hell you say! Yes, it's true. Her name is Maggie Mason and she recently gave birth to an adorable baby boy. She posted a photo of the baby and her older son today and it made me seriously teary-eyed with a momentary longing for my own boys when they were much wee-er than they currently are. In answer to that longing I thought I'd post a pretty darn cute pic of Michael and Reid from twentyish years ago. There. I feel better. Cute never gets old. Especially when wearing shades.
PlayBuzz Says I Have Been Through This Many Incarnations
3,722 Times
You have seen thousands of lifetimes through
centuries of history. While you haven't been
reincarnated millions of times, you are not new
to the challenges and joys of life. You are level-
headed, make well-considered decisions, and
work hard for what you want. You carry with you
the life of the leader of a wolf pack, a honeybee
cooperating in a hive, and a mighty maple tree
gripping the side of a cliff with its roots. Your lives
continue to influence you. The evidence is in how
you are not petty and appreciate your blessings.

Michael's Maple
The silver maple tree is so leaded with seeds this year that it appears more tan than green. This happens on sort of a three year cycle. Which means I will be pulling hundreds of baby maple trees, known in this instance as weeds, from every possible place they might choose to lodge themselves and sprout. This includes but is by no means limited to flower beds and pots, the compost, cracks in the driveway, the rain gutters, and the spaces in between the deck boards. I do wish they would be a little more sensible about proper spacing.
Einstein With Bluebird
In case you hadn't noticed, yes, it is near the end of the month, and yes, I am behind on blogging and am obviously padding my self-imposed posting expectations with cat pictures. It's what y'all show up here for, right?
Brown Thumb
Today the sun is shining. So maybe I'll get all these plants potted. I would like to thank Mother Nature for keeping them watered over the last week. It remains to be seen if I'll do as good a job for the rest of the summer.
