Orange Lily

My lilies have come UP! I'm so super excited, because I bought the bulbs at the supermarket a couple of years ago, and planted them about two months too late.
My planting skills are very "survival of the fittest" with planting planting planting--then no tending--then seeing what survives. You can grow your own way, my little Fleetwood lily.

Non-toxic doesn't mean squat.

Cupcakes!, originally uploaded by feathermar.

So, I love to bake cupcakes because I love to eat cupcakes. On top of that, I have never ever used fondant before, and I'm pretty sure I pronounce it wrong when I say it aloud. But it sure is fun to make into polka dots. It's like edible modeling clay.
But "edible" doesn't mean you should eat a lot of it. Because you might get sick. Just like "non-toxic" markers shouldn't be licked. Even though you can lick 'em. You just shouldn't . It's not a good idea

This is Gail, Carter and Lochlain.
Carter, obviously dressed for a covert operation, sits next to Gail.
Lochlain, on the top step, is making his cheese face, which is squishy and totally adorable.

Seanie!

This is Seanie, a little older. He's pretty smiley most of the time. Though here, I think his teeth are being quite a bother.

Dear Friends,
This is my homage to spoons.

Well, you can teach a boy to do the thumbs up, but you can't make him happy about it. I guess it's like out of context for him or something. But that doesn't mean you don't want to poke his little cheeks.

Dude, Alpacas are hilarious.

And that's all I have to say about that.

This is Baby Sean. He is my god
son. We have a good time together, though he doesn't do much yet. Pretty much he stares at you for a while, and then he might smile, and then he tries to match noises that you might make. Sometimes he blows bubbles with his spit, which is only cute when babies do it.

It is hard to believe that after so much time, the bubble Christ has come.
But he has come.
And he's moving to a North Carolina town near you.
And far from me.
Here, he raises the bubbles, while his niece (who may or may not be his partner in crime once she learns some more words of manipulation) looks on.

Though to tell you the truth, I may read Bitter librarians if it is superbitter.

I'm pretty sure that some higher being will view the show "My Super Sweet Sixteen" and decide to start the apocalypse.

And that higher being would be right to do so.

Seriously, kill me now.

I am a librarian who used to be a writer. I am a knitting, supergluing, soon-to-be sewing chickie who likes to take lots of pictures with a somewhat fancy camera.
