And The Wind Whispers Lucy

Windy Lucy

Usually after a few crazy runs and body slams at the dog park, Lucy takes a break by positioning herself at the far end of the park and taking a seat. She just sits and surveys all the goings ons, sometimes just waiting for a good target. Yesterday it was very windy so as she sat and observed, it was a bonus that she got a noseful of information from far and wide. Kinda like reading the evening news.

And yes, Lucy’s a Hendrix fan.

Spring Equinox Egg Myth Debunked!

Egg on end2

Just wanted to settle this once and for all as I know it weighs heavily on all your minds. ;o)

On March 20, the vernal equinox, I posted a photo of an egg balanced on its end and explained that previously, I had only been able to do this on the first day of spring—that it didn’t work for me any other time of the year. Well, yesterday, ten days into spring, I tried it again and voila! I used the same egg (thank you, W and Lucy, for not eating it) and placed it in approximately the same spot. Confirming what I had read, a commenter wrote that she had seen it done months before spring. Other commenters wrote that they didn’t have time to try it or they missed it, so they were going to wait and try it next year. No need to wait a whole year to waste your time, folks.

Watching Elvis dance on an egg wasn’t a waste, though, was it? Don’t answer that…

Mellow Yellow Monday No. 12

Flower and bee

Mellow Yellow Monday comes to mind now whenever I see a potential “yellow” pic. I’ve swapped out my earlier photo of a yellow pansy as I didn’t realize how badly focused it was until published…aaargh! Please follow the links to see a whole bunch more of the beautiful color, yellow!

Dew On A Spider’s Web

Dew on a web

I probably wouldn’t have captured this very well except for the heavy dew that clung to the web’s spinnerets. It was so delicate, a real work of art. I’ll only allude to what happened when my coat sleeve accidentally snagged a supporting branch. I really shouldn’t be allowed out and about in nature… :o(

Thanks to Lana over at The Dreaming Tree for turning me on to SkyWatch Friday.

Goofin’ Off…Again

earthtoholly

Okay, so I was planning on getting all kinds of stuff done yesterday when I came across Mark Rayner’s blog, The Skwib (a funny place, in a good way!), and noticed his post on making your own superhero. Hmmm…do I smell a distraction? Sure do. So, on to The Hero Factory I went and created my very own superhero! Here she is, and maybe a little ‘splainin’ is in order…

That’s really my hair—a usually short do that hasn’t seen a trim FOR MONTHS. And I love cycling (although the basement has held my bike hostage for a few years now…negotiations are underway), hence the racing garb in beautiful Bianchi celeste [*shiver*]. And the stick? While I could’ve had a sword or a gun or nun-chucks even, Lucy likes a nice stick on her walks to tug on. And it doubles nicely for smacking other cyclists who don’t yell “ON YOUR LEFT!” when passing. And the bod? It came from the family gene pool—just not my family.

So, named The Fantastic Splintery Splinter (where did I go wrong—was it the stick?), I’ll change it to Sprintery Sprinter, once the bike and I get back on the road…

Now, go goof off…
