Is it really Thursday again, already? Whew! Crazy-times. (Oops, it’s Friday now! Hah.) So hard not to be a totally nocturnal marsupial these days! ♡ The other night I had insomnia and stayed up way too late reading Lil Wayne interviews and developing a big crush. Oh Weezy. Here’s a treat, if by chance you’re [...]
I really only have a teensy snoppet of time just now- but as it happens to be Thursday, (well it was when I started writing this, anyway!) I feel moved to thank my lucky stars for some bits of assorted amazingness I’ve been experiencing lately: ♡ It finally rained yesterday! We’ve been in a terrible [...]

I remember a few years ago, in New Orleans, I bought a carton of strawberries at the Farmer’s Market. I had become somewhat ambivalent about them over the years, having eaten far too many over-inflated, pale and watery mutants with no flavor to speak of. They left me disappointed and thinking that strawberries weren’t really [...]
Good things: I received a surprise parcel this week from my long-lost friend Herr von der Goltz- it contained a disc- Music of the Tatar People and a book from 1903, German Wit and Humor. I love the nouveau cover! So sweet- I am cheered. I can’t describe the joy I feel at wandering around [...]
I look forward to the Krewe of Eris parade every year- it usually happens on the weekend before Mardi Gras, and this year (it occurred back in February, mind) it was quite chilly indeed. Luckily we were all able to augment our ensembles to accommodate both the theme and the weather! Last year we all [...]
The Great Easter Egg Hunt of 2009 was a definite success- children frolicked, bonnets were flaunted, and delectables devoured! The rain came early in the morning, leaving us a perfect golden afternoon. This is my little neighbour, Miss Adelle Rose- is she not the prettiest child you have ever seen? My family and friends brought [...]
I had a late night earlier this week, stayed up painting, pushing it all to the wall in order to have it done by morning. You reach the state of mind, alone in the studio, where time stops. It reverses and starts up again but with phosphor in all the cogs, it turns to jelly. [...]

All of a sudden it is really and truly Spring, and I can’t even begin to say how relieved I am. Not that winter here is so insufferable- (it’s really so mild and short) but ever since we started our little orchard, this has become my favorite season! Everything is blooming like crazy, and the [...]

Sometime around midnight tonight I shall hit the road, traveling down that old familiar highway to make my pilgrimage, to celebrate my most favorite holiday- yes, darlings, it is Mardi Gras time! I never got around to sharing these photos from last year- I was preparing to when I found out that my friend Vi [...]

Valentine’s day quickly approaches in a whirlwind of heart-shaped confetti and tattered calendar pages- as usual, there’s more occurring all at once this week than I could possibly attend even if I had an army of clones at my disposal (which, incidentally, is not a bad idea!) Although I shudder to think of what mischief [...]
