What I did today instead of cleaning

I awoke to a morning enshrouded in fog but was determined not to let all this dreariness get me down. It’s been like this for the past four or five days and although it was perfect for a funeral, I had to admit I was getting pretty tired of it.

I looked around my house and decided it needed a good cleaning. So I quickly made plans to get out of here and take my camera.

There’s a store I love to visit when I need cheering up. It’s a combination farm market, a greenhouse/nursery and a gift shop and is in Delaware off Rte. 13.

When I got there, I asked the people behind the desk if I had permission to take some pictures and they told me to have fun. So I walked around among artful displays of accoutrements, some beautiful flowers and then finally, the food store.

And I wasn’t disappointed.

And then I came home, uploaded the photos into Flickr and visited Big Huge Labs where I made this mosaic.

And now I have some fun photos to share for the rest of the week. I posted the Leopard’s bane (bottom right photo) on my Picture A Day blog.

My husband just read me George’s horoscope. And well, here’s how it went:

Husband: Do you wanna hear  George’s horoscope for today?

Me: Horoscope? For a dog? Dogs don’t have horoscopes, honey.

Husband: Sshhh, he’ll hear you.

Me: (Rolling my eyes)

Husband: Ok, here goes:

You’re trying to make sense of a part of the world that is new to you. There is much to learn here but don’t ask questions out loud. Quiet observation is the fastest way to knowing all.

Me: Uh-huh.

Husband: Well, don’t you think that’s true? I mean, George is trying to make sense of how everything’s new this year. And he IS very quiet.

Me: He’s a dog, Andrew. It’s not like he’s going to ask questions out loud anyway.

Husband: Well, he’s quietly observing things. You have to admit that.

Me: Uh-huh.

Husband: I can see you rolling your eyes.

Me: Oh, I’m sorry you saw that. I thought the computer screen was hiding me.

I kind of think it’s sweet that he actually reads the dog’s horoscope out loud. And I kind of think he’d kill me if he actually knew I was sitting here typing what he was saying. So I better go now.

Have a wonderful evening, all!
