~Contest Reminder~


The house sits atop a lush green hill in a quiet valley.
The sky is bluer than a robin's egg,
and clouds dance in the heavens as if no one's watching...
Apples hang on the trees waiting for a hand
to pluck their ripeness from a branch.
At night the moon crawls past my windows
and I can hear the old man laughing.
Welcome home, dear one, welcome home.

    Lilypad still rocks pretty hard, though.

  12. ~~Eternity... Your input is always welcome and no worries...you are full swing in the most creative time of your life. Motherhood. That takes lots of creativity. Thanks for 3 great names. Hugzzz~~

    ~~kenju... I'm liking Lily Pad, too! Gives me visuals. Good ones. LOL Hugzzz~~

    ~~Linda... Thank you! I could do a painting off the first one in a heartbeat! White Lily Cloud conjures up all sorts of whimsy in my head. Hugzzz~~

    ~~Mother Moon... Isn't it a doozy?? I found it on the side of the road. Oh... I had Superman putting the brakes on big time! He loves that about me...thank da good Lawd... cause I make him stop all the time for me. I have an upcoming blog about some other recent curb side finds. Big Yum! Hugzzz~~

    ~~Rae... Wowzers! I love your input! Xanadu reminds me of Olivia Newton John. Love that girls voice! I love the peaceful flow of all your suggestions. Heartland Cottage gives me ideas... and of course I'm rockin' on Cloud Nine. Makes me wanna sing some Stones... Hugzzz, my precious~~

    ~~Nina P... You go girl! Look at all that creativity flowing out of you! I am lovin' this! Superman is chuckling, I'm sure, at all the sweet mentions of him in the comments. Super heroes can blush, ya know... Opie is chuckling [ok make that guffawing] about "Momma's Tractor Hill" He said it's even funnier watching me maneuver those ski slopes in the front yard. Must be my facial expressions... Thank you, Nina P! Hugzzz~~

    ~~Miss Judy Squirrel Queeeeen... Oh what fun. Opie is pulling out his French Dictionary. We're both loving the swanky oooo la la la and talking all French-like. Like Pep E La Pew.[spelled phonetically of course] "Oui Oui" <<<< [Opie was trying to impress Miss Cindy Lou Who] Hugzzz~~

    ~~TC... I will go back to see if you left a comment elsewhere on a post. I believe you are correct that you had another submission. I'm on it like Sherlock! Please accept my apology on missing it...nothing to do with good or bad...it's all good, including my mentalpause. Ahem, you may quote me on that one, too. =] Peace House feels good, feels like I feel when I wake up here. Thanks so much. Superman thanks you, too!~~~

    ~~~Funny in my mind... Slam dunks on those, girl! This is so much fun reading everyone's suggestions! Noted and put in the hat, Miss Funny Pants! I'm liking your energy! Hugzzz~~

    ~~~Jean.. That Cloud Nine is sassy. But so is Hoochie Mamma's. That makes me wanna shimmy, shake, and get slinky. I hear the song, "Let's Give Em Something To Talk About"... I promise I'll dress appropriately when I mow... [maybe hehehehe] Thanks for stopping by again! Hugzzz~~~

    ~~~Mark... Opie has a thumb up for this one. Well, actually it is an entire paw. He obviously is innocent about this one, and didn't read my reply to Jean. He thinks slinky is a toy you play with. Truthfully, at one time in the 80's I was going to open a shop strictly for cat lovers, and name it "The Cat House". I was going to bill it as the only legal cat house in the state of CA. LOL I could have shimmied all the way to the bank... Hugzzzz!

    ~~the water cats... Speaking of cats... here's my favorite singing cats in the whole wide world! [psssst everyone...you need to check these cats out! Go visit them. You'll see why I love em so much!] I love that red bench, too, Vicki! It screams sass and looks so spectacular in the garden. I'm leaving it out this winter so I can get some great shots of it dressed in a shawl of snow. Hugzzzz to my Irish cats~~

    Maybe you could do with the name like most people do with computer desktop backgrounds--change it out every now and then.
