Planes and Trains and Lion Manes

Sunday: Adventure Day!!

A Balsa wood flyer just for me. Some assembly required.

It was awfully windy. I was nervous for my little guy.

It took a spirally nose dive

It's final resting place

A gourd was found!! And named Hairy. And added to my collection.

My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired.

After a successful spin class yesterday, I decided to skip yoga today and, ummmmm, eat cheese.
But not just any cheese, semi hard Iberico from the ole Wheatsville, recommended to me by a certain Amazonian blogosphere pal.
It did not let me down. In fact, I should have bought more because it and the Baba-Ganoush I bought while there quickly became my dinner.

I then remembered I have a test tomorrow, which may or may not confirm that I will suck as a future teacher, and so I decided to study at Quacks. While there (and still here), I decorated this guy, with their shortbread eyeball cookies. (Yes, I had a gourd in my purse.) They also have really delicious Hibiscus tea, which I am having mixed with a bit of lemonade.

My painting professor gave us next Tuesday (election day) off from class. He said he wants us to stay at home and "enjoy being citizens."

I want every day to be Citizen Day.

Gourd Series Continued

I taught my gourds how to play bagpipes. 

(Yes, I made my gourd a kilt)

Gourd Series

I am a gourd lady. 

I admit that I have a problem. I see them, and I just have to have them. 

I give them as gifts though. (Unfortunately I gave away my favorite, most phallic gourd of ALL TIME and may never see it again)

So I've decided to create a gourd series. 

And dress my little guys up. 

Or decorate them. 

And then photograph them. 

All for my satisfaction and your viewing pleasure.
