Come with me on this sunshine day!

Plump heather against moss on the drive way, color! I had to go out for yellow paint and on my way I stopped in at the terrible thrift store where these things were in the dolly bin. 

Children do not look like that...humans are way cuter than these dollys.... but...wait....

A friend just posted  new grand baby photos- This is  one!! so, yeah, guess I was wrong! ( really she is darling- this is not the usual expression of young Ella) Hilarious .

From there I went to the Assistance League, never intending to buy anything...But for a dollar, I mean really, could you pass up these exquisite purchases?

Rag rabbit stitched in a wild way , probably some one's failed project which needed a home, someone to care for it, and so, there it lives on the sofa.

This tile , charming though well bashed and crazed, will be going off to Fresca because she has a collection of one and this will add to it nicely. The Fresca- two - fish - Collection. Povvo art.

I brought home Indian man, a Nora Welling creation from the 20's or so. Here he is looking wary , greeted by Orphan, who reassured him that this was indeed a very nice place to live, that he would not be sorry and gave him an orphan hand shake , which is probably the most welcoming gesture plastic could offer. he is fine with it so far, has a hole in his bum so I will get out the orange thread and make a repair. The orphans will help sooth and comfort during the surgery.

I left behind the hand carved wooden church for some one else to buy, though the orphans may have enjoyed making it a club house. Too huge, too churchy.  Too someone else's gig. I bought  fabric ,because I am a fabric whore and can not let any of it escape my clutches. I will sew again, I promise myself. Sweet patterns, a bag full for a buck.

Cubby's humans have gone to Coco Beach to meet up with family and have a grand ol time with new baby, Finn. Babies are just popping out like spores these days. Hasn't anyone gotten the memo about climate change and the challenges we are facing? Oh, and now the horrendous ten million pound island of toxic  bloom that is growing exponentially due to ...you guessed it, HUMANS, is taking over the Keys and southern beaches, toxic and impossible to clean up - Remember day of the Triffids? Or The Blob? Welcome to sci-fi  no longer "fi". 

 On a happier note:

 Cubby has a house/pet sitter so he is in good hands. She has a gentle elderly pooch so Cubby has the best companion . She also volunteers at the "Animal Therapy" farm where Cubby met the biggest dogs he has ever seen.

In his wildest dreams he never imagined  this!! Plus there are Llamas and goats and sheep and more of the biggest dogs that smell so nice. A slice of paradise. Plus sunshine, Beautiful day, cold but who cares when the sun comes out?

Cubby is glad and is still the cutest pup in the world! His humans will be gone for two weeks and he is  all like honey badger at the moment.

So that is the day of sunshine in this neighborhood. I am off to go feed Peg now. She has been very patient. she would tap her toes while she glares through the window, but she can't. One leg.
