A special wedding, the blue room angels, end of season dregs and glorious rain!

 

 

Thunder, glorious rain, the cosmos bobbing wondering what is happening. It is dark and cold this morning and just my cup of tea, I must say. I am a northerner- cold weather freak.
 

Today is a birthday party for Flora Jane, in their back garden. It is intended to be a disco mermaid theme so we are hoping that the rain ceases by 2:00.

These are her pumpkins growing on the space in-between the walkway and the street. The neighborhood is the nicest in town, I reckon. Little bungalows, built in the 30's,  happy families, gardens in  every available space. 

There are several friendly well cared for cats that greet us as we walk home from the coffee shop this one, Flora informed me, got married yesterday...

Flora is interested in "Love, seriously" - She had a wedding of her own when we got home. She was to marry the prince farmer. She had a bridal party in one fancy gown, a dance at the Bridal Ball in another , and the third , her wedding gown. The Prince farmer was not there as he went on vacation to Italy where he has another wife, I was told. But that was OK, he was not needed - the event was splendid. There were multiple trips to the nursedoctor's office , behind the chair, to check the bride's heart , making sure that it was deeply and truly in "serious" love. 

Everything was set - we sang operatic tunes throughout the ceremony as the bride did spin and swirl in her white gown with a veil and crown.

The announcement was made-

"Presenting the  Married Baseball Princess of the Entire Kingdom!" 
(Flora is keen on baseball, has a pretty good arm , announces play by play  like a pro!) 

I gave Emmett his farting pig. Pig was invited to the wedding to assist in the entertainment during the  wedding  dinner of popsicles in the back garden.

Flora announced from her tree house,  to the next door neighbor that she was the baseball princess and that she got married.  He expressed joy and congratulations. All was well. 

I came home to find that Dennis had purchased a gigantic electric pan from Cost co, so that he could fry bacon on the deck.

$50.00 dollar bacon- family size! The man likes bacon. The man loves gadgets!

It will have to live in the garage when not employed. 

I took a picture of the conjoined angle heads - where they now reside in the blue room above the dresser. 
 

The little painting ,peeking out from the tiny drawer of the chest that Stella gave to me, was purchased or traded for  during the ACEO trend a few years ago.  She is my favorite.

Mint , Marjoram and parsley  picked for fragrance, stuck in a vase in the blue room - smells earthy and a bit wild.  FRESH!
 

It is still raining- doesn't look good for a  disco mermaid garden party...

Fingers crossed!

( tomatoes ripening, delish!- a handful of oregano and mint and nasturtium for the upstairs , a wilting bouquet for the piano. Season's ending...

 

The little blue creamer is one that Clarrissa made about 30 years ago.
