In Full Bloom

Ummm, excuse me....

To whom do I complain about the weather situation?

The weather man?

Mother Nature?

The Big Guy upstairs?

Believe it or not, the forecast is calling for MORE rain.

Our first chance for a good day is not for another week.

(Come ON!... Can't we just have a good-ish Fourth of July at LEAST?

How about overcast? ... I will settle for overcast!)

Anyhoo, we got some new fabrics in the shop.

They are from the line called "Full Bloom" by Bari Ackerman for Windham Fabrics.

I understand that Bari is a girl's name and it rhymes with "starry."

As much as I hate the weather forecast I LOVE the painterly quality to these fabrics.

I love the Bird print, but I am a huge sucker for birds.

Did I tell you that Ollie and I got Zebra finches?

They make the COOLEST noises.

We call them Cornelius and Mr. Allnut.

Cornelius is a boy (so far as we can tell) and Mr. Allnut is a girl (so far as we can tell).

Why do we call the girl "Mr." Allnut, you are asking.

Oh, it's a long story but it is all my doing.

My little sister refuse to accept these names and has given them alternate names of Bobo and Squawkers.

Not bad...

My friend Kristine let her little boys name their two goldfish and they are now called Pizza Man and Wowie.

The one called Wowie is one of those Goldfish with the HUGE googly eyes, so he really does look like a Wowie.

And I am rambling here BIG time but did I mention that it is raining?

At the very least the rain is a really good excuse for feeling Blah...

Alright, I am off in search of breakfast.

Stay tuned: my 150th post is coming up here and I just might do something cuh-RAZY!

XO,
