You know I am fascinated by the Moon, don't you? Last night was the most beautiful moonlit night. I swear to you, the white flowers turned to magic lanterns!

Blue Moon-coming soon

when there is a blue moon, the moon has a face and talks to the items in it's moonlight.

I gave my mailbox a makeover. It is now very unique and colorful. The boys have been supportive of the project, but I don't think they care for the result. Did I mention it's very unique and colorful?

Monday Night at the Bookstore

Most Monday nights you will find me at the thrift store, poring over the fine selection of used books. The book above made me think of Bilja, who shares my love of apples. (The scent of an apple rivals the most fragrant rose, if you ask me) I also bought the following titles:

• PIC-Jack Keroac's last novel
• Frommer's Paris
• Fodor's France
• Tennis Strokes & Strategies-as if I even need to read this, I get the ball over the net almost every time now
• The Rise of Brandenburg-Prussia to 1786
• The Overcoat and The Nose-Nikolai Gogol
• North American Birdfeeder Handbook-did you know I love birdwatching?

message from a dear friend

When you come to the edge of all that you know,

you must believe in one of two things:

there will be earth upon which to stand,

or you will be given wings.

Race Day

Yesterday we held a marathon at school to raise money for a track, and boy are my legs tired.
