Honey Chain

when did we move to hotlanta?

i’m going through one of those phases where everything is in my head and none of it is in my hands. you know, when there are lots of ideas a brewing but not so much action. i think i’ve been like this for most of the year, definitely the summer. i see all these possibilities but i don’t want to work on any of it. not right now. maybe later. maybe tomorrow. i don’t necessarily feel bad about it. i feel a little guilty every once in a while. if i haven’t left a trail of projects in my wake how will i know i was there? on the other hand, i have never had so many super cool ideas all at the same time. so, i just keep writing them down and later, when i’m finished living in my head, i’ll be one massive, prolific, project machine. or something like that.

plant some flowers.

from the video’s info:
“It is a fact of nature: When a honey bee returns to the hive after finding a good source of nectar, it will perform a unique dance for its hive mates, detailing the distance, quality and quantity of the new food supply.”

i am grateful for…wild canaries…bluejays…hummingbirds…bumble bees…bats (i’m almost positive there was one in my yard the other night. yay!)…finding a praying mantis in the lemon balm…

i received an email today, from a stranger, saying that i had the attention span of a gnat (i paraphrase because really the email was quite rude) and i should be on medication. i will admit that i am easily distracted by shiny objects, but medication? really? i’m gonna pass.

i. must. make. a bat shawl. yes, i know i just said i wanted to make sweaters and then there’s the bazillion socks i’m going to make by next spring and projects around the house and i haven’t forgotten that the knitting olympics summer trials are right around the corner. it’s just that it’s a shawl. with bats on it. plus, if i make it soon i can i wear it halloween and then all through november while i write a novel about demons for nanowrimo.

You Are Occasionally a Narcissist

While you have healthy self esteem, you’re really not that full of yourself. Compared to most people, you’re quite humble!Though occasionally, you can’t help and reflect on how great you are. There’s nothing wrong with being proud of yourself - as long as you don’t let it go to your head!

Are You a Narcissist?

this was one of my favorite songs when i was 9

1. there are 6 properties using 11 fences bordering my property. all, but one of the fences, are in serious disrepair. ugh. i’m not exactly sure what i’m going to do about it, but im definitely doing something about it by next spring.

2. there is this very lovely, old, victorian house i walk by all the time. it’s been empty for a while and needs quite a bit of work. i’m so happy because yesterday i saw people fixing the porch.

3. there were 2 hummingbirds in my yard this morning. woo hoo! hummingbirds are awesome!

when you toss a penny it is more likely to land tails up than heads up because the heads picture of a penny weighs more than the tails picture.
