The Blustery Day
2/24/2008 2:37:04 PM
It feels like a day for Winnie the Pooh and friends. . .
A storm came in from Alaska, turning our little suburb into a windy, rainy, cloudy, sunny, blustery, spring-type day.
There has to be a rainbow out there somewhere, but so far, I haven't seen it.
I created my own for a dinner party tonight (1 guest!). I put daffodils into the centerpiece vase, bought blue-green paisley napkins to go with my yellow plates. The plates have a blue and green flower in the middle.
It makes me feel like dancing. . . or watching the Academy Awards crowd arrive in all their finery, probably FREEZING in those low-cut skimpy gowns. Hollywood is only about 20 miles from here. . . but it's more like 20 million if one is counting cash.
I'm not. I'm happy with this strange and wonderful day.
