*Found the neatest place to play online last night called Colourlovers.com and some of you might know them from the designs they offer for Twitter backgrounds. Lots to putzy with and such a visual wonderland. That's where I found my retro teacup/cupcake background---two of my favorite things. :)
*I was reading part of an Elizabeth von Arnim book on my Kindle the other night (will have to fetch it to find the title), and the main character spent the first few pages just resting. She would spend days just being alone and not doing anything. The thing is, I feel the same way. Am trying to gather the where-with-all to finish up the week's schoolwork with the kids but find myself just melting instead. The energy's pretty much gone and I have no enthusiasm. Spring fever, perhaps?
*But did work up the energy to pot some petunias and impatiens on Sunday, and put some vinca in the ground. It had been a wonderfully, drizzly sort of day and I looked wretched by the time I was done. The porch is all prettied up now and it's, once again, a nice place to sit.
*Daisy the pug has a bit of an intestinal problem, that thankfully is clearing up. A fellow dog-lover neighbor shared that canned pumpkin helps with that and I'll go out later and get some. Supposedly just a teaspoon or two can help. I think we bought some iffy canned dog food the other day because both pugs were a bit ill over the weekend. We already have to be very careful with Daisy because of her bladder stones, so this sort of adds insult to injury for her to have to deal with this. Sweet pug.
*One plug for an e-book I'm thick into---this one is 'The Old Stone House & Other Stories' by Anna Katharine Green. I found this one at Girlebooks.com and it was a free download. Dishy. I've not gotten to the 'other stories' part of the book, but am still on the first one. Seems the published date was originally 1891, if I'm not mistaken (which is either likely or possible). Excellent writing, in my opinion. Girlebooks is a superb site for free/inexpensive e-book downloads. So pretty and well-done besides.
*Must go now and make myself useful. Not to imply that I'm lazy, though, am I?
