A sparkle-spangled morning...

The sun comes early now, working its way to that longest day of the year. I was up before 6, and with my morning coffee I found sparkles twinkling in the front room through the holes in the blinds. The sparkles and shadows fascinate me, something so elusive....I had to try and capture them in the moment. Many pictures later, these are the best of the bunch. I'm pleased with the first one.. The second one isn't bad, and gives you a glimpse into my tiny cottage. A little doll from Patti can be seen leaning by the Rayo lamp. The lamp is an old, dented railroad lamp. I have it's gas parts, but converted it to electricity. My Dad found it, I know it's connected to one of the 3 railroads that ran through my home town. It seems I've had it forever.....longer than I can remember.

And of course someone who lives here...*S*....can't bear it if I am paying too much attention to something else....LOL. She looks pretty funny hiding behind that curtain to see what all the fuss is about. And her eye, with the curtain trim across it. I went outside to snap some flower pictues in the cool freshness of morning. The July heat of yesterday (it was in the low 90's) gave way over night...this morning found us with a lovely 54 degrees....very much like September. Talk about a change! The flowers pictures will keep, but I'll share my yellow shoes. Jean found them for me at a yard sale. They really are carved wooden shoes painted bright yellow. I plan on planting some sedem in them soon. Most sedem(like hens'n'chicks)have very shallow root systems and work well in odd containers.

They do make a nice spring picture, don't they? Help yourself with a right-click if it makes you happy....*VBS* I'll post it over in Webshots also.
