    It is a truth universally acknowledged, that women love Jane Austen and Virginia Woolf.
    Why? That's the topic od another post?

    I have to actually confess that sometimes they scare me when I am gardening (I mistake them for really large bumble bees...:}

    Connie;
    The weekend flew by too quickly, as usual. So here's to a good week.

    MomyBlogR;
    I love tulips because of their symbolism for spring and fresh new beginnings...

    SkyeBlue;
    It's hard to just pick one flower...

    Chloe;
    When I frist read your comment I was on my first cup. Now I'm on my third.

    What are you up to today?

  1. Blogger Stephanie said:

    I've not had enough of an attention span to do these this week, but I can say impatience is mine too. And yellow tulips are my favorite flowers :)

    Hope you have a good week!

    i'm baking a red lentil-cheese savoury "cake"
    i'm trying to write easter recipes
    and meeting my son's teachers in the afternoon. and you?

  1. Blogger Cathy said:

    Chloe;
    I am home with both children and we've just made our list of things we're going to do:
    1. play a short game on a children's web site
    2. make crafts/scrapbook
    3. play downstairs
    4. play with wooden train set
    5.clean the house

    Wanna trade lives for today?
    (although I'd probably ruin your "cake" and say something rude to the teacher...)

  1. Blogger Cathy said:

    Stephanie;
    I will send you some virtual tulips later today :)

  1. Blogger x said:

    i want to trade lives yes!
    and i'm going to say something rude to the teachers too, so noone would notice we changed places.

    Hi! Here via fjl and the world gets smaller. Funny you should mention the word a-bout as it does usually denote a Canadian and I find it very difficult to reproduce.
    I'm afraid I prefer reading about V Woolf and the Bloomsbury lot -rather than reading her.
    Healing would be fine - in small doses or one would be a wreck.

    Chloe;
    Might I remind you; two boys; 4 and 8 months...might you want to reconsider...

    Will;

    Thanks for playing.

    no
    Green
    yes
    yes
    Outgoing, but I don't like being in the spotlight at ALL.
    I love being with my family but something that I would do just for me....is taking pictures.
    Toop 40 and 80's music...it just brings me back.
    Rebel, but it's alway with a cause.
    MomyblogR...I think that says it best.
