This weeks Theme is Soft
I love this photo!
To me it looks like this baby monkey needed a friend and was very happy to have found a nice soft stuffed duck to literally hang on to.
I know that I often try to put a little twist on the theme each week, but when I saw this photo I just had to post it. Isn’t it adorable?
Ok I know that a lot of my readers are NFL fans. I’d bet that many of you watched the Super Bowl too, didn’t you? So is that it? Do you think the NFL season is over for the next few months?
Well, if you were thinking that the NFL season is over, I hate to tell you that it’s really only just beginning again. You see, it’s time to get ready for the upcoming NFL draft. If you want to get back in the loop visit Doc Sports and see Robert Ferringos 2007 NFL Mock Draft. It’s Roberts projection for the top half of the first round.
What do you think of his draft choices? Can you do better?
If you’re an NFL fan visit Doc Sports regularly for a full range of draft coverage including more draft predictions, prospects, and draft odds.
Here’s a photo of one of my pink gladiolas from this past summer. It’s blossoms aren’t quite fully open in this photo.
I love the multiple shades of pink that you can see on each petal. From deep dark rose to the palest of pink. Isn’t nature amazing? You’ve got to wonder how a blossom can develop with so many shades of one color and have them blend together so perfectly.
This is why I love my garden. There’s something so simple, yet so absolutely amazing to look at each day with wonder.

This weeks Theme is Antique
I grow a number of Antique roses. Many of them date back into the early 1800’s. Their perfume is heavenly and in fact these roses are/were used to make perfume.
The rose that I chose to show you today is called Compte de Chambord. It looks like a more modern rose when it first opens, but then it divides and quarters – as shown in the last picture. That’s a classic feature of a true antique rose.
This rose puts out most of it’s scent in the early morning. My neighbors can actually smell it when they step into their yards.
Now, I haven’t been working lately because of my illness, but when I was working in the ER department I’d work a night shift each week, and in the summer time I’d often visit my garden in the early morning to wind down. I was always drawn to that rose just by it’s scent. It’s heavenly.
My good friend, Dear Mrs. Lifecruiser is going to have a big party … she’s calling it a Cyber cruise but it’s a PARTY!
She’s being mysterious and hasn’t set a date for this “Cruise” yet. I think that’s in part because she wants to get all the passengers on board first.
If you want to learn more about her wonderful cruise and all the events that will be taking place … lots of mingling and getting to know other bloggers is one of the key features of the event. Steer on over to the mother ship and get instructions.
