After a crazy work week it’s always nice to take a breather. My Mom told me about this video she saw on the news about a moose taking time to stop and play the wind chimes in Alaska.
A very talented and gentle moose she seems to be, enjoying the lilting sound of the chimes. Maybe the moose knows how to relax better than us human types.
Have a great weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

So I stayed up late Monday night watching the Trail Blazer game against the Golden State Warriors. Nuf said. Still bummed out. But our Rip City team fought hard and we’ve got some classy players. So in the interest of cheering myself up, I stumbled upon this on YouTube and decided to share.
More photos and tales next Tuesday. In the meantime, Go Blazers on Wednesday night!

The sun is out, it’s almost June and dreams of surfing pigs fill our dreams. Say what? Found this talented porker named Kama hanging 10 on Oahu. Here comes summer!
Have a great weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

Last Friday I had lunch with one of my favorite people, author/editor/buddy www.cindyhiday.com and we met at my favorite Café in the antique shop. This place is my home away from home and I always find treasures and creative ideas which reboot my crafty creative cup. And I get to eat goodies!
Prowling the aisles I came across this amazing Tin Man some talented person made out of cans. Isn’t he adorable? Someone really made this work. Complete with his heart. I had to take his picture. He was on sale, but since I own my very own ruby red slippers, I figured someone else would come along who needed the Tin Man.
That is the fun part of the creative process, you never know where ideas will come from. Who sat around and saw a soup can and thought, “That’s the Tin Man!” Then acted on it and actually built him? Even more fun to ponder is the author who created the Tin Man out of thin air! Imagination rocks.
When you’re going about your week and happen upon some interesting items, give a thought to other ways they might be used. Exercise your imagination. Who knows, you might come up with a Tin Man too!

Yes, I was. Spent one and half hours on Friday trying to find a video I liked and gave up. Saturday I played couch potato. So on behalf of those of us who need to slow down and nap at times, I give you this fabulous clouded leopard cub who is a pro snoozer. Look as those paws!
Got a busy week ahead? Remember this cutie cub. Hope you had a great weekend!

My roses are blooming in April. Sweet sea biscuits! While we had hail, rain, sun and thunder over the weekend, I went on a quest last Friday to find the perfect large ceramic teal garden pot for the fairy rock garden. So far I feel like Goldilocks; close but not quite.
Then I got sidetracked by the plants and flowers. Luckily I had an appointment or I could have wandered for hours.
Then I found this fabulous pink azalea in full bloom. Yummy!
Then a foxglove caught my eye and I had to take a very up close and personal picture.
And then I came across this fabulous selection of water fountains I love but are way out of my price range. But maybe if I save my pennies over the winter…. What was I shopping for anyway?
Taken a ramble in the garden center recently? Maybe I need to use spray paint on the current big pot. Another quest begins!
Got garden style?
