Popping in with a thank you to all of you for the birthday wishes! I am lucky to have such amazing friends in you.
Ah sweet evenings, & Sunday tea. We eat a mixture of things for our Sunday tea, cheeses, meats, pickles & homemade soup with bread. It is the favourite meal for the kids, because we plunk it all down on the table and everyone takes only what they like. It is a hit!
I happened upon this birdhouse while looking for something to shoot for the 365 photo project.
I wonder what these little groovy birds had for dinner tonight? A camper house like this one is sure to keep the Hep Cats outta sight, man. ;)
Okay that was corny. A song, from my parent's dating years, "their's" actually.
But, (back to the birdhouse now) I imagine a beehive sporting birdie-chick and a skinny-pants wearing young fella enjoying a meal together, on this the tenderest of winter Sunday evenings, inside that sweet little "camper des birdies".
Off to read and bathe now...just a soak in the soaker tub followed by hot tea and flannel pj's. (Ah the bonus of being married, we get to sleep in comfy jammies!) xo
Hear Hear to the comfy flannel pjs!!! lol!!!
Great photo -- a very bright and inviting abode!!
Loved The Hollies...they had some great tunes!!

I love flannel pj's, sheets, pillow cases, anything flannel. Way to go! I like that mixture of things with tea. It sounds like a winner.

Adorable birdhouse and cozy pjs are the only thing for cold winter nights! Your meal reminds me of an Arabic mezza, with a selection of things and you take only what you like. You'll see an authentic one soon! xoxox

Comfy jammies are the very best. I love the idea of Sunday evening tea, I think I will start doing that too.
A very cute bird house. I will show this to my husband, as he loves bird houses.
Did I miss you getting married? I know your were engaged, but didn't know you got married. That must have been when I lost track of you for a short time.

I love that groovy birdhouse. Did you buy it?

My daughter's best friend lives around the corner, and it is on her front yard tree. I asked her mom about them and she is looking into it for me. If I find the source, I'll share!! lol
Cute aren't they? I want one too!

I would love to know what you're reading - maybe regular updates or a list in your side-bar. I know it must be something inspiring or creative or interesting or just plain fun. xo

Macaroni and cheese.

I just finished the Lovely Bones. Sigh. Cried. It was good. An easy read too.
I am now embarking on The Help, by Kathryn Stockett.
Lined up on the nightstand in no particular order:
Twilight
New Moon
(just cause, deep inside I'm an angst-ridden teen who loves love more than anything)
Pablo Neruda Love Poems
Selected Poems by E.E.Cummings
and
A BIG BOOK of photography, MAGNUM
Um, and my Canon field guide. And a Bible.

Yes please. Homemade if you don't mind. With a big glass of milk.
;)
Posted by: Gillian daSilva | January 12, 2010 at 01:57 PM

Posted by: Gillian daSilva | January 12, 2010 at 01:58 PM
