i'm floating in a black balloon.....

yesterday the weather was strange. dark gray skies, then the sun would burst out for moments, then disappear again behind the clouds. i love this weather.

i cleaned and cooked up a storm before the groundcat-in-laws came out for dinner

new recipe (turkey with fresh herbs) & the aftermath

there's a sis & aunt back in the nook too. i love seeing how many people we can fit in that old nook!

bed head & photoshop fun, i love this tree in front of the house

i'm getting a little antsy being home all day. running out of stuff to clean, although i have tons to do before the reception. i tell ya, if i ever end up without a job, i think this is how it would turn out.

we went to the library over the weekend and i got elliot smith's "new moon" double disc collection. it's beautiful, and yes, a little depressing. people tend to knock his music as being too down, pointing out the he committed suicide. i just think his legacy is much more then that. the songs are so intricate & luminous. yes, the lyrics are generally sad bastard, but the melodies below are stunning. i remember hearing "miss misery" at the end of "goodwill hunting" and getting chills. just lovely... ok, maybe this song is a little depressing...

this makes me giggle:
