Tulip fields are beautiful in the Skagit Valley, Corona Virus requirements not being honored


Soon peonies will be blooming. This year I must get a coral charm peony. 
They’re absolutely beautiful they turn apricot! 
This pink one is very fragrant though. 

Blossoms
Above are photos of home below tulip fields then my neighbors beautiful trees, shrubs that I thank them for every year when the color pops in spring. 
Flower people are the best people! 
Tulips




Dried hydrangeas grow roots. 
I keep them year round 
I love watching dried flowers rooting in a jar! 
Wash the roots weekly with warm water and freshen their water. 
Further down, my dried peony petals on the bookcase. 
And cut tulips from another year. 
I didn’t get out of my car on this trip except to snap a photo of a few apple blossoms. 
No drive into Laconner either. 
It would have been tempting to eat out but I know I wouldn’t, I don’t want anyone else preparing my food during this viral challenge. 

I have to say that if you’re worried or alone or fearful for yourself, there’s always someone else in worse shape with needs not met. It’s good
To think about them and not panic. 
Military personnel, prisoners, children separated from parents, those dying alone and those caring for them. Think about others. 
I pray it all just goes away now forevermore! 


Peanut the squirrels names, all of them I call Peanut.
They find me now when I’m outside, ..Lined up behind me waiting for their peanut. 
I carry them in my pocket now that the hunter has become the hunted.

It's Pumpkin and Spider Time, Mushroom and Apple Cider Time and Time for Shakti to pay Another Visit Time


My dear friend from Italy, Shakti. 
She was here in the fall some years ago. 
We had so much fun. 
What a beautiful woman she is and such a nice photo. 
Shakti teaches meditation and non duality in Italy and other places. 
I miss you, come back!!



A Jewelers suzani. 
From the Silk Road. 


A pacific giant pumpkin. 
It didn't become giant though!




And a few shrooms in the yard. I think deer have been eating them. 

Thank you Shakti for the lovely pic
And sending you big hugs.

mac book air?


Apple Online Store


I gave them my idea for the illuminated keyboard.
Now I almost wish I had waited for this version, but it starts at about 1799.00.
.Worth every penny I'm sure.
The illuminated keyboard itself is worth a pretty price ( to me).
How many years ago did I begin bugging them about illuminated keyboards? And every store I went into.
Too bad I'm inventive but don't know how to put these deals together.
Oh well, maybe in my next life I'll pair up with a business genius.

Until then, I'm just a receiver ( another) for the great ideas floating around the universe)

One among many...

Isn't this cool tho? Looks maybe 1/4 inch thick?

also red itunes gift cards.

Everybody knows..

I love Apple..
I should go to work for them. I have ideas they haven't thought of yet, improvements they could make, and I can't say enough good about what they do already.

This is my new macbook, I bought the white one, and got mine before the new OS came out in October, so this one comes with the new OS. You get iphoto, the webs best way to organize your photos, and you can make web pages too, easily. You can share that with family, they can add photos and take photos off the site. It can be private or public.
Of course you get i tunes, but if you have a PC you can download itunes too for tunes and movies, and books. This book is complete with built in camcorder and mic, so you can call your friends and see them for free. It should be the official computer of the social world!

This computer isn't just about work, it's mostly about interaction, and entertainment, but serves business needs too.
I take it with me out of town, drop into a coffee shop, get my mail, connect with friends, have my music, photos, etc along. And at Starbucks you can download music they play at the store..I haven't done that yet. The starbucks I have been to in Edmonds is not online with wifi.

Hey, I wonder if Apple has a day of the week where they offer discounts to people over 50?
I asked yesterday at a Starbucks in a mall where Tuesday was seniors day, Starbucks doesn't, but should start, and apple really should too.

Anyway, I tell everybody about my macbook, and sooner or later, somebody I knew is gonna buy one, My Grandson is saving his money for one already. He likes garage band, and of course itunes..If all my friends had macbook, we could conference call, and three of us be on cam and mic together, or groups on together. Like I have a party each year with a few online group, and if any of them had macbook, we could watch each other open presents, etc.

I have a friend in The Netherlands and one in Italy I'm hoping to connect with, a a friend at Rutgers University I talk to sometimes. I also haver great ideas about how this could connect people in groups. Of course you can use a PC and a cam too, but apple is so user friendly, intuitive, and of course we are the intuitive age. PC's much you down with virus protection software, etc. And with a mac, you can also have a PC (with virtual PC) but no PC gives you apple.

I guess apple is making it's way into the heart of youth today, my Grandson was a PC kid, but he has been switching over to mac. His Dad, too, both musicians. The ipod has created attention, I think, for intutive products.

So, yeah, maybe I need to get a job at Apple computer.

You could say this macbook is my best friend, mostly cause it connects me easily, anywhere, wirelessly,to all my best friends.. 'Mollycoddle says', go ahead, spoil yourself, buy macbook...

Led Zepplin,others added to itunes..

Wow, Zepplin, and just in time for Christmas.. nice to have them on itunes now. Look you can get this complete Led Zeppelin remastered set is available to download for $99.99
It's a 165-track digital box set of the group's 13 legendary albums. You can't go wrong with a gift like this!
I'll be giving itunes gift cards for Christmas again, it's always a hit with my family. My kids love love shopping for music.
It's amazingly entertaining to sit down at my computer in itunes for an evening or for 5 minutes to get a new song, or a list of songs to burn on a Cd or upload to your ipod.
I do a Christmas CD every year, but haven't started it yet. It's nice to have special Christmas music in the car or especially for Christmas dinner.
My last years CD had some nice piano, and celtic music. I will add that list when I am on my desktop. I still have not synched my two computers. lol

Here is the link for the gift certificates, remember come Dec 24th, still no gift for some last minute person,, I always count on itunes! Send straight to their email address the night before Christmas:

I have Christmas cards to make, and I am planning on making a few Christmas Skirts, in red, for lounging Mrs Santa's. Worn with cozy loose fitting tan and red wool socks, ahh, put my feet up by the fire and get toasty warm while watching a movie from itunes too. I love making holidays into relaxed lazy days with family or alone by the fire..munchin' on brownies, and sippin' eggnog. Last night I watched the movie The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and got a surprise phone call, too, good news...
Here is a link to RatatouilleApple iTunes
I could just curl up with my Grandson Jeremy and watch this if I were in Austin, but since I'm not, I can send it as a gift to my daughter so she can curl up with him, and the kids at home.

This link is nice to get last years music favs..

Holiday Music Time (iTunes is Free you know)

I'm a little puzzled that so many PC'ers haven't downloaded iTunes yet..??
I was at a friends last week who didn't have iTunes or a good photo program on his computer, so I downloaded iTunes for him on his laptop, and got him the google free photo program , Picasa, and immediatly he had his photos in order, and had access to podcasts (like Coffee break Spanish, 15 minutes of Spanish (Spain style, per day) . Both are totally free, and also iTunes University, (free lectures from universities all over the country on every topic you can think of.

AND.. you can buy music for 99 cents per song. The itunes library organizes your music and you can make albums to burn, or upload on your ipod.
Seriously everyone, Itunes is a must have these days. It takes 5 minutes to download, and it's fREE.

One of my favorite gifts to give is a gift certificate to Itunes for Christmas, birthdays, my family, (Grandkids and kids, and friends) iTunes Gift card online, and it is a last minute gift that gets there just in time..online..Oh, and of course, you can get movies, too and baseball series, your favorite TV shows, etc.
It's truly amazing what they offer.
Apple iTunes


I know all my friends say I should be selling MacIntosh, yeah I love Apple Computer.

Here's a link for Christmas Music: Get started now, have one done for Christmas season, and make a special one for Christmas Dinner.

    And the transfer paper has instructions for ironing on. I use a paper bag on top of my ironing board for protection from high heat.

    click to see full size

    The official date for, Wear your Blog To Work Day is January 20th!

    I have chosen this date so as many people as possible will have time to get their blogs and shirts ready.

    It is also sometimes Inaugration Day, but it is Always, "my birthday!"

    It is my gift to you, another holiday, we can't have enough now, can we? Maybe Microsoft will add it to their list of holidays and it will spread out from there. HoHoHo ...Come on Bill, surely you have softened up about vacations in your older age!

    And if you'd like to send a tee or transfer of your blog to me, I would absolutely be honored!
    You can write for an address if you are so inclined! If you do one early, like for Crissmiss, send that too, I would love to have a copy of your crissmiss blog to wear!!!!

    We might begin a competition for most creative blog project!
    And I am sure some big companies like Apple or Adobe or Msft. would love to furnish a prize. Right?
    I hope to see them vying for this position, or better yet.."COLLABORATING!". This is art you know!
    Entry fees could be donated to help victims of natural disasters! ( Since we are having so many)

    Any other ideas? Send them here! Thank you!
