Wasting time...

This quote suits me perfectly!  According to John Lennon, I never waste time, never!  I'm dying for a swimming pool!  I've been trying to talk Wayne into it...fingers crossed.  It's just so good for me, swimming and all.  Floating around with my wine, swimming with Ozzy, getting much needed exercise, all of those things.  I've even picked out the perfect spot for it and offered to pay for 1/2!  Although, if I do get a pool, just think of how much more time I'll be "wasting".  Hee hee ~ I would certainly enjoy it.  And speaking of wasting time, I had a high school friend come visit us over the weekend and we had a blast...he's way into his camera, just like me.  Of course, the funniest thing about our hikes was the "planking craze" ~ here's Greg "planking" on top of Black Balsam Knob:

and then there's also "Owling", of which I've just recently heard of:

But Wayne would have NO part of either.  He said once you turn 60, you don't plank, or Owl anymore ~ lol.  This is the closest I could get him to do either:

And just when you thought I had been wasting all of my time, I've been making some new things and they are listed in the shop.  My favorites of late are these:

I'm in love with those little gunmetal birds ~ they are adorable!  And the patina Olive branches are gorgeous...of course, I had to name them "Peace" ~ nothing else would fit.  They are for sale in the shop, if you want to see more.  And today I got in a whole box of feathers that I'll be making things with.  So check the shop often for new things, Autumn is upon us, as is my busiest time of the year!  Enjoy the dog days of Summer!!

And I just had to share this little guy before I signed off.  He was so cute!  He was way up at the top of Black Balsam...enjoying the view like us :)

Have a great weekend everybody!!  xo ~ Kathy
