Getting to the credit union was easy, but leaving the parking lot is a different story. See the red car in the lot below? That's you.
To get out the only exit you'll have to move the other cars out of the way. But those cars can only move straight ahead or straight back.
Think you can find your way out? Good luck!

I love the mittens you've made over the years. I too enjoy knitting but I think I've only made mittens once. I did enjoy them though. You may have motivated me to make more. I do have four little ones that could always use another pair. Do you have a favorite pattern you recommend for the older children and/or adults? I really enjoy your blog and am thrilled when I find you have a new post!!!

Too Many Mittens is one of my childhood favorites. It sits in an old magazine stand on our hearth throughout the winter months!

Thanks for showing us your mitten basket. It encourages me to go beyond my scarf knitting and get more comfortable with increasing and decreasing stitches. I love the hospitality of having extra mittens on hand to share with guests.

I love the multitude of mittens - such homey, comforting images. Once in awhile I'll think I might like to be able to knit, but quickly the thought vanishes for another 5 or 6 years :)
If my desire to have llamas ever becomes a reality, I would be delighted to share llama wool (do we call it wool?) with you.
Thank you for the pretty pictures!

I love seeing all the mittens you've knitted through the years. What special memories! I love to knit. But have only made one pair of mittens. You have inspired me to consider trying them again. I'd love it if you'd share your pattern.
Your homespun yarn is gorgeous! Nice job!
Warmly, Jennifer

Thank you Ladies, for sharing your interest in making mittens or admiring them.
I enjoyed re-reading comments you wrote on past posts and replied last Saturday. I tend to do things in batches.
The basic pattern I follow is out of the book, "Folk Mittens" by Marcia Lewandowski. I enjoy looking at all the mitten examples representing cultures from around the world. I haven't ventured beyond her basic pattern to make any of the (more involved) folk mittens but have added a snowflake, checks, stripes or cables to it.
Here is the basics without giving you an exact pattern for all sizes and yarn weights:
K1-P1 rib stitch for the cuff going round on three or four narrow DP needles. For the body knit every round but begin increasing for the thumb by "making one" K1, and M1 again. Knit next round. Repeat M1 at the thumb place, K3, M1. A triangle gusset forms as every other round increase by two at either ends of the gusset.
Join body stitches. Place thumb stitches on holder. Knit body until you reach the tip of the little finger and begin decreasing in three evenly spaced places every other row, then every row, to form a rounded top.
Pick up thumb stitches. Knit to the middle of the thumb nail and decrease as for body.
By this method either mitten can fit on either hand - (except when adding a design to one side).

Beautiful mittens. I tried to learn to knot when I was 20 and it drove me crazy. At 40 I learned and am not addicted to knitting. Plus my dyslexia and math skills are better since I learned to knit. Clarice

Thank you Karen for sharing this pattern. I think I might give them a try after I finish the socks I am working on.

I remember long midwinter walks in Maine, my nose and cheeks frozen and red but my fingers nice and toasty inside a pair of mother's mittens.
When William was experiencing his first toddles around the back yard in the snow I could not find gloves small enough to fit his hands. I made do with a pair of socks shoved over his tiny fingers but made sure to place a custom order with mom for a pair of little mittens.
The offer to teach me how to knit mittens always stood while I lived at home. Now I wish I had taken advantage of my mothers expertize. This Christmas time I struggled along with a wash cloth pattern. I think I will be requesting a lesson soon mom. :) Thanks for a childhood of warm hands!

Dear Sophia,
When Dad and I drive to Baltimore to see you next, I'll have to remember to bring a set of DP needles and some worsted. You'll pick up the thumb gusset in no time. A pair of size 2 mittens can be completed in two shakes of a lamb's tail (after it has supplied us with its soft lamb's wool).

I'm reading the Charlotte Mason Companion right now. I've read pocketful of pinecones and i just did a search about you to see if I could find any more books. and then this lovely blog came up!
I'm looking forward to reading more!

Dear Karen,
Your blog is a breath of fresh air.
I've been knitting for a couple of years now. Two sweaters complete, many unseccessful tries at socks and now you have inspired me to try mittens.
Thanks for your encouragement, it means much to me.

When your son is doubled over with stomach pain, you take him to the hospital, which is exactly what Alan Ormsby did two years ago with his then-10-year-old.
"His symptoms pointed to it being a bad case of constipation, but to be sure, we ordered an X-ray to rule out something more serious like appendicitis," he said. The scan came back clear, but the doctor insisted upon also ordering a more thorough CT scan.
Three hours and $400 later, Ormsby left the hospital with assurance that what ailed his son could be fixed with a $2.99 laxative.
"When the doctor is in there in front of your kid saying, 'We gotta do this,' it's kind of intimidating and hard to question that authority," he said.
But that's exactly what Ormsby, director of AARP Utah, is encouraging health consumers to do as part of a national Choosing Wisely campaign coming to Utah.
An initiative promoted by the American Board of Internal Medicine, the campaign seeks to raise awareness of five common procedures and tests that are unnecessary, provide little value and can pose risks to patients.
Among them are imaging tests for low back pain within the first six weeks of symptoms, antibiotics for viral head and chest colds and some CT scans.
About 50 percent of children who visit hospital emergency departments with a head injury are given a CT scan, when observing children for signs of concussion is often more effective and less expensive, says Choosing Wisely, citing the American Academy of Pediatrics.
What's more, CT scans expose children to unnecessary ionizing radiation, actually raising their lifetime risk of cancer.
HealthInsight, a nonprofit organizing the local campaign, is holding panel discussions and town halls in coming weeks.
They're encouraging health consumers to ask the following questions of their doctor before a procedure:
• Do I really need this test or procedure?
• What are the risks?
• Are there simpler, safer options?
• What happens if I don't do anything?
• How much does it cost?
Greater public awareness is only part of the solution; doctors need to take ownership of the problem, too, acknowledges Wayne Cannon, medical director of the Primary Care Clinical program at Intermountain Healthcare.
But patients are a critical piece of the equation, he explained.
"Single doctors might see two or three patients who have a bad reaction [to a certain treatment standard] and that prejudices them against it, but if you show them data on how they compare with peers, they get it," he said.
"The big thing is doctors are so pressed for time and they want to deliver patient satisfaction," Cannon said. "There's always that patient who says, 'My neighbor got this procedure' or 'My wife got an antibiotic and I need one, too.' Sometimes it's just easier for a doctor to send the patient home with an antibiotic."

4 stocks in the batter's box
Earnings announcements from these companies will give some insight into whether the quarter will turn out as badly as some expect.
Just as the Major League Baseball season has gotten underway, so too has the first-quarter corporate earnings season. A number of earnings releases are due out in the coming days, and the results are likely to play a major role in determining the next big moves of the market.
Here are four names for investors to keep an eye on heading into earnings announcements next week:
Big Blue
After the market close on Tuesday, IBM (IBM) will report the results of its first quarter. Wall Street is calling for Big Blue to report a 10% advance in per-share earnings and a 0.7% increase in revenue.
The company recently unveiled PureSystems, a line of integrated hardware and software solutions. The offerings aim to bring the benefits of cloud computing to customers without the effort and expense of designing such an environment from scratch. PureSystems was four years in the making and should prove to be a formidable competitor to existing products already on the market.
Another big name in the technology space releasing results on Tuesday is the semiconductor company Intel (INTC). Analysts are predicting that the company will report per-share earnings of 50 cents versus 56 cents in the year-ago quarter. Sales are expected to remain relatively flat. Intel shares have rallied 17.4% since the beginning of the year.
Keeping a steady pulse
Before the opening bell on Tuesday, the health care products company Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) will weigh in with the results of its first quarter. The consensus among analysts is that the company will post per-share earnings of $1.35, which equals earnings from a year earlier. Total sales are expected to tick up slightly.
The company is coming off of a fourth quarter that saw a 10.2% pop in international revenue. The quarter did suffer a $2.9 billion after-tax hit pertaining to costs that included product liability expenses and litigation settlements. Johnson & Johnson has seen its stock price decline 2.5% this year.
One other stock for traders to keep an eye on prior to Tuesday is the medical device maker Stryker (SYK). The company is expected to announce a 10% improvement in per-share earnings on a 5.2% gain in revenue when compared to the year-ago quarter. Shares of Stryker have risen 10.6% so far this year.

For those that want a glamorous look that will leave people speechless, look no further than the work of makeup artist Sarah Uslan of Luxe Beauty Team at the Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon LA. Jaws were dropping with one look at actress Rose McGowan, who stepped out recently at an event at the Chateau Marmont to celebrate actor Charlie Chaplin.
Sarah (aka the "makeup artist with the Midas touch") offers up her step-by-step process for creating Rose's stunning look here, so that you can leave onlookers at your next occassion with the same impression.
"I like to start with priming the lid," says Sarah. "I used a small amount of Laura Geller's Eye Spackle eyeshadow primer." Follow with MAC Indianwood Paint Pot, it makes the perfect lid color base to build this bronzy gold look. Swipe this with a cream shadow brush or your ring finger over the lower lid. Using a little bit of MAC Orange eye shadow on a crease brush, tap onto the outside corner of the lid and blend into the crease. To add the pop of intense gold, Make Up For Ever Metal Powder #1 in Sunflower Gold is perfect to press onto the ball of the lid.
To get that strong cat eye, Bobbi Brown's Black Ink Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner was paired with their Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush. Take care to build the line little by little. Finish with Bobbi Brown's Intensifying Long-wear Mascara for long and defined lashes.
For the Brows:
Rose loves to do her own brows using Anastasia Brow Powder Duo in Medium Brown.
"I'm obsessed with Koh Gen Doh Aqua Foundation to create beautiful glowing skin," Sarah raves. Bobbi Brown's Medium Bronzing Powder with Bobbi's Bronzer Brush will create a warm subtle contour to the skin. To achieve those pinkey cheeks, try Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Tremble.
The Lips:
Chanel Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Egerie with Bobbi Brown Bright Pink Lip Gloss will complete the look!
Obviously a bit of work involved to dazzle, but I like the balance in the final result. Though is it me, or does Rose McGowan look a bit different from how I remember her from her Charmed days? Do love her hair though.

Vivlamore filling in for D. Orlando Ledbetter.
Todd McClure returns for a 14th NFL season, all with the Falcons, after signing a one-year contract this offseason. The center, drafted in the seventh round (No. 237 overall) in 1999, says he welcomes a chance to pass on his experience with the offensive lineman the Falcons took with their first two selections this year.
After a recent Organized Team Activities workout, McClure spoke on several topics including the team's new offense, which will include a big screen game. Here are excerpts of the interview.
Q. What are your thoughts about the moves the Falcons made by drafting offensive lineman with their first two picks this year?
A. It's been like this pretty much my whole career with younger guys coming in. I've always said I'll try to teach as much as I can, pay it forward. I told these guys when they came in if they have any questions don't hesitate to ask because we are making our team better. If I can teach those guys a little thing that can help us win games, that's what I'm here for.
Q. Do you take all the criticism of the offensive line personally?
A. Not really. I've kind of dealt with that my whole career since I've been here. This group of up front has taken a lot of heat when things haven't gone good. When things do go good, you don't hear much about it. You take it in stride. Art Shell told me when I first got in the league as soon as you sign that piece of paper they are trying to find someone to replace you. It's just the reality of the NFL but if you keep going out and producing on the field the rest will take care of itself.
Q. Do you have a chip on your shoulder going into this year considering the talk?
A. We always want to go play good. We try not to listen too much to what is going on outside and what people are saying. Every time we step on the field we want to do our best. So we know those areas we have to improve for this team to be successful. Everybody wants to talk about playoffs but we've got to win game one. Once we get to that point, hopefully we'll take care of business.
Q. Can you describe the new offensive coordinator [Dirk Koetter]?
A. You can see right now we have explosive guys on the edge and the perimeter. We'd like to get them the ball. Dirk is doing some great things with the offense. Obviously we want to get better with our screen game. We haven't been too good in that area lately. We are putting a big emphasis on that and you can already see some of the things we are doing we are going to have some big plays in the screen game.
Q. Do your responsibilities change [in the new offense] in terms of play calling or verbiage?
A. You know one of the things they try to do, this staff coming in, they tried to use the same verbiage where all of us on offense didn't have to re-learn new terminologies. They just kind of adjusted their schemes and their terminologies to what we were doing so it's been an easy adjustment.
Q. With the screen game are there differences techniques?
A. We are emphasizing those things and there are different coaching points that maybe we haven't heard in the past or different ways that we are executing. Blocking schemes on our screens, I think, are going to be real beneficial for us and make us better. As offensive lineman we love to have a screen game that the [opposing] defensive line has to respect. They are not just pinning their ears back and rushing the quarterback. It's an offensive lineman's friend having a screen game going and we will get it going.
Q. How is new offensive line coach Pat Hill different than [previous coach] Paul Boudreau?
A. I don't want to get into too much comparing one guy to the other. Pat brings a lot of experience to this team. He's been a head coach for 15 years. He didn't focus on just the offensive line. He's seen the big picture of offenses and he can bring that to the table for us. And there are some little technique adjustments that he is going to try to help us out with that I think will put us over the edge.
Q. Did you ever consider not coming back for another season?
A. There was never a doubt this year. I wanted to come back. I'm still having fun playing. If I wasn't having fun, I wouldn't be playing. I still feel good. I'm just glad to be back. … I played 14 years. My body doesn't feel the same as it did when I first started playing football when I was 10 years old. I'm still moving around well.

No disrespect to Mud Duck, I appreciate all that he has done in an Atlanta Falcons jersey over the last 14 years however I hope we can put a better product on the field at the center position. Either Hawley is ready to take over at this point or he is a career backup. Konz is listed as a guard so I assume he will compete for the RG spot. Going forward I believe Konz will remain at RG IF Hawley can step up and secure the center spot. At 35 years old, this will more than likely be Mud Duck's final year and we need to see Hawley man up and take the spot now and let McClure be the backup for his final year.

McClure is awesome! Our OL is going to shine this year.

6:42 am
Chub Rock…..that nails it. I can also see that as a strong plan for now and the future. We may also see more out of our reserve linemen now that a viable screen game has been included. It may now show why they were drafted/signed in the first place. I have faith in our line. Maybe more than most fans.
June 11th, 2012

@Chub Rock
I don't see Hawley being a better option than Konz at the Center slot. Hey may have more experience, but I don't believe he is more talented. By the middle of the season I can imagine that the torch will be passed from Big Todd to Konz. He has done so much for the team in all those years.
D.O.L. – Do you see Todd getting retired into the Falcons Ring of Honor?
June 11th, 2012
7:54 am
They didnt draft Konz to play center. Hawley should do fine. I like McClure and remember him from teams I LOVED but Father Time waits for no man. I think this is likely the last year. His veteran leadership is why he's still here. Wish him the best but I'm honestly ready to see someone new snapping the ball.

I love McClure at the center position . He is what is needed in this transition year. I too think this is his last year as a starter. Could be backup next year to Hawley. Konz is going to play RG unless someone stands up and pushes him to Center. Otherwise, Hawley is the center of the future.
June 11th, 2012
9:26 am
The best scenario is for Johnson to come out mean and claim the RG spot and Konz to win the Center spot. That would give fresh new beef up front for those 4th and inches situations and pass rush up the middle.
June 11th, 2012
9:28 am
The ideal scenario is that McClure becomes to the offensive line what Mike Peterson was for the linebackers last season… An insurance policy. Plus McClure could probably appreciate the rest his body will get as a back-up.
That said, I am not sold on Hawley as the starter at center, even though TD and Smitty are. My opinion means nothing, but I encourage everyone to go back and watch the games Hawley started in place of McClure last season. It was ugly. Part of that could be due to Garrett Reynolds stinking it up at RG. But Hawley seemed lost on a bunch of plays, and I am not sure he was good at making the line calls. Perhaps playing guard for half the season last year did him well in seeing/hearing next to McClure.

Boudreau was supposed to be an O-line Guru. How is this seasoned vet just now learning techniques that will make the screen pass effective? I guess we will see this year if it was really Mularkey and Boudreau's lack of coaching for our horrible screenpass play.
June 11th, 2012

BTW, Good stuff Vivlamore.
June 11th, 2012
9:56 am
yeasure………our horrible screenpass plays were horible because we didn't have any! The new coaches are teaching new techniques that heretofor was not part of the play book. If you don't teach the screenpass for a few years, you need a refresher.

June 11th, 2012

There is little doubt in my mind that Konz would be a better option at Center than Hawley.
That being said, you have to look at the whole, not just an individual piece. Konz is a better RG (theoretically) than Hawley. So say, for example, that Konz is ranked at a 9 playing Center, and an 8 playing RG, where as Hawley is a 8 Center, but a 5 RG, then you play them where the collective score is higher (8+8 = 16, where as 9+5 = 14).
June 11th, 2012
10:23 am
Our defense got torched all the time by screen plays; one of its biggest weaknesses. WHY? Because they never saw any daily in practice. Maybe screens will help both sides of the ball.
June 11th, 2012
10:31 am
Mularkey used to say that we didnt have the personnel to run them. I say we run em during our Falcons/Jags practice (hopefully still on) this year and show him this lines potential.

I don't get why everyone is so sure that anyone is going to be a better option this year than McClure. He never got the job because he's a pretty face. He's always done the job on the field. If someone beats out, fine. To just assume that someone is better choice because this is MClure's last year is silly. I don't care if it's a player's first season or last season, I want the that gives us the best chance to win on the field. Since it's probably his last year, I want Hawley and Konz to get as many reps as possible, but if McClure gives us teh best chance to win now, I want McClure to get most of the reps.
June 11th, 2012

June 11th, 2012
5:12 pm
Falcons OL was pretty bad last year, of which McClure was part of. Pretty sure McClure's best days are behind him. I respect his work here, he's had a remarkable career, but Falcons drafted Konz to begin the process of rebuilding our offensive line. He's not the only answer, but hopefully he is going to be a huge part of it.
June 11th, 2012
5:32 pm
Thank you Todd! Here's to another great year for you at center!
June 11th, 2012
5:50 pm
The other name to throw in the mix… Vince Manuwai at right guard. If he shows he's back to form, he might be our best bet at RG this season. That would allow the team to work in Konz at center, giving the Falcons a whole lot of beef up front.
June 11th, 2012
5:52 pm
Geriatric McClure will be the starter this year, not because he has enduring talent, but because the falcan'ts failed to find a somebody, anybody, duirng the off season, with a semblence of talent to replace the weak link.
June 11th, 2012
5:54 pm
Too many draft picks and a FA or 2 since 2010 to not have a good OL by now. That, along with resigning Clabo & Blalock. I've also heard of some of these guys playing at a position with much less experience than their college position (Garrett Reynolds). Two positions OK if it doesn't hurt the progress of learning just one but some can't do two.
We can be assured of having a little better OL due to having screens. Those and draws have always helped slow the pass rush down some.

MJC- For some reason the Atlanta Falcons have chosen to list Konz as a guard on their website. I tend to think that is for a reason. Dimitroff and Smitty both have already said they view Konz as a guard first and center second. Is Konz a better center than Hawley at this point? Maybe. Is Konz the best option at guard at this point? Probably. I just don't know what happened to Mike Johnson. The kid was an All-American at Bama and has not shown anything in the NFL. The Falcons draft Konz and list him as a guard and sign Manuwai which means Johnson could be looking for work elsewhere if he can't beat out Manuwai and Reynolds.
Only 9 guys get to make the 53 on the O-line, that is the number Smitty quoted in an interview. Who would you guys pick as the 9 O-linemen to make the 53 man roster? D feel free.

June 11th, 2012
6:57 pm
torgo- I wonder just how much Manuwai has left. They signed him at veteran minimum with no incentives. Can't see Manuwai being very helpful on the screen plays but might be solid backup.

Guys, the reason that Konz was drafted was because MCclure is going to retire after this year and Hawley has shown that he is not the answer at center. If Hawley was ready he will supplant MCclure this year. That remains to be seen

LEWISBURG, Pa. – The National Science Foundation recently funded two proposals by Bucknell professors related to the study of soil-bentonite cutoff walls, commonly used as barriers against groundwater pollutants.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) grants total more than $230,000, with one being for a remote-control drill rig and accessories worth nearly $134,000. The proposals were submitted by Jeffrey Evans, professor of civil and environmental engineering, and Michael Malusis, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering.
The drill rig, which should arrive in November, is the second Major Research Instrumentation grant obtained by the University this year, the first being an atomic force microscope acquired by the chemistry department.
Invaluable for research
"Usually, these drills are owned by commercial drilling companies, but this will be invaluable for the research we're conducting," Evans said.
The cutoff wall grant is in conjunction with Louisiana State University professor Radhey Sharma, who, at one time, was a visiting professor at Bucknell.
Including graduate and undergraduate students, the team will study how cyclical wetting and drying from a fluctuating water table affects a wall's hydraulic conductivity, and, therefore, its ability to contain pollutants. There is limited research suggesting that this property may degrade over time due to wet-dry cycles.
Ground water contamination
"With the increasing reliance on these types of barriers to contain pollutants and prevent ground water contamination, it is important to examine their long-term performance," Malusis said.
The partnership with LSU, a Research I institution, allows both schools to accomplish a larger body of work, while encouraging students to engage in high-level research and to consider pursuing advanced degrees.
In addition to being used in the soil-bentonite cutoff wall research, the new drill rig will be available for undergraduate research, and the professors have arranged to hold field demonstrations for local high school students.

Animal or human bite wounds need thorough cleaning to reduce the risk of infection and scarring and to promote healing. Try to stop the bleeding before cleaning the wound. Mild to moderate bleeding during the cleaning usually occurs. After cleaning, stop the bleeding by reapplying direct pressure and by elevating the wound. If the bleeding continues, see how to stop bleeding.
A visit to a health professional is needed if you are unable to clean the wound adequately because it:

The birth of Christ, once for always…again and again, is mystery. God with us, as promise and a presence, is mystery. The late Robert McAffee Brown said, "The starting point for the religious quest is always a confrontation with mystery."
We have entered into Advent, the four weeks of preparation, getting ready for Christmas. How do we wait for…mystery?
Waiting is an essential part of our existence. When I was a small child, I couldn't wait to be a teenager. When I was a teenager, I couldn't wait to drive. When I learned to drive, I couldn't wait to go to college. When I went to college, I couldn't wait to graduate and be all grown up. And now… well, let's just say I'm not in a rush to get older. At every stage within our lives, there is some new form of waiting we take on.
We begin our waiting with wonder; wonder at the beauty and dazzling diversity of creation; wonder at the mystery and majesty of birth and death, and all the ordinary and extraordinary in between; wonder at devastation and at soul-depth cries for deliverance; and wonder at human cruelty and at the tenacity of the joy.
We wonder at the curious courses and sudden turns of our own lives, at our desperate longing for love and our fear of risking and receiving it. We wonder how it is God so loves us. And we wonder that somehow our stories are connected to each other and this moment in history and are part of God's greater story of the universe. We wonder at what we see and what God is yearning for us to see; at who we are and how God is being born in us, among us, through us and throughout this world.
As Christmas approaches, we dare to pause. To wonder. We dare to expect the mysterious and miraculous birth of God.
The Prophet Jeremiah says, "The days are surely coming when I will fulfill the promises made…" (Jeremiah 33:14) The Evangelist Luke says, "There will be signs in the sun, the moon and the stars…People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is coming upon the world." (Luke 21:24-26)
We are called to stand and to raise our heads when we see sings of prophecy and promise, for our redemption is near. We are called to consider wonder around us and to wonder at the nearness of God.
Do we see what God yearns for us to see? I wonder.

Our Afghan Ally: "Try doing that day in, day out," said Major Steuber, "working with child molesters"
"But there are issues Major Steuber said need to be tackled head on - including the sexual abuse of young boys by local police commanders. On every police base I visited in Sangin, there were young boys, some were armed and some looked like servants. They are known as "chai boys".
The problem is widespread. While I was in Sangin, four boys were shot while trying to escape police commanders, three of them fatally. None of the commanders responsible were arrested.
"Try doing that day in, day out," said Major Steuber, "working with child molesters, working with people who are robbing people, murdering them. It wears on you after a while."

Look! First Peonies Of The Season
Stopping by Trader Joe's the other day we spotted the season's first Peonies. We grabbed up a bunch (at $6.99 it was a great price) and waited for them to open. Now a couple of days later just 2 of the 5 stems have exploded open and we can't wait to watch their transformation:
Peonies, our very favorite flowers, have a life of their own, a lot like tulips do (or second favorite flower). Peonies go from tight balls to wide open fluttery poofs and their color fades as they bloom as well so the bouquet you start with is completely different from the one you end up with. Plus, for us, peonies mean the beginning of summer, remind us of trips to the East Coast and make the table look like a still life with their painterly blooms.
So here's to Peonies:

My favorite flower!
Gorgeous! I love peonies. My mom planted them along her house when we lived in Iowa.
Come to think of it, that might have been the only thing I liked about Iowa...
Oh, jealousy. I've talked myself out of buying a bunch- I can't find them for less than $16 in Seattle!
Very few things make me happier than peonies. I used them in my wedding bouquet, because my grandmother had done the same in the 1920s and I loved how decadent they looked in the pictures. They should be the official flower of June! (They seem early this year.)
I love Peonies...
...that color is great.
Bliss! Peonies are truly divine. They don't seem as popular here in Australia as they could be. Perhaps I'll do something to rectify that situation. Enjoy!
Love them! Ranunculus too!
I bought some for a friend who lost her father but wow I paid a lot I think they were 5.50 a stem for a dozen. I wish we could grow them in California.
i have a peony bush in my garden and i'm looking forward to finding out what colour it is (i only moved here last September). if only the blooms wouldn't get so ant-infested and i could bring them inside...
Oh, I saw them at all the flower stands on my way to work today! Love, love, love. I desperately want them for my wedding flowers but we are going the destination route so I think I'm out of luck. =( I'll just have to enjoy them at home instead!
Love, love, love peonies!
That photo reminds me on "Alice in Wonderland" where the flowers sing, I know there wasn't a peony in that scene but it looks like it's leaning over to say something. See what spring fever does to me :)
I got some beauties at Whole Foods yesterday (although for $11.99; should have gone to TJ's) and I'm completely in love with them. I typically like more modern-looking flowers, but peonies are just so gorgeous, they're irrestible.
the first of the season is now blooming in my garden... gorgeous
Peonies how I love thee!!
rouquinne - I believe if you cut them and then dunk them in water, the ants will jump ship. But it needs to be a big container, like an old 5 gallon paint container, with lots of water.
My favorite flower!

GOLDENDALE, Wash. -- Department of Natural Resources officials say nine homes and 10 outbuildings have burned by a wildfire burning near Satus Pass in south central Washington.
Interagency management team spokesman Dale Warriner says there are no reports of injuries.
The state Department of Natural Resources says 300 people have been evacuated as the blaze burning along Highway 97 has charred more than 2,000 acres.
The fire started Wednesday off of Highway 97 between Goldendale and Toppenish. Mandatory evacuation began overnight for dozens of homes as the blaze grew.
The state took over management of the fire Thursday and ordered 65 engines and water tenders to the scene. Fire managers are operating from the county fairgrounds in Goldendale, where an evcuation center has also been set up.
Slideshow: Monastery Complex Fire
A group of nuns from St. Johns Greek Monastery, located about 10 miles outside Goldendale, have been doing their best to protect their home and place of worship.
The women were seen in their full habits, hauling garden hoses and water buckets across Highway 97 to help put out the fire.
At least 200 firefighters were working on putting out the blaze. Weather conditions make it difficult with another hot windy day in the forecast.
Brooks Memorial State Park is closed and traffic is disrupted on Highway 97 between Toppenish and Goldendale.
Another wildfire in Washington has burned about 400 acres in a remote part of the Brothers Wilderness on the Olympic Peninsula.

Hi guys !
Im kinda new here, so i was thinking of writing a Twilight & Percy Jackson crossover. I f u people think this is a gud idea, i won't mind starting it.
Views: 101
Chapter 1
Date Night
I was practically running out of school and jumped into Edward's waiting arms. I myself didn't know why I was jumping for joy. I was looking forward to the date Edward had planned for me with Jasper's assistance. The boys had planned something for me and Alice but wouldn't tell us. Even Alice's future seeing ability didn't work out.
" Well, someone's excited today," Edward said kissing my forehead.
" And you don't know the reason is it," I asked my eyebrows raised.
" Its good to know that you enjoy surprises once in awhile," he said.
Just then Jasper walked up to Edward with Alice jumping around him and babbling about dressing up. We both burst out laughing, Jasper tried hard not to laugh but failed miserably.
" Bella, you are coming to my house this evening so I can dress you up," Alice said sternly. I couldn't refuse her even if I wanted, but today I didn't mind dressing up. Maybe it was just my imagination but I felt like something important was going to happen today.
" Earth to Bella, " Alice said. " Sorry, I was daydreaming, " I replied a little sheepishly. Alice turned to Edward and Jasper. She said, " You both are taking the Volvo and going home. I have to pick Bella's outfit at her house."
My face must have fallen because Alice said with an exasperated look, " You'll see him in a bit ." Edward came towards me and pecked me on the lips gently, whispering, "See you in awhile ." I waved goodbye as I watched Edward and Jasper get inside the car and speed down the highway. Alice grabbed my hand pulling me towards the back entrance of the school and we both took of running from there.
We reached my house in matter of minutes and didn't bother walking through the front door. Charlie knew what I was and wasn't in the least bit frightened. He had only wanted me to stay with me.
We scaled the wall and got in through my room window. Alice and I immediately went to my closet which was brimming with clothes ( courtesy of Alice ) to the point where there was no room for more clothes. After 15 minutes of searching I pulled out a cute dress which I knew would make me look good. I t was a dress ending just above my knee. The top half was covered in black while the bottom was the color of beige and light grey with a black bow near the bust. I pulled it out and showed it to Alice.
" Its beautiful. My fashion sense is finally rubbing of on you," she squealed. I was really surprised. I hadn't expected her to approve of it.
" Come on, I have the accessories and shoes at my house and please shield my mind. I don't want Edward seeing the dress," she said.
" Alice, don't you think you're going a little overboard with...... ," I never got to finish my sentence. The look on Alice's face told me otherwise. For a small person she could be extremely frightening.
" Don't even think about it," she glared at me. I did as she asked me to and we jumped from my window and ran to her house. When I walked through the living room I saw Jasper and Edward playing a game of chess, Esme was upstairs going through blue prints and Carlisle was in his study.
I was just about to ask where Rosalie and Emmett were, when Alice replied hunting.
very good start...write more soon please
"Freaking psychic pixie," I thought in my mind. I was about to make my way to Edward when Alice pulled me back saying, "You'll have plenty of time for that later."
" But Alice," I whined. " No buts. You're coming with me," she said grabbing my arm and pulling me upstairs. We both entered her huge bathroom. She immediately pulled me to the chair, but this time I was quick.
" Alice, please can I give myself a makeover ?" I didn't want Alice to make me pretty, I wanted to do it myself. I didn't know why, but I just blurted the question out. I must have been surprised myself because Alice's expression was concerned.
" Bella, did you hit your head or are you feeling ill ?" she asked. " I know you're surprised, but please. You can give me tips here and there," I said.
" Fine," she pursed her lips and said. So saying this I went to sit and started applying make-up for the first time by myself. I didn't apply a lot to my already pale skin, just mascara, a little blush and lip gloss. Alice did her make-up while I did mine.
After I was done, I slipped on my dress. It looked extremely good on me. Alice's dress was the color of cobalt blue with a thin silver clasp around the waist. It had a V-neck and ended at her knee. She looked as usual, pretty in it. Then I put on the accessories, a pair of dangling ear rings and a few bangles in my left hand. Alice's ensemble was silver. She had diamond studs, a snowflake shaped chain, a diamond bracelet and to top it off grey and silver pumps. I never did like heels so I settled for a black with bronze beaded ballet flats.
Then I turned to my hair. I brushed it and curled the ends. I took one side and clipped it with a black clip. Alice left her hair in its usual spiky hairdo.
When the both us were done we turned towards the mirror. Alice squealed that I had finally learnt to dress up. I was slightly embarrassed, but I did felt good deep inside.
"If you could just wear heels........ ," she started, but I cut her off. " Alice I'm making an effort to dress up, please don't ruin it, " I pleaded with her. She pursed her lips but said nothing.
Just then we heard the boys making their way upstairs so we both grabbed our purses and opened the door. Jasper and Edward had their mouths open wide which made the both of us giggle hysterically. Both of them were dressed casually but they looked dashing in it.
Esme came downstairs and saw the boy's expressions and joined in our laughter.
" Boys, please close your mouths. You're going to catch flies," she said. They came out of their reverie and offered their arms to the both of us. We once again giggled and took their hands and walked downstairs.
" You look alluring, Bella," Edward whispered in my ear too soft for the others to hear but enough to make my heart melt like chocolate.
" You don't look half bad yourself," I replied back. He grinned and suddenly he was behind me putting a blindfold on my eyes. I heard Jasper doing the same to Alice.
" Hey, isn't it enough that this is a surprise already ?" I asked, my voice some what grumbling towards the end.
" Sorry Bella. It has to be a total surprise," he replied. His voice was full of mirth. Edward pulled my hand and lead me towards his car. He put me in the passenger seat while he went to the driver's side.
Jazz and Alice slid into the back seat. And then we were speeding towards the place where Edward and Jazz had planned for me and Alice. The ride was filled with non-nonsensical talk. And then it was over as soon as it had started.
Girl's Outfits
Sounds fun! I would like to read more!
Sounds like it would be a cool story!! Hope you write more! :)
really good update, please post more again soon, can't wait to see where they are taking the girls!
grrrrr *angry face* write more
Chapter 2
Meeting Family
I didn't know why Jasper and Edward were bothering with the theatrics. The minute we got out of the car they had me and Alice in their arms carrying us to who knows where bridal style. We walked in a a direction where there was nothing but trees, but after 15 minutes our surroundings started to change, I could hear humans.
Then suddenly we were put down and Edward and Jasper blindfolded us again.
"Edward, when are you going to take this cloth out of my eyes?" I grumbled. He laughed good naturally. I was really starting to get irritated when suddenly the blindfold was out of my eyes.
I gasped the moment my eyes took in everything. Even with perfect clarity, I had trouble looking everywhere.I could see Alice's reaction was the same as mine.
The place was just like Edward's meadow and yet not the same. It was a clearing in the middle filled with wild flowers of a variety of colors surrounded by trees, in which thousands of fairy lights hung giving the place a magical feeling. But that wasn't the only part, there was a lake a little ways to the right. The place was filled with people and when I say people I mean couples. All of them were talking or just cuddling, enjoying their time with their girlfriends or wives. Some of them had picnic baskets with them.
Edward took my hand and led me forward. Only then did i realize my mouth was open and I closed it quickly. Alice and Jazz must have gone off because I couldn't see them next to us.
"Do you like it?" Edward whispered in my ear.
"Its so beautiful and pretty",I whispered back still not able to tear my eyes away from the place. Edward took my hand and led me to secluded corner of the clearing, near the water. I never understood, but when I was in water or anywhere near it I felt absolutely calm. I took my shoes off and put my feet in the water, leaning my head on Edward's shoulder. I instantly felt energy surge through my body.
We continued to talk about random stuff and joked quite a lot until I started to feel that something was going to happen. I knew I was right when a couple walked up to us. They both looked human but there was something about the man that gave me a warm feeling inside. Edward must have felt me tense up because he asked me what was wrong.
"Is something wrong Bella?". I didn't know to explain it but nevertheless told him. He didn't know what to make of it and was about to answer when the couple reached us. The woman had brown straight hair that looked disturbingly like mine. Her facial features resembled mine too, but when I looked at the man beside her, my breath caught in my throat.
Edward must have found the same thing as me because his face was stunned. The man was easily handsome for a human. He had jet black hair and a black beard. He was wearing a sea green shirt and trousers and his eyes, my eyes , they were a sea green color just like mine. When I was turned into a vampire my eyes hadn't changed color. I had the same speed, strength and reflexes of vampires but my eyes were different. They weren't topaz or ruby red. They were the same eye color I had when I was a human.
Nobody had a reason for it so we had just dropped the subject. But now looking at the man I couldn't help feeling that he knew the answers to my life. And I mean my whole life.I had had the most bizarre childhood experience. Sorry I can't share them with you, its quite a long story.
The man emanated power like nothing I had seen before and he had smile wrinkles around his eyes which told me he smiled a lot.
Sorry for leaving you in a cliff hanger. But isn't it supposed to be like this ?
Who is that man?
Who is that woman?
How are they related to Bella ?
Interesting! Seems like Edward was also surprised!
very interesting...i wonder what the man has to say to Bella and Edward!
So here are the pics for the characters
Bella ( I cudn't get her real pic !!! she didnt look gud with green eyes )
This is my version of her
Poseidon ( This isn't the best, but its all ive got........ I'd appreciate some suggestions )

The artful draping of the double layered top creates a loose silhouette whilst the sheer insets with structured, colour-block panels exude a contemporary and on-trend aesthetic. In a knee length and a sleeveless design, this women's dress will look perfect teamed with a statement blazer and strappy stilettos for super sleek impact.
