These are a few of my...

Favorite things...

Nail Polish, even if I am too active to let it try properly, even if I really am a tom boy, I love nail polish. Go here and play! Pretend for "grown ups"!
Always with a large grain of salt.

M.I.A This chic rocks! She is as close to Cibo Matto as you can get but she isn't like them at all. Who the hell knows what the lyrics are about!
Check out what Metacritic has to say about it. Her.

The Garden State (soundtrack). It has made me want The Shins Album, but I bet many people would say that.

I have been converted to listening to books at work. I LOOOOVVEE to read and nothing will take it's place in my life but staying focused at work sure is easy when I listen to books on tape. I mean CD. I mean MP3. The Big Year, I loved listening to this book, and it is a good segue (is that how you spell it?) into my next obsession.

I am waiting for the birds. Last year we put a bird house out, this year we wait for some neighbors to move in! We even went and bought two bird feeders this weekend, this is in an extended effort to reclaim our fabulous backyard and to heal from the loss of our old friend the TREE. Yesterday we got our first customers to the feeders, a Tufted Titmouse and a Black Capped Chickadee. Today they are eating foods foraged from the wild.
I love them, the yard and the whole earth.

I am also quite taken by KnitCast, I sorta wish I had the energy to podcast, I think it would be awesome to have a fiber art, beading, dyeing podcast. If anyone knows of one, please pipe up! I wanna hear about it.
For that matter if anyone listens to any podcasts you think I might like, even a little bit, please pipe up!

And... Another retreat is coming up!

I miss my chickadees. Be forewarned... they will learn to love your feeder, and begin to vocalize to you when it's empty. They are delightful creatures to have in your yard.

I've had less success in getting birds to inhabit my bird houses, so good luck with yours.

Mel - On Sunday I counted no less than four pairs of Eastern Bluebirds courting and feeding in and around my front yard and right now I am watching a black throated hummingbird work the feeder hanging on the deck outside the bedroom. In the evening you can stand with the feeder 6 inches from your nose and if you are real still, they will come and eat, eyeing you all the while with snotty little expressions.
