mysteriously mostly blue

When Sinda & fam. came to visit, they brought gifts. Wonderful gifts! Like a magnetic Leslie Cochran dress-up doll. Check it out! Leslie has a Wikipedia page. Also, this water bottle which I adore and carry everywhere I go.


Sugarbear received this wonderfully menacing little poky pet which stands about 2 1/2 inches high.



Junebug's gift is a sky-blue shiny glass gnome who now abides in our fairy garden. He holds his arms rather stiffly and awkwardly at his sides, which has earned him the moniker "John McCain". Mr. Man chastised me for the comparison, pointing out the horrifying reason for McCain's posture. However chagrined I may be, I find that it is too late to change his name now. We all know and love him as John McCain and so may it be forever. I just love the idea of John McCain as a smiling blue metallic gnome who lives in our backyard. The best part is how awfully happy he looks among the flowers.
