LIFE CONTINUES...

 

...with some weekend left! It's been a relaxing weekend what with some busy weeks with the new showroom. Spring was on the way but then got derailed back with some cooler weather again...not to mention our family friend Garnet had a surprise birthday lunch and desserts for the Mother, who celebrated around trip around the globe. And she hates surprises.  The day started with me taking her for breakfast. Needless to say, I'm guessing she slept good last night after her libations all day. The garden crocus exploded but will last for how long is anyone's guess with the cooler weather is again. It's always the first sign of spring in my book. I did however get outside today for a nice little cleanup of leaves and felled branches...and see a few signs of spring. And some of the usual suspects.

The birthday location of the Mothers childhood friend. 
They have known each other since 4 grade!
 
At the Casa....I loved the sun beam illuminating these vases and vessels yesterday in the afternoon.

Now, is it happy hour yet?

HARBINGER OF BAD LUCK?

Friday the 13th has been widely regarded in Western culture as an exceptionally unlucky day, blending the superstition surrounding the number 13, with long standing belief that Friday is a day of bad fortune. How can that be when the weekend is upon us??? It's a double whammy of superstitious fear which has been amplified by historical events, and popular horror films, and even the Thirteen Club, going all the way back to biblical tradition, 13 guest attended the Last Supper, one of whom betrayed Jesus, giving longstanding superstition that having 13 guests at a table was a bad omen. Specifically courting death. Though some suggested they have roots in Christian tradition...Jesus was crucified on a Friday, Eve gave Adam the fateful apple from the Tree of Knowledge on a Friday, as well as the day Cain killed his brother Abel, if you believe the Book. Call me a witch then, but Friday's have always been my favorite day of the week, and Friday the 13th's have always been extra good days for me!!! Just as I adore Black Cats!

Happy Friday the 13th kids!
