good morning

Today I took my camera for a walk.   

Here are some of the flowers we were lucky enough to stumble across...

ah-ha

I figured out how to use the label function on this blog.  What fun!

I went through all of my posts and every time I saw a picture of Calvin and Chloe, I labeled the post "cat".  So now when you click on the word "cat" you can see all of my kitty pictures in one big group.

You can also view "word of the week", "outfit of the week", "colorscope" and "favorite books" as entire collections.

I've decided to label this post with the word "organize" because it is something I love to do!  And I discovered I have more than one post that links to organization!

This is a picture of my front door.

I would like to paint my front door a shade of blue but it has been really difficult to choose the exact right color.  Who knew there were so many blues!  Here are a few of my top contenders.

OLD NAVY

JAMESTOWN BLUE

PHILIPSBURG BLUE

GENTLEMAN'S GRAY

This is the color gray of our house...

OZARK SHADOWS

I'd love your help!  Please tell me which shade of blue you like best:

A) OLD NAVY

B) JAMESTOWN BLUE

C) PHILIPSBURG BLUE

D) GENTLEMAN'S GRAY

E) NONE OF THE ABOVE

design your own converse

This is my very favorite pair of sneakers:

hightop Converse All-Stars in black.

Yesterday, I was talking to a couple of 10 year old girls (I was wearing my hightop Converse All-Stars in black) and the girls asked me if I had ever heard of "Design Your Own Converse".  I had no idea there was such a thing!  I went to the website and discovered I could make Converse with leopard print, purple laces, off white soles, yellow lining and a red racing stripe.  Even though I will probably stick with my basic black, it was really fun to play around on the site.

WORD OF THE WEEK

Our WORD OF THE WEEK

that I picked from the fishbowl on my desk

is...

salutation

bonus question: Can you name the author who makes excellent use of the word "salutation" in his novel about a spider and a pig?
