Just couldn’t come up with anything for this week. Not even a placeholder story. So I give you this little poem I just now made up. Hope to do better next week…
In a slump
My mind’s a dump
I’m just glad
I don’t have mumps.
(I’ll see myself out the door…)
Back in March I wrote about my daydream garden and some of the things I’d like in it. There were several things I forgot about that have to be in my garden. Here they are.
Wind Chimes
There are SO MANY kinds out there. I’d have all sorts of different ones. Some would chime or tinkle in the wind, some would just be pretty little hanging pieces of art.
Repurposed Bird Bath
Because I am a responsible cat mom, I would not deliberately entice birds to visit too near. I’d like 3 or four different bird baths and turn them into fairy gardens or Zen gardens. I LOVE Zen gardens. They would also have to be up on pedestals. Because, again, cats…I’m sure a sand-filled Zen garden would make an awesome litter box for any spiritual cat… The Spock figurine is rather big for the kind of Zen garden I have in mind, so he’d just have to hang out amongst the flowers.
Speaking of flowers, I would love to have lots of many different ones, but the ones I would insist on are:
Narcissus
Coleus
Wisteria
Dianthus
Hydrangeas
Gardenias
Violets
And I’m ashamed that I didn’t mention this in the last post, but…CATS!! Figures, statues, etc. ALL OVER THE PLACE! All different kinds. So many cats. So many.
Pencil Sharpener
This was in EVERY classroom!! All through elementary school and junior high. I don’t remember if it was in the classrooms of high school. We had one of these at home, but I don’t remember it ever being actually fixed to a wall. I wish I still had it.
Key Case
Made of the finest plastic! We had a couple of these with the keys for the cars and a house key. They were kept on the shelf of the bookcase by the front door. They were always returned to the same place when whoever drove got back in the house.
Table Jukebox
I thought these were SO COOL in the restaurants. I don’t remember at all which restaurant(s) that we went to when I was little, but I loved flipping through all the titles. I don’t remember my parents ever actually putting money in one and playing a song. I’d LOVE to have one of these now.
Kitchen Linoleum
Ours was a different pattern, but the EXACT SAME COLORS. I thought it was very groovy to have a kitchen floor like this…
Old Spice Aftershave
This was my grandpa’s brand. Always. I have very fond memories of this scent.
Moo Box
I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!! I thought it was magic! Loved playing with this. It eventually got so old the works fell apart and it stopped mooing. I was surprised to find that they still make this kind of thing. $10 on Amazon.
