Bird Envy

This lovely guy met us in the zoo parking lot a few years ago. He was quite the greeter.

I'm in love with blue.

turquoise, aqua, teal, blue, azure, aquamarine, blue-green

If only we could capture that color and make it into clothes, paint, eye shadow, fingernail polish...

Oh, wait. I think it's been done. But nothing is as good as the real deal. Nature really rocks blue.

Thanks, Mr. Peacock, for the beauty.

What is your favorite color?

Angie Quantrell is racing the clock to make several deadlines. She thought it would be fun to share some of her favorite photos.

The TARDIS - Rustic Style

At my house, we call this huge, brown, wood storage cupboard the TARDIS. The grands call it the TARDIS. Family members do the same.

I'm sure most people will not understand the significance. As my TARDIS is not the least bit blue, or bigger on the inside, or even capable of time travel with a cool Time Lord.

But TARDIS it is.

Currently, my TARDIS is the toy and storage cupboard. Eventually, the brown TARDIS will become the blue TARDIS. I have found the perfect TARDIS blue and pinned it on my Dr. Who Pinterest board. My goal is to refurbish this box to resemble the real TARDIS. You may have to use your imagination just a bit, for the shape is off. But since I call it the TARDIS now and it looks nothing remotely like a TARDIS, I guess I will be good at that.

And after it becomes the TARDIS, should I ever have a pottery studio, it will be my damp closet for clay work in progress. Not many would have a TARDIS in their pottery studio. Maybe I will be the first.

But for now, it is filled with all that thrills a child. Chaos, toys, games, junk, tubs, and fun galore.

Just put it in the TARDIS, boys, in the TARDIS.
