Be Careful of What You Wish...!

Yesterday I wrote about changing the blog because I thought it would give new perspective and form to issues that I'm facing at the moment.  As most of you have noticed, I jumped the gun a bit yesterday and have now made one more change today...so here we go!  Don't forget-comment here on this post if you want to be in the contest.  I will print all the comments out and put them in a hat and have someone else choose the winner a week from today!

As soon as I turned off the computer, I went out to the terrace to get my watering cans.  I like to water the window boxes of herbs from inside first, and since it was blazing hot, I closed the one shutter to keep the house a little cooler.  I had forgotten to shut the window, and voila!  When I came back in, the whole place was glowing as the sunshine came in through the cracks in the shutters.  I had more rainbows, in number and brilliance, even though they were tiny.  I had more shimmering-everywhere-partout! I played some music while I was watering and 2 or 3 butterflies actually found their way to my breast and rested or fluttered while I watered.  They decided it was time to go, once I started dancing to Big and Rich's-"Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy"! We saved a dragonfly who'd been caught in the Chatette, and last night when I went to bed my old friend Orion was crawling up over the causse to keep the moon and I company throughout the night! So, changing the blog...keeping the window open with the shutters closed...just one (or two) little changes thrown out there in the universe can make all the difference in the world! 

And...17 days to Evelyn! Happy Saturday! It's Assumption here and I'm throwing an Assumption Apero Party! Keep those comments coming!

I'm so pleased everyone is joining in the contest. I'm noticing my own issues about the new design and format and I may put those to you once the week is out and I have a winner. Any of you who are sending comments to me via my e-mail should try to comment here if you want to be included in the contest! Thanks-Laury

Hello ..i absolutely adore your photo, it is amazing, talking about rainbows, I did a post the other day about rainbows, and about donut peaches, and about blackberries too!!! I also have a picture nearly identical of the one in a few posts back...! :-)

Okay, I'm in for the contest! Although I know I'm already a winner cuz I'll get to see your 'moon river' in person very soon! I love the new banner...very peaceful feeling. Don't you just love shutters? Why don't we have them in the States...they make so much sense for hot days. I think you must have special magic to attract butterflies and dragonflies. I have to say I've never had a butterfly land on me nor have I had a dragonfly in the house! only bats!

So what strikes me is how "your moon river" resembles the lakes in New England with the evergreens, and clear starry night... and perhaps your birds are loons? Very, "on golden pond"....

It's nice to see someone who can be open to change which can be so difficult for some. My youngest won't touch his Stoneyfield Yogurt now that the packaging has changed. He wants to write to the company and complain.

No complaining here!
