365 CHALLENGE: DAY THIRTY FOUR

THIRD DAY'S THEME: SOMETHING ORANGE

HANDMADE PAPER ORNAMENTS FOR THE BIG WHITE WALL IN MY SITTING ROOM. BIG ENOUGH TO MAKE AN STATEMENT BUT TRANSIENT ENOUGH TO NOT BE A COMMITMENT. 

JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT. 

365 CHALLENGE: DAY TWENTY SEVEN

MY CAMELLIAS! 

SO LUSH AND GORGEOUS...

365 CHALLENGE: DAY TWENTY FIVE

THIS IS THE LAST ADDITION TO MY COLLECTION OF BOTTLES. IT USED TO BELONG TO MY LATE GRANDMOTHER AND IT'S VERY OLD.  I LOVE ALL THE GOLDEN DESIGNS ON ITS SURFACE AND IT MAKES ME SMILE. 

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DATE IT. SUGGESTIONS, ANYONE?

365 CHALLENGE: DAY TWENTY FOUR

IT'S FREAKING COLD HERE, RIGHT NOW. WE'RE NOT USED TO SUCH LOW TEMPERATURES, WE HAVE LOVELY WEATHER ALL YEAR ROUND, SO THIS SITUATION IS NEW AND UNEXPECTED. I'M ENJOYING IT, I LOVE ME SOME SOME BLANKETS AND WOOL SOCKS, BUT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS EXCITED AS I AM.

I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE BLANKET SITUATION IN OUR SITTING ROOM. IT'S GETTING OUT OF HAND! I'M THINKING ABOUT USING ONE OF THOSE LOVELY WOOD LADDERS TO DISPLAY THEM WITHOUT VISUALLY CLUTTERING THE SPACE, AND SO FAR THIS IS THE BEST SOLUTION I'VE COME UP WITH. IF WE GO WITH THIS IDEA, THE LADDER WILL BE PROPPED AGAINST THIS WHITE WALL, AND OUR LIVELY  ANTHURIUM WON'T BE THE ONLY NOTE OF COLOUR IN THIS CORNER. 

I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS FOR SPRUCING UP MY HOME, RIGHT NOW! MUST BE THE UPCOMING SPRING!

365 CHALLENGE: DAY TWENTY TWO

LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM OF THE FALLING RAIN,
TELLING ME JUST WHAT A FOOL I'VE BEEN.
I WISH THAT IT WOULD GO AND LET ME CRY IN VAIN,
AND LET ME BE ALONE AGAIN.

RHYTHM OF THE RAIN.
THE CASCADES: RHYTHM OF THE RAIN.

365 CHALLENGE: DAY SEVENTEEN

PREPARING A NEW POST FOR LA VOLVORETTA...

365 CHALLENGE: DAY SIXTEEN

I'M ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS.
I'M ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT'S COMPLICATED.
AND THOUGH I KNOW YOU CAN'T APPRECIATE IT,
I'M ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS.


ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS
GARBAGE: GARBAGE

365 CHALLENGE: DAY THIRTEEN

ENJOYING THE PRETTY COLOURS AT HOME.  

RIGHT NOW I HAVE A LOT OF GORGEOUS PLANTS INSIDE, SO MANY I'M ALWAYS FORGETTING TO WATER ONE OR ANOTHER. IT' STRESSES ME A LITTLE BIT, BUT SOME OF THEM SEEM TO ACTUALLY LIKE IT BETTER THIS WAY, AND IT'S MAKING ME THINK THAT MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, I WAS KIND OF DROWNING THEM A LITTLE, BEFORE...

I'M REALLY FOND OF ORCHIDS, AND I USED TO HAVE AN AMAZING ONE NOT TOO LONG AGO. THE CRAZY AMOUNT OF FLOWERS IT USED TO HAVE, OMG! IN FACT,  I LOST THE ORCHID BECAUSE IT HAD ALMOST THIRTY FLOWERS IN ONE BRANCH AND IT WEIGHTED SO MUCH THE BRANCH BROKE AND THE PLANT DIED. I HAVEN'T MANAGED TO ACHIEVE THE SAME RESULT WITH ANOTHER ORCHID SINCE. 

NOW I HAVE A QUITE NICE ARRANGEMENT OF PLANTS I ROTATE AROUND. I'M GOING TO TAKE A FEW PINTURES OF MY CAMELLIAS NEXT, THEY'RE SO CUTE!

OK, I FOUND ONE PICTURE OFTHE ORCHID IN MY ARCHIVES, AND I'M GOING TO POST IT HERE SO WE CAN ALL MOURN IT PROPERLY.

WAS IT AMAZING OR WHAT?  

365 CHALLENGE: DAY EIGHT

I FIND ROUTINE PRETTY COMFORTING.  I KNOW IT CAN MAKE SOME PEOPLE FEEL CONSTRAINED OR LEAD THEM TO BELIEVE THEY'RE LIVING A BORING LIFE, BUT THAT'S NOT MY CASE. 

I'M CRAVING THE SWEET, SWEET SERENITY OF OUR EVERYDAY LIFE. WE'VE HAD ONE OF THE MOST EXHAUSTING CHRISTMASES EVER, AND I THINK THAT GETTING BACK INTO OUR PROGRAMMED SCHEDULE IS GOING TO HELP US ALL A LOT. 

I'LL MISS THE LONG AFTERNOONS FILLED WITH LAUGHTER, THOUGH. WELL, YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT...
