Hello creatures of the garden...
Its still summer here...gonna be 94 here today, i do believe...the garden shows it, things are growing and going crazy...the butterflies are everywhere again, and I spotted 3 monarch chrysalis on the house yesterday...of the 20+ that we had, I've only seen these three, but its kinda like hunting easter eggs - you never know where another will pop up and it makes for an interesting trek thru the grounds...
I was watching Nightline last night and a new drug kids are abusing called 'saliva'...which is the common name for 'sage' and we have loads of different salvias in our garden...in fact, I'm not certain but I think we have the exact salvia they were talking about that kids are smoking...some dude sells it for $65 a gram and I thought, 'geez I must have $1000 worth of that stuff in my front yard'...
the hummingbirds are enjoying the long purple flowers that it produces and it would never occur to me in a million years to smoke it...I just don't do recreational drugs...never have...my drug of choice has always been chocolate...when the plant is spent for the year, we'll cut it back and put it in the compost pile along w/ the rest of the garden...but for now the birds are enjoying it and that's all I can ask for...
I spotted a zebra butterfly today...I was excited to finally see one a few days ago, its the only buttefly in my books that I wanted to see and never had...but now I've seen a few..they are not big and they are more wide than long...
I'm still working on beads...I'll be offering another REady for Pickin page where you'll be able to place an order, just like the Cowboys and Clementines...now that I've gone thru an order situation, I believe I can leave this new group up longer for more orders, so I don't anticipate closing it as quickly as I had to...As long as ya'll who place orders are cool about waiting...BUT, if you NEED to have your beads quicker, I was thinking I could put a 'rush priority' status on your beads (I realize many of you are designers who have upcoming shows)...we can talk about that if/when we need to, but its another option I could offer so you could jump to the head of the line if you needed it...

I watched that thing on salvia too. Seems like a crazy thing to smoke, really. My drug of choice is cookies. Mmmmmm... Not those healthy choice cookies, either. No Ma'am. I want ooey, gooey, chocolate chip cookies or chewy snickerdoodles or even chocolate dipped biscotti. Dang it. Now I need a cookie. Or a brownie. Mmmmm...
See? Drugs are bad, kids. That salvia was just the gateway to a sugar coma.
