Late Update
We were busy running around...we hit Austin to do some Christmas shopping and we both agreed - no malls! So we visited a local art co-op called Blue Genie and found some fun locally grown things...i ran into Lisa Crowder who i haven't seen in ages, she makes really wonderful sterling silver jewelry (her name is on my Links page if you want to go see), and we caught up with our lives...we were going to hit the 'big mama' of local art establishments, the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar, but we decided - bleh...as it turns out, that was the right idea (its downtown and a bit of a hassle to get to)- because it doesn't start until next week (Dec 14)...ha!
I took the Vampyr out for the spin today, rinsed her down and cleaned her up nicely...it was such a nice day to ride, low 80's, clouds, cool breezes...but I hear that the Winter Warlock is coming back for a short visit this week...no more Mr. Heat Miser...I wonder where the butterflies will go...our house was bombarded with ladybugs last week, an outbreak late in the year had them flying all over...in fact, i found a stray on the sofa tonight...at first we thought the bees were going crazy, but they were too small...and then we saw lots of orange dots crawling on the house..there musta been a few hundred...it was really weird...that was last weekend...this weekend there were maybe 6 out there today...but the rest of the bees/butterflies are still showing up...a pipevine swallowtail has been visiting the past 3 days...and the zebras are still going strong...two Queens have been flitting around as well (insert joke here)...
