It's inevitable..

along with the budding of flowers...
come bugs...

I've already seen a few of my polka dotted ladies appearing in my bathroom window...
But I dare say...
I am happy to make room for some creepy crawlies.
especially if they are glittery and golden..
if it means that my scented ladies shall appear..

It's true what they say...

What's Old is New Again.

Gold Flecked Cork has been around the block a VERY VERY long time..

And
over the past couple years there has been quite the resurgence..
Luckily..
C. Wonder has brought it back again this year with
some serious amazingness..
How could you blame them...
everything ALWAYS looks better with gold..

It may be a bit too early in the season to think about fish...

However..

 Last week started the countdown for my Pisces lovelies..

Luckily, there are way too many fish in my life to count...

Yet, I am a bit bias as they surely are the most sparkliest of the bunch..

Honestly..

I am absolutely positively over my winter boots..

And my toes..

Well, my toes are feeling suffocated by the layers upon layers of cotton socks..

If only I could show them some LOVE...

Maybe this little ode to summer toes will help...

ANYONE who has lived with me knows that I am a hoarder...
of magazines..
But since I am sticking true to my New Year's resolutions..
sadly..
they must go...
Not all..
my god.. that would send me into shock..
So..
over these past few brutally cold weeks,
I have said goodbye to some very very dear friends..
But
for the lucky remaining few..
I need something
a little glittery
and
a little golden
to 
honor and contain my lovely ladies..

Little Narragansett Bay

1/20/14

Even though the air was so cold that it seemed to take our breaths away on our annual Martin Luther King Jr. holiday walk...

the sea was alive and glittering as the light danced through the spotted clouds above....

We humans are much like the sea...

moving forward..

constantly changing through ebbs & tides..
We are making those craggy rocks smooth to the touch..
slowly but surely eliminating sharp angles..
never dulling the colors..
but rather exposing their beauty that lies within..

We are lucky. 
We now ALL have the ability to have dreams,
share them
AND
make them happen...

As I watched Mr. G bound and leap o'er the fields and head towards the craggy rocks to look out over the sea..
I was reminded of a dream that I have..
A dream that the other mammals that share our earth with us..
may one day share
in respect...
in justice...
and
in freedom...

Who knows..
Dreams are known to come true...

Dear Santa,

Here's what I'm thinking....Next year, the Wesson Family flies South for the winter. I do know that you can find us anywhere we go and palm trees definitely make perfect stocking hangers.  We did receive a major reprieve today as it was in the tropical 50's but lately it's been in the double minuses. One would think that all those cookies, cakes, cheeses, chocolates and more cheeses(which added an extra layer to my physique)would help...but suffice it to say..it hasn't done a darn thing. I know it's possible as you are THE biggest purveyor of glitter and magical things. In the meantime, I'll just let my imagination take me away...

to blue seas and golden sunsets...

To Sequins, Stripes and Snakeskin...

Your EVER Faithful Believer,

Lucinda

P.S. Thank you for the the electric blanket. It arrived today..

Just in time for the cold snap tonight.
