QUIET DAY IN EDMONTON......

Not only is the Sunflower the national flower of Russia, it is celebrated in other ways too! The very famous Van Gogh loved them, and they inspired him to paint this:

A print of this sits in one of the torture cubicles in my dentist's office, Dr. I.L. Drillya. And I always hope that I get put in that chair. Also, books are written about this flower:

No, I haven't read it, but I think I'd like to have it just to sit it out for the picture on the cover. And who hasn't heard of Anne Geddes and her famous baby portraits?

This was always one of my favourites. How does she do it, I wonder? She must take a gazillion shots before she gets one where none of the babies are crying or fussing or turning away from the camera. And then of course there is the perfume, a tribute to this sunny flower:

I don't own any of it, and I haven't even smelled it yet, but the next time I see a sample of it I must try some. Maybe it would look good just sitting in my bathroom (which has some sunflower theme in it too) even if I don't prefer the scent?

I never heard back from the people who make the webbands ~ the one I had up on the top left corner is now gone, as yesterday I decided to put my own little something in my sidebar, still with a link to the site with the great webbands, of course! I know that I "polled" all of my gay gentleman friends on here awhile ago, but I still feel more comfortable using the word "gay" rather than "queer". It's just one of those things embedded into my psyche growing up, and I feel much better with this one. Silly, aren't I? Oh well, I am the first person to admit that God's not done with me yet.........

It's been a very nice quiet day here today, and I had an hour long nap this afternoon. Ahhh..... it feels so good to catch up on some zzzzzz's while hubby isn't in bed with me! I taped a movie last night and watched it this morning.... ah yes, yet another Johnny Depp movie, "Benny and Joon". A fabulous movie! If you haven't seen it, it is worth watching, a very endearing movie and Johhny plays a brilliant part in it! In the beginning I used to think he was just worth watching for his eye candy appeal, but he is very talented at his craft. He's played so many different kinds of characters and every one of them were excellent. My favourite so far is The Black Pearl ~ he portrays the funniest and sexiest pirate I've ever seen!

I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend! It is a sunny and warm 72F. here ~ a rather nice day. Tomorrow is supposed to be rather hot, so I'm enjoying this day while I have it, lol. Until next time peeps, take good care of each other and PEACE to you!
