A Very Merry Unbirthday to You

It has come to my attention that some of you have a few concerns about my mental health since Ava blew my cover and outed me yesterday. All I can say is don't believe EVERYTHING Ava wrote about me on Wednesday... Yes, I was in the woods in my nightie, but I Was NOT lurking, thank you very much. I was just getting ready for our Progressive Mad Tea Party Saturday. My mother used to call this kind of thing a "creative fit." (she totally got me.) I simply wanted to take some pictures before the sun got too high and cast a shadow, so I was in a hurry and didn't have time to put on more formal attire. That's all. Makes perfect sense to me. We plan to start here early Saturday morning in our garden with an UNbirthday Party and move on to several other stops along the way for refreshments, winding up at The Mad Tea party over at Vanessa's Fanciful Twist. Aaanyhooo...we've been lucky this week; we've had several sudden rainshowers, so the grass is green and sparkling; Mr. Alberta's been busy with his weedeater and lawnmower, and Rosie, Ava's elderly but valiant Golden Retriever, has kept the deer from grazing on the flowerbeds like those all-you-can-eat salad bars... The bumblebees are buzzing and the hummingbirds are humming. One day to go, and there will be lemon bars and blueberry trifle and strawberries dipped in chocolate and tea, lots and lots of sweet,lemony tea. So join us, won't you, and I promise NOT to wear my nightgown!
