May 14, 2007 7:06 PM- into the greening
Henry cannot contain his joy. Truly, can you not see the happiness radiating from within his refined heart?
Perhaps, he needs to learn not to wear his emotions on his sleeve, as it were, but I'm okay with such wanton displays of exuberance.
Can you blame him?
Just a mere four weeks ago, we were gazing at this and now? Thanks to the fallen hemlock we have a new view.
A view that right now is bringing on the green--that light yellow tops of the trees blooming distinctive seasonal chartreuse green*.
And, scattered through the rough grass otherwise known as field, are clumps of this dark blue flower.
(I would say purple, but don't want to send Wee running for cover).
What are they, tiny violets?
*I don't know if that's the color Crayola has named it, but that's what I call it.
got 2 cents?

jeez... you hate on one colour and the whole world comes down on you. And how many times do I hafta say it?!! NATURALLY OCCURRING PURPLE is a-okay in my books. so bring on the violets, the lilacs, the irses, the eggplant, the grapes, the sunsets, the... the... ahem...other things which are naturally purple! Purple rain baybee, purple rain. (I dunno hat the hell that's suppose to mean either. I am so FREAKING tired over here. but it sounded kinda groovy or something so I'm leaving it.) Smooches on your doggities wrinkly forehead. And yours too. Forehead, I mean, not wrinkles. Gah. What the f*ck am I saying? Must. Go. To. Bed. Drawing for a living day in day out is exhausting. Did you know that? Someone soulda told me.

I work for a flower company and I should know what those are. I am almost positive they are a wild violet. Anyway. About your view. Could it be any better? I see my neighbor's fence. Dang.
P.S. Am still in love with Henry. He could not possibly look more like a Henry.

Even the difference in the view since I was there just a month ago is amazing. A month! Can it be a whole month already!?

I LOVE your view, both of them actually. And your Henry has a younger Marlon Brando kind of thing going on there. ;-) Quite the looker!
Wild violets... I refuse to allow a mower to the grass until they have bloomed all they want.
Chartreuse is my favourite word.

The view is breathtaking - before and after the hemlocks.
And Henry! Oh my god, he is the sweetest, most distinguished looking dog ever.

don't look outside! Sorry. I couldn't help myself. I am weak. ANd it's been raining here for ever. Take pity?
I stole your view. I stole it and set it as wallpaper on my office (work office, not home office) computer. It likes being in central London and told me it deoesn't want to be released back into the wild!

Did you guys build the stone wall or did it come with the property? If you built it yourselves, how did you learn how?

Joy-- the property has stone walls all around it from the mid 1800s-- god knows what ran in the veins of the good souls who built it and lived here then . .

Oh, Henry. It's a good thing I'm not there in person because I'd squish you to pieces. I never get tired of those beautiful pics.
