Let's try this again...

Okay, so.   The computer crisis is averted for now.  That is a good thing.  It's a lovely day again, which is another good thing.  My daffodils are blooming beautifully.  Here, have some flowers:

I just took this picture...didn't even have to mess with the colors in Photoshop 'cause it was perfect just the way it was.   The daffodils are all over the front yard. 

So yeah...trying hard to calm down & be nicer, since it is SO beautiful today & my computer is limping along again in the usual way & yep.  I hate leaving a bitchy post as my "last word".

In other news; in light of my soul-searching entry regarding the value of my work (is it art or is it craft?), the fact that I spent the entire weekend making these barrettes is really very amusing.

Hahahaha!  I crack myself up.  Seriously, next time I get all "Woe!  I am a hack!", please, one of you just say

"BARRETTES"

and gently remind me that I am a whore.  An artistic, crafty whore but a whore nonetheless.  The ginkgo ones are new and cute though...no?

I just plopped 'em up on my Etsy site

BECAUSE I CAN DO THAT NOW.  BECAUSE THE PC IS WORKING AGAIN.

If the wind would just stop blowing so hard, I'd go for a nice long bike ride & calm the heck down, & everything would be just FINE.

*le sigh*

EDIT:  The wind, she has stopped!  As if a prayer has been answered.  My own little meteorological miracle.  So I'm off, for a bike ride, maybe two.  Try & stop me!

Go for a lil walk instead, it's really gorgeous. Heck, it's 30C even HERE. (That's 86F.) As my latest journal entry (well, it's more a photo with caption than a real entry, but it said the necessary stuff) says...I planted a tree today and it all seems pretty decent. :)

I managed to get out for a ride anyway. I figured out; if I pick a starting place halfway along the trail & head into the wind for half of it, I come back to my starting place with the wind at my back, speed easily to the second half, & fight back against the wind. It's like interval strength training. ^_^

You'll have to take pictures of that tree. I love maples!
