i have completely gotten over my bout of bronchitis...
but i'm still on hiatus!
i know i said (in my previous post) that i would be wandering blogland...
visiting all the places i love...
but i haven't.
bad me.
i just can't get motivated to do so.

i need more TIME for STUFF...
like reading books (i have read about 5 since my last post)
i need more TIME OUTSIDE...
(temps to freezing at night, in the 60's during the day. aaaaaaah. perfect!)

| blossoms on the apple tree we planted in milo's honor |
TIME to breathe the fresh air...
and watch for snakes, lizards & bugs...

| a Red-banded Hairstreak, on 'milo's apple tree |
 |
| a Cloudless sulphur resting on the ground's crunchy leaves |
 |
| a Phaon Crescent soaking up the sun |
TIME to listen to the birds...

| Red-bellied woodpecker |

| a PEACEful dove |

TIME to save a dehydrated turtle that wandered into the yard...
i carried him way out back...to the wet & swampy-ish area...
and left him at the edge of the water.
when i went back to check on him later...he was gone!
i've been making more TIME for being creative...
TIME for cleaning found snake bones & making new earrings!
these (and more) are at my etsy shop, but i'm also considering going to a local reptile shop to see if they'd be interested in selling them in their store. BUT i'm a terrible salesperson! SO, truthfully, i'll probably never get around to doing that!
anyway...yep!! i feel like a deserter...a heel...a stick in the mud!
my first blog post was on 21 april, 2010...
with no real vacation.
i started to feel as though cyberspace was sucking the life out of me.
TIME for change.
so. i'm still on an extended...time-out.
i still check my email...
and i can be spotted on FB now and then.
OH and i almost forgot...emo!! 7 months old on march 16th...
and still a tree hugger & climber! we take him out for 'walks' regularly!
in the meantime...i hope life is good for all.
(mucho thanks & gratitude to all who left notes of
support & encouragement & understanding on my last post!!)
AND
thanks in advance for sticking it out to the end here today!
take care & be safe.
