Costco

Costco is my favorite store.. You may remember this is my favorite place to shop
(10 Random facts about myself).
I love the feeling of stocking up the pantry.
I am very proud of the inside of my cabinets. Unlike the rest of my chaotic house, my cabinets are always neat and well orgainzed. I should just leave all the doors open so one can see I have areas of selective organization.

Anyone care for a can of corn or tomato sauce? maybe chicken broth? mayonaise?

Move aside green beans, I'm moving in to the cupboard!

Signs of Life

I think I may be coming out of winter hibernation.

I really am just a spring, fall, summer gal. Just your all around "anything but winter" gal.

"I'd give all wealth that years have piled,

To be once more a little child

For the bright summer days."

Daffodils in the front yard

Cyber Trip

In Cyberspace I visit lots of places that make me feel a little less than adequate in my own life.

MEADOW BROOK FARM:

The Green House at Meadow Brook Farm   
All I can say is this is BEAUTIFUL.

The Barn at Meadow Brook farm
Oh dear... I am drowning on my own drool now.

I become so envious.
I know, I know, don't "covet thy neighbor".

I am not coveting I am just dreaming...kind of.

I Live Here...

My internet fix tonight is a blog that I have followed for quite some time now. 

I Live Here SF    and    Tangobaby

The photographer, Julie Michelle , is a self taught photographer in San Francisco. Julie's San Francisco blog shares photographs and stories of the people that call San Francisco home. I find this so fascinating...people who are drawn to the city. Their stories are pretty amazing.

Once a very, very long time ago I dreamed that when I grew up I would live in San Francisco. Whatever in the world possessed me make such a statement I will never know. As a matter of fact I was so adamant about living in the City I told my mother that I would not need to learn how to cook because I was going to live in the City and have a personal chef and a maid service to boot.

Thank goodness life took me in the complete opposite direction, I am NOT a city dweller by any means, although I could go for the chef and maid service. Unfortunately, my "country income" excludes that luxury.
Never the less I am intrigued by those who have chosen the City as their home.

I would really enjoy having a "I Live Here" blog for my local area. The trouble is actually finding people that would be willing to share their story. Country Folk have a tendency to keep to themselves.

You never know, one day I might just happen to come along someone who would be willing to share their story.
I'll be ready...

Hello... my name is Cow. I Live Here...

Confession of a Junkie

I have a confession... I AM AN INTERNET JUNKIE! Here let me say it again...I AM AN INTERNET JUNKIE! That's right JUNKIE...Seriously I have a ton of other things I could be doing at any given moment of my life, other than just cruising around out in cyberspace.
If there exists an Internet Junkie support group then I need to go.
As any typical user and abuser-I feel guilty after a Internet binge. After the binge I run around like a mad woman picking up this and that...cursing myself for not getting more important things done.
After Internet binging I go around apologizing for my abuse and neglect of my poor home, and crafty things waiting to be crafted.
In my defense I have come up with a plan... my punishment for being a 'junkie" is that every day I spend ridiculous amounts of time "using" I will find something useful and informative that I have found out there in cyberspace to share. By sharing I will convince myself that I, in fact, haven't wasted time, proving that I have learned something useful. Doesn't one good junkie have to have a partner in crime, who likes to be a loner junkie?
Tonight in cyberspace here are some cool things I found (cool = useful & and  informative):

The Savvy Photographer
Super cool (remember cool = useful & and  informative) Barn Wood Rug. Who wouldn't want one of those? Plus amazing photography.

The Vintage Moth
Won't even say it.....
In case you ever want anything Vintage (ie clip-art)

Come on, go ahead...humor me and join in.

I'll even throw in a picture.

Love ya
