Yours truly with the ol' wand-o-fire... 'twas pretty scary... I was nervous that I'd catch my hair on fire... this (above) isn't my best move, I invented something we affectionately call "the gnome dance"... it's not something you could catch on film.

Fall is upon us! I love those golden ginkgo leaves... they really look a bit silly in the Aus. environment... but in all honesty, they don't belong in the American anymore than they belong here.

Dan and the poi.
Good evenin' from the Botanical Garden. I was working on homework when this photo op. jumped me.

Don't have much to say today... Erin McKeowen's song "Born to hum" comes to mind... "Once in the spring of my 24th year, I had nothin' to say. With a danglin' promise, a terrible past, I threw all the words away. We, we were born to hummmm" (I'm not implying that I identify with the dangling promise or a terrible past... just that I've got nothin' to say).

Things I'm thankful for today:

-A woman with long white wavy hair who smiled at me in the morning

-individually packaged tim tams (it's not as bad as it sounds)

-Eucalyptus oil

-Apple Cider Vinegar

-Black current apple tea

-Family dice tournaments every night

-Shared food

-Ellie talking about love (even though she claims it does not exist

-Preserved land

-the comics we hung on our bathroom door

-the feeling when I woke up that told me today was a day for yellow whale earrings... yes, that means some serious self expression.

ps-no joke, I'd love to hear the things you're thankful for... what a collection it could become. (and you don't have to register with blogger to leave a comment... so go for it)

goodnight.

love,

meg
