Eclectically Yours,

New Do

It's spring. Time to spring clean, time to vacuum through life. So I went with a new look.

Excuse Me??!!

Okay, you all know how Johnny Depp came to MY hometown. I mean, if you don't, you should really read all about it HERE. And HERE. HERE. And oh, yeah, HERE. And I guess, HERE.

Dear Readers! It doesn't end there! Even if you wish it would. Because I am just THREE degrees removed from Johnny Depp. THREE.
One,two, THREE.
TRES.
Because I have a sister-in-law. And she loves to go to London. You see where this is going,right? No?

Okay...it's like this:

Me: (the year I discovered Johnny=1987)

My husband: (the year I discovered Johnny =1987):

 

My sister-in-law, Lori. (the year I discovered Johnny =1987)

(she's the one in the veil, marrying David's brother)

....my sister-in-law and her husband with Kevin McNally, this fall in London....

and...are you ready for this? Here it comes...

... Kevin McNally with Johnny...

Huh? Did I tell you? THREE degrees of separation between Johnny and I.

Or is it more like four? Do I count my brother-in-law?  I suppose I should....but that is much more depressing. No, three degrees of separation between Johnny and I sound better.

Johnny and I are likethis you know...

Staring At Nothing

Colored Pencil on Paper
"Staring At Nothing"

The artists says:

"I started out with the yellow jacket.I thought it would be interesting to see with all the emotion and color going on around it.  Her hair is another focus, I thought it would be interesting to see it waving in the wind, so you could tell there was wind. I didn't want to draw wind, I wanted you to tell by her hair. The sky is another focus/feature..the color and emotion tells about her life, which might be a little sad since she is staring out at nothing. She might be having something going on in her life. I had the skirt sort of come out towards the bottom. I wanted an Irish feel, because green is a Irish tradition."

Poppy And Rye

    Poppy and Rye by Avi

Ms. D's favorite passage:

"What," Rye said in a choked  whisper, "are you doing here?"

"I came to see if you were all right."

"But...why?"

"Because....you....you dance beautifully," Poppy replied, through it made her whiskers tremble to say it.

"Thank you. And...you dance as if...as if there were moon beams in your toes!"

And, of course, Poppy and Rye get together in the end. How perfect. Mouse love.
