Friends

Today, I was on my way to have coffee that wasn't Starbucks with my new-ish friend, Rain. I say new-ish just because we hadn't "officially" met yet. Kind of like how I haven't met many of you in blog roll on the right hand of this screen...but I still consider you all my friends. Since Em moved, I don't have any coffee dates anymore, so this was pretty exciting. Eem-er and I stopped at Piper's Lagoon for a walk along the way, but it was so windy we moved on to Neck Point Park. There are more windbreaks and paths among the trees at Neck Point than at Piper's, but it was still quite blustery...

The park was pretty much empty, the tide was high and the waves were impressive. Once we were out of the trees, the wind was enough to nearly knock us over. I like it when the weather is like that!

And then to Rain's place, hot coffee to warm my frosty fingers and shortbread cookies with sprinkles!!! I can't seem to resist a cookie with sprinkles...and Eemer couldn't resist jumping on the beautiful furniture! Rain is probably still picking dog hair out of the couch! Eeeeek.

So we talked about this thing, that thing and the other things...just like we'd been chatting all along....and then?

Rain showed me how to get crafty! Who knew that I could be crafty? C'mon, I mean really. Baskets of moss(check out that colour green! It's gorgeous!), filled with soil, and then just add greenery. Sure, it sounds simple enough, doesn't it? If it's so simple, how did I have so many bald spots in mine?

But some good pointers from Rain and I got it all sorted. I think. I will have to look it over in the daylight...it may still need some stategically placed holly or bows or ornaments. My car smelled so good on the way home...I almost forgot that I carry three wet dogs a day in that car!

Thanks so much, Rain. See you again soon?!?
