Halloween Festivities (Pictures!)
4 years ago
Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a fang-tastic Halloween :). It's nice being able to celebrate with folks again. Here's a picture of the roommates, our friends, and myself. Pretty proud of my costume (it got LOTS of compliments-I was the only witch at the party!). Spread was typical party foods, and we had a lot of fun.

Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Pictures
Comments (16)Nativemel: It is breathtaking, isn't it? We decided these beds along the walkway were as pretty as we have ever seen them and we've been going for years. I'm pretty sure the fuzzy blue flower is argeratum. There are gerbera daisies mixed in (that's the large daisy-shaped flowers in various bright colors). Maybe some cape daisy (the smaller yellow ones)? Keep in mind that Disney will change out the flowers in this bed once the festival is over. These are great flowers for Florida's Spring but won't be this pretty when the summer heat & daily rain start. It's not easy to achieve this look in a home garden - at least not all year long. If you use perennials for the basis of your bed, but then mix in some annuals for seasonal color (and change them out 2 or 3 times a year) you can get close though. We saw huge beds with hundreds of bromeliads all around the Epcot globe and noticed that each plant was still in it's own pot. All they need to do when they change over a bed is pull up the pots, scrape back the mulch, set down pots of a different plant and re-spread the mulch. A fresh sprinkle of mulch on top and it once again looks like a garden at peak performance. The broms probably go back to a greenhouse to wait for next year's display.

Comments (12)Thanks for the warm welcome and birthday wishes! Yes, our house is new (hence the empty front porch). We parted ways with our builder about 3 months before finishing the house--so we were left with finishing silly little details like a PORCH RAILING. Until that's installed, there will be no relaxing on the front porch! dining_delight, I love partylite (and SLAH) and yes, those are partylite pieces in the built ins. I still have some things that haven't made it to the new house yet that I can't wait to display. jamie_mt, Your post made me laugh. I meant that I don't do "staging" as in...putting things together in a professional manner. I love pretty things...but man I can't figure out where they should go or how they should be displayed. So, as for my pictures. I had just put away all the folded laundry that draped over the chaise lounge and ottoman...I swept my floors and fluffed my pillows...YET SOMEHOW managed to overlook the one lone sock hiding under the couch in EVERY PICTURE! LOL. Oh, and I also had to crop part of my kitchen island out of one shot so you guys wouldn't see the clutter. There is only one room in my house that stays clean and that's the laundry room. It's my favorite room of the house and I refuse to let it get messy!...See MoreLet's see the Halloween Pictures!!
Comments (1)Oh they are so very cute! I bet they had a very good time too. DD and SIL had to work this year so the GD didn't dress up and do anything. She's still pretty young to understand all about Halloween but I know next year she'll probably get to do something. Dancey...See MoreHarbin Ice Festival... lots of pictures
Comments (7)Amazing stuff isn't it? I've been following the ice festival for years after a friend, who lived near Harbin on Sakhalin, a small island off the coast of Russia, went there a couple of times. Below is the site of photographer R. Todd King. He has taken photos of the ice festival for many years. Jodi- Here is a link that might be useful: Annual photos of the Harbin Ice Festival...See More

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoBrad, I've not been good about taking photos of my costumes, but here are a few:
Bavarian mountain climber, 2014 - I did not make this, and it's not much of a costume. This is not the Bavarian cane, as that cane did not arrive from Germany in time.
Costume that I made from scraps of zebra hides, leftover from upholstery department at work. This was for the fetish ball in L.A.
Same costume, plus I made the skirt for the woman in the blue wig. This is also my blue wig, and she is also wearing my shirt and belt. These are from my house in Venice, circa 1998, I think. These photos are scanned, and so I cannot be sure when they were taken.- 4 years ago
