~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Update ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunday, the morning after the Yard Art Extravaganza.
First: Good golly gracious pete, I am tired. Do you know what happens when a small town girl (an older girl for sure, but I'm claiming it) tries to keep up with a sleek urbanite like Tufa Girl? We get tired... very very tired. Last night we decided to walk downtown after the tour because it would be fun.
And it was fun but it was the time of night where I am sitting in front of the TV, blogging and halfway watching American Idol. So listen folks and listen carefully:
There is a world where people do cool stuff at night! I know, it floored me too. My town pretty much closes up at 6 so going to the grocery store 7 at night requires much debate.
Anyway, I go home today and will begin sorting through the hundreds of pictures that I took. Tufa Girl also took hundreds. This will be a BIG project but I am up for the job.
So here I am getting the best possible shot for you. Getting dirty and possibly risking life and limb from falling yard art debris...
you are welcome.
Prettyyyyyyyy! (I want one!! Illuminated, non-Holiday Yard Art = Priceless)
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you for getting dirty and risking life and limb...the stuff above you looks shiny and Sharp! We look forward to seeing the Adventures!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have been worn out at well, LH. So glad you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteYour town closes up at 6 o'clock ? That explains a lot ...
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks like you snuck behind someone's trailer!
ReplyDeleteAnd my town stays open till at least 8, we are big partiers.
She did not miss a step.
ReplyDeleteHope you had as much fun as I did, LH!
I know what you mean. When garden bloggers get together, watch out. Jean from Jean's Garden and Jan from Thanks for Today visited me for the day today, and I was wiped out and had to take a nap--something I haven't done in 10 years. I wouldn't survive a weekend with Tufa Girl.
ReplyDeleteShyrlene, everything was pretty or surprising or just plan fun. The night life was amazing for a small-town person like me.
ReplyDeleteKaren, You are very very welcome. Because I hate messing up my hair.
LVL, Tufa Girl is like the Every Ready Bunny. I just managed to keep up by fortifying myself with plenty of Diet Coke.
b-a-g, I don't know what you mean, are you perhaps implying that I am not worldly?
eventer79, This Austin yard arters are in a whole different league than the basic back country road variety we get around here.
Tufa Girl, I had an amazing time. Thanks for putting up with me and all my laughter. I think Tufa may have been a little taken aback at first that I pretty much laugh at just about anything. I am easily amused. Thanks Tufa Girl, you were a perfect hostess.
Carolyn, yes if Tufa comes to visit you may need a pre-nap.
i wish i was there! man alive how i wish i was there.
ReplyDeleteHi LH, I know it's heavy and dangerous work but I'm selfishly pleased you do it (someone's got to do it!) because i get a good laugh. Like Shyrlene I want the coloured thing! cheers, catmint
ReplyDeletediane, more than one I said, I wish Diane was here with her professional photography skills. We did the best we cold with our point and shot cameras. Plus you would have a been a blast to spend the weekend with.
ReplyDeleteOh oh and yes yes yes, Texas puts a star on every dang blame thing they can find.
catmint, it was dangerous! Man a ant could have crawled on me or some other such vermin (that has 3 legs that I cannot mention)
The Color things were amazing. Tufa got some great shots and my camera was challenged by the lights and the darkness (or maybe I was challenged) but anyway those pieces were like $1800 and up. Just you you know to budget for one.
Hy, do you want to exchange links? I have a news blog and I already added your blog to my blog list. Thank you, my link is:

LH, you are a brave and noble soul, risking life and limb like that, let alone what might happen to your morals if you stay out past 7:00. I shed tears of gratitude in your honor. *sniff*
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacy, I am still recovering. I'll put up a new yard tonight.
ReplyDeleteExcellent reporting skillz!
ReplyDeleteDoes Tufa get another set of Golden Balls for putting up with you all day? >:D
redgirl, Ha... I am a delight but apparently I sound twangy. Which is another way of saying I talk like a hick.
ReplyDeleteHow can you sound twangy living where you do? You must have practiced in the privacy of your own home. Like with Rosetta Stone: Hick-ville
ReplyDeleteredgirl, I do not live in an isolation tank. I do live amongst other hicks, you know.
ReplyDeleteI still like the idea of a Rosetta Stone for that. You know, so when politicians want to sound more like everyman, they get the free demo version of hickville for their next campaign meeting.
ReplyDeleteDang. I missed this???! Can you all call me the next time you are all getting together for fun???! I am sincerely jealous.
ReplyDeleteLin, if you are up for the trip. I think this will be an annual pilgrimage.
