More Shel Silverstein
It's Dark in Here by Shel SilversteinI am writing these poems
From inside a lion,
And it's rather dark in here.
So please excuse the handwriting
Which may not be too clear.
But this afternoon by the lion's cage
I'm afraid I got too near.
And I'm writing these lines
From inside a lion,
And it's rather dark in here.
Anthropologie
While I was on vacation last week hanging out at Jean's lake home (that should be on the cover of House Beautiful and every other magazine featuring divine living),
Jean's Lake Home
The dining room at her lake home. The rug is from Anthropologie. Too bad it is so hard to see!
I was struck by the number of times I would admire something and Jean would announce that it came from Anthropologie. I used to get the catalogue but Anthropologie is one of the rarities in that they actually monitor the effectiveness of their catalogue. After I bought two outrageously inappropriate articles of clothing for myself, I stopped looking at the catalogue. They stopped sending it to me after a time since it was apparent I wasn't spending my money with them.
I found my way to their online site and hit the jackpot. I love bedding and our bed has needed new "stuff" for quite a while now. After John declared that he wanted neutral tones, I bought this...

Lilacs
I have been feeling so left out as my friend Chrislyn talks about her arms full of lilac blooms this spring. I love lilacs and can smell that heady bouquet simply by taking a deep breath and closing my eyes. My grandmother had a grand lilac bush in her backyard and I remember just hanging out by the bush when it blossomed in the spring thinking it was wonderful to have such a thing in my world.
Here in California I thought it was impossible to grow lilacs and had just accepted that fact until Chrislyn's flowers prodded me into exploring what might possibly be available for hardiness zone 9. And, Eureka! I found a lilac bush, bought it and will count the days until it is shipped in October and then count the days until it flowers in spring 2010!

Bad Medicine Lake
I have just returned from my happiest place on earth (sorry Disneyland), Veronen's Resort on Bad Medicine Lake. I spent a lot of summers at Veronen's when I was growing up and look forward to going back as often as I can. It says everything about the resort that the same families have been coming back for their "week" at the lake for two generations now. No need to advertise as they rarely have a campground vacancy and it is odd to the extreme for a cabin to come up vacant.
Bad Medicine Lake is a spring-fed lake located in Forest Township in Becker County, Minnesota. It got its name from the fact that early Native Americans in the area thought that a lake with neither inlet nor outlet was a place of bad omen ("bad medicine") and would not hunt or fish near the lake. The lake is approximately five miles long, a half mile wide, and reaches depths of up to 90 feet (27 m). It is known for its clear, cold waters and rainbow trout fishing. It has experienced dramatic changes in its fish habitat and fish community in the last 35 years. Regarded as a bass/panfish lake in the 1950s and 1960s, the lake is now managed primarily for rainbow trout and walleye. The DNR turned Bad Medicine Lake into a trout lake in 1977, following an explosion of native crayfish that eliminated the vegetation used by bass and panfish. Roughly 16,000 rainbow trout are stocked annually, including Kamloops and Madison strains. There are two active resorts located on the lake. Veronen's Resort is a family owned and operated cabin and campground established in 1946 by Bill and Gertie Veronen. Today it is run by Bill and Gertie's kids and their spouses and Bill and Gertie's grandkids. The motto, "Great fishing, great hunting, great family" describes to perfection.
Just a mile or so down the driveway and you are there!
As seen from the air. Look at that blue water!
One of the docks and one of the dogs. The dogs are as much a part of the experience as the people!
The brag board on the far wall in the "gathering room" in the lodge. Also home to the weekly potlucks.
