Along came a spider ......and a tea cup for the jolly green giant!

Good afternoon Blogland Neighbors! I've been trying to change my blog over to my new email address ..... so this is an experimental post ..... and I'm sincerely hoping I don't totally screw the whole thing up and lose it all in outer space!


.....and, so not to totally bore all of you (and to see if the pictures come up on here) I grabbed my camera and went outside to take a picture of .....

......this guy....he's been hanging around in the potted plant at the foot of our front porch steps for a couple of weeks .... through rain and wind and plant waterings .... he's pretty resiliant I must say.... it looks like he'll be staying for awhile so maybe we should name him ....(I'm not sure he's a him .... I suppose he could be a her....)

Well, whatever ..... now on to the next bit of trivia on our agenda ....I was out doing some shopping at Walmart yesterday and I came across this.....


.....a GIANT tea cup (talk about your Big Gulps!).... actually, this was in the gardening dept because it's a planter .....and at first I was going to put it on the porch with a pot of yellow mums in it , but then I thought it would look cute in the kitchen holding fruit .....hmmmm, maybe I'll go get another one and put that one on the porch with the mums in it..... I know, such riveting decisions ..... giant tea cup on the porch.... giant tea cup in the kitchen .... or both..... and maybe I should take the oranges out of that red plastic net bag thing they came in .... ouch! more decisions..... my head may just explode!

Well, time to throw dinner together! Be back soon!

Toodles,
Mary Anne (aka Mare)
