The Bluebird of Happiness

Join in for another episode of Outdoor Wednesday over at A Southern Daydreamer

And I'm linking up to Blue Monday over at Smiling Sally

Today I am cranky.  We are in the midst of another series of monsoons and
icky gray weather. Living in California is a real privilege, but the last few years
of drought have spoiled us for what winter here is supposed to be like.  Now that
we seem to have returned to a normal winter of much rain and gray skies ....... yep,
I'm cranky.  I do know it is a GOOD thing and it will make the summer garden
grow like crazy, but I am feeling real cranky.

So in all my crankiness, I am pretending that I am OUTDOORS.

It is taking a lot of pretending.  These images were taken at 11:00 AM with the

power meter cranking over like a race car engine, since I had THOUSANDS

of watts worth of light bulbs on to light my very own outdoor experience.

Can you find my little keepsake Bluebird?

It's a little enamel bird given to me by a friend many years ago.

He's keeping the rest of the Bluebirds company on this pretty vintage tablecloth full of

Spring and birds and flowers!  I feel so much better.  Can you hear the birds singing?

I can.

How's your day going?

I promise to send some warm weather your way, as soon as it comes around again,

but in the meantime I guess our current storms will be visiting those of you to the East soon enough.
