The Learning Lemur (aka Junior Chimp) strikes again...and some bird acrobatics and bling

I wonder if I have the four-leaf clover thing figured out, other than the whole isolated gene thing.

Yesterday, I found more four-leaf clovers around the stop sign...and five-leaf clovers, too.


Wacky mutants! I noticed what looked like dog urine on one of them (which is probable, since Hooper is big on marking everything everywhere, and there are all those other dogs on our street). That made me think of one day at Armleder when Isabelle kept bringing me four-leaf clovers in the dog park.
Dog urine? Mutant clovers? Could there be a connection?
Hey. At least it isn't dead stuff.

Sweet moment with my finger on the "burst" button:




This weekend, my brother-in-law Kevin will marry his Long-Time-Girlfriend Rachel. I am looking forward to it very much,
1. They have been dating for ten zillion years and enough is enough already.
2. Isabelle and Lorelei are going to be the flower girls. Geoff is a groomsman.
3. The wedding is at The Wilds.
4. The Wilds is very near Bill and Julie's. : )

Since I never buy ready-made jewelry anymore, I can whip up anything I need, and today I made myself proud:

I have been saving these brushed silver connectors, and I had a bunch of Swarovski crystals left after Trixie's bracelet.
It took me over an hour to string all this. It's on Beadalon wrapped wire, and each connector is filled with crystals and silver spacers.
It turned out exactly as I pictured it in my head. Always a bonus.

I'm wearing black and white at the ceremony, so those little splashes of color will be just right.

Tons of photos will be taken this weekend, so stay tuned!
