It has been raining all day...

but Buzz and I don't mind. We will both happily walk in the rain. Plus, we've got plenty of inside activities to enjoy: I've got yards and yards of new fabric to play with (there are two great fabric shops near my aunt and uncle in Wisconsin).


Buzz had some TV shows to catch up on (he loves America's Next Top Model).


Plus, the dirt expanse we refer to as "the yard" has been looking might dry and dusty lately...


I have learned, however, that the rain is unlikely to solve this problem. I asked my neighbor if she had any suggestions about my dirtscape (she has the most luscious garden just 2 feet from this mess) and she told me that she had replaced all of the soil in her garden because what we have is far too high in clay content. Somehow I doubt my landlord wants to tear up the yard anytime soon.

Oh well, back to the sewing machine!

Reason #3 Buzz is a supermodel

While Buzz sometimes jumps completely out of the frame in an uncontrolled frenzy of photographic exaltation, most of the time he remembers Tyra Banks advice and just makes small but significant changes from one frame to the next.



A smile in one picture, a kiss in the next.

America's Next Top Model

Last night I was seriously cracking up watching "America's Next Top Model." So, I asked Buzz to act out some of my favorite quotations. I think all of these are courtesy of the model "Jael."
