It's beautiful, it's fast and it lives with me now!
My "baby" the 125 red vino was loaded into a van and driven off to live in Monterey. :::waves:::
Whee... $4600 toward by NEW baby! I made the call for Ben's bike as he was just to anxious too leave the bike at the dealer any longer. That's when Greg told me they knew where my BIKE was. OMG. It is at an Aprilia storage facility. They are going there on their day off (4th of JULY) to pick up my bike! I had to ask the pressing question that's been plaguing me. "Is the seat cream color or black?" The one I saw online was cream and I fell in love with it. I did not want black, but I would have taken it. He said, " it's CREAM!" Happy dance! So we went down and got HIS new bike and paid for mine. I go in on SATURDAY and get my new sweet ride!
I've been looking at new helmets (and jackets) and am shifting toward the scorpion dahila products.
I wonder if the Magnetic Fields had this guy in mind when they wrote their Zombie Boy song...
Today is Day Five of Operation Baby Bunnies. Andrew took today's photos.
I've been reading and learning a bit about cottontail rabbits. Only 15% of them live more than a year (mostly due to all of the predators). A three year old is considered lucky to still be around. They usually have 2-4 litters each spring/summer. Their development is pretty quick (it has to be if their life expectancy isn't that long). A female can have a litter and then mate the next day!
I'm sure that once the babies are old enough to be out exploring that taking photos will be much harder. And I'm not sure we'll want to be around them too much and have them not be fearful of things they should be. But for now it's fun seeing how they grow and develop.
Today was the first day that we picked up any of the babies. They didn't like being out in the light. They're still small. Their fur is soft and they feel fragile.
from laughing SO HARD.
Thanks Lorelei.
That baby's voice reminds me of another video that had me rolling (LOTR funny voices).
More documentary footage on bee attacks:
last night, inspired without a doubt by miss jen, I dreamed that I was hugely pregnant with twin babies-- they were near full-term-size and moving around inside of a loose sac of skin down the front of me.
in the dream I was also a film-making movie heroine, driving cars into and being rescued out of red lakes and pedalling kinetic sculptures along sunset ridges.
the dream and I both were vivid, epic, and complexly textured.
Stopped by Trader Joe's yesterday morning to do a little grocery shopping and wound up buying myself some flowers. Seriously, how could I pass up a bunch of sea spray roses for $3.99. And the orchid, $12.99!!! <-- yeah, I'm that excited. I'd been eyeballing the selection at Joe's for a while...ever since the store opened over a year ago, actually. But none of them spoke to me like this one.
The ride home was glorious!
