My poor yard is so dead. August 2010 is the driest month on record for all of Indiana’s history and my yard is good and dead as proof.

I went moss hunting today. Since moss grows in medium light areas I just went to the far corners of the yard and looked at the feet of taller plants. Viola, there it was! I gathered moss, gathered a few small wild growing plants and began my tiny terrarium. As soon as the sun comes up I’ll try to get some shots of them. I did four in hopes that at least one would live. The lighting in here is terrible for photos so I’ll have to take them outside and photograph them, otherwise I’d have to fiddle with the photo more than I want to.
Here’s a shot of the plants in my little kitchenette.
I got a beautiful box in the mail with some of the sweetest little duck stuff in it. One thing included in the box was a t-shirt that says “Popduck.” Of course I swooned over it because its red and has a little duck on it. When I looked at the size I realized there was no way my body would fit in it so I sat back and thought to myself, what can I do with this shirt? Ah, I’ve got it, I need a laundry bag. So to my sewing box I went. I grabbed a needle and red thread and began to sew the arms shut. I then trimmed the extra sleeve off and sewed up the bottom. After that I added draw strings to the neckline of the t-shirt and added a blue bow to the ducks head. This is how the t-shirt laundry bag turned out.
I think it’s adorable. (insert happy clap)
Oh, and, yes, I was triflin enough to fill it with laundry then take a photo. It is, after all, a laundry bag.
I just had to show off my new laundry bag and my new artwork. Go see, go see! What are you waiting for? Why are you still here? I finished this one today.

The other day at the Disabled American Veteran’s discount store I realized Mousy wasn’t in my pocket. I freaked! I went around the store looking for him but I couldn’t find him. All these thoughts went through my head. What if someone tries to buy him? What if I have to take my bear from the arms of a toddler. I’ll do it!
I frantically went to the front of the store to tell my friend who is also a cashier there that I couldn’t find the Mouse. My frantic six year old said to me, “I want this motherfucker on lock down.” Not only was I stunned she said it I had to correct her language and explain to her that they wouldn’t announce a Code Adam for a teddy bear. Amber Alert’s don’t apply to plush.
I went up to my friend with eyes as big as saucers and tried to explain what I was looking for. I realized I was just babbling. I couldn’t get real words out of my mouth. I couldn’t get out a description of the bear or his red scarf. All I could say was “gone. he’s gone.” I was totally freaked out then a lady came up to me and told me she found him on the floor by the toy isle.
