I didn’t plant a single snap dragon this year yet I have them all over the garden and in my potted hanging baskets. They must have seeded themselves quite well last year!
Several colors came up this year – white, yellow, an orangish red, red, and this lovely pink colored snapdragon. Isn’t this a pretty color?
Do you grow snapdragons? If so, do yours regularly reseed themselves?
Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.
I’ve always enjoyed dancing, but I can’t say that I’ve done much dancing over the last few years. Oh sure when I attend a wedding or go to a party I’ll often be on the dance floor at least half the time. I kind of miss not dancing as much as I used to in the past.
Do you enjoy dancing? Or do you have two left feet?
If you’d like to try something different you might want to visit the Salsa BootCamp website. You can learn Salsa, Merengue, Cha-cha, and Bachata dance through their online course. Actually the site has really taken off. They apparently only opened up a few months ago to those who had signed up pre-launch and they’ve only just opened their doors to accept new students.
It seems like it’s a good dance course. There’s thousands of videos online that members can watch in order to learn all the the steps as they learn to Dance with Salsa Dancing BootCamp. The dance courses range from basic lessons to advanced dance steps.
I like the idea of learning new dance steps on your own time in the privacy of your home. I’m sure some people don’t sign up for dancing lessons at dance studios because they are too shy or perhaps might be embarrassed that they don’t know how to dance. The Salsa, Merengue & Bachata Dance Bootcamp would be perfect for those who lack confidence and want to become acquainted with some of the dance moves before going out to dance in public.
I would imagine people with busy lifestyles and children to care for might also like the idea of learning how to Salsa or Merengue through an online course rather than at a set time each and every week.
If the Salsa Bootcamp sounds like a great idea to you why don’t you visit the site. You can sign up for a free three day membership in order to check out the site and begin some lessons. You’ll also get two free DVDs just for signing up!
During the summer I taped America’s Got Talent and I’m down to the last two shows. Well, I just watched the second last show this evening.
I’m so impressed by that Cas Haley. Shhhh I still don’t know if he won or not as I’ve got one more show to go ..
He plays so much like my husband Chris it’s uncanny. Chris doesn’t do as much reggae as Cas does, but the playing style is very similar. Even the guitars that Cas Haley plays are the same as my husbands!
Hmm maybe the next time there’s a Canadian music talent show or an international one (Rock Star come back!) I’ll encourage Chris to try out.
My neighbors have gotta go.
I didn’t have a good night so I was having a nap on the couch when I was rudely awoken to the sound of very loud guitar. Even my husband doesn’t play any of his six guitars that loud!
It sounded like they were in my living room.
I think they think that whenever our car isn’t in the driveway we aren’t home so they do whatever the heck they want. You see my husband went out of town for a party today … but there is a car in our driveway … our other neighbors son took advantage of our car being gone so he parked in the single car only driveway we share with our elderly neighbor. Of course his tires are on our lawn! His car is too big for the tiny driveway. At least he doesn’t seem to have hit the house this time!
Ah neighbors on both sides are driving me nuts today.
Engaged? Married? I bet you have a beautiful ring, don’t you? What about your other hand? Do you wear rings on both hands or do you mostly only wear your friendship, engagement or wedding rings on your left and leave the right unadorned?
As a former jeweller I’d run across people that didn’t believe that they could wear diamonds or fancy gemstones on their right hand. Especially if they weren’t engaged or married. It was as if they feared that if they bought a diamond ring they’d have to wear it on their left ring finger and they couldn’t do that as men would think they were engaged and they’d lose their chance of meeting Mr. Right. I’d explain to them that there were no rules against wearing a ring on their right hand.
Abazias Diamonds has a beautiful assortment of right-hand rings. Their selection includes delicate diamond rings, such as the one to the right, and rings with sapphires, emeralds, amethyst, garnet, rubies or a mix of diamond and gemstone in styles from delicate to bold.
For most designs you can choose between yellow or white gold. You can also choose from pave diamond settings, bezel set stones and more depending upon the style of ring that catches your eye.
I’ve always been partial to sapphire rings myself, probably because the sapphire is my birthstone. I’d be happy to wear a sapphire ring such as the one I’ve included to the left on my right hand. It’s beautiful isn’t it?
Isn’t it time you dressed up your bare right ring finger?
