Why are lilies so short lived. Well not the plants, I mean the flowers.
They are so pretty when they are blooming. Especially if you have a good clump of lilies growing in your garden, yet the blooms only last for a week or two depending on the weather. Then they are done until the following year.
I wish, like some day lilies, that they would bloom two or three times in a season.
Do you grow lilies?
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.
This is the coldest night in months! Last week we had a heat wave and temperatures were getting into the 40 Celsius (104 F) range with the humidity and now it’s gotten very cool outside.
Actually the last couple of days have been pleasant with temperatures in the low 20’s (68 F to 75 F), but yesterday evening exactly at the same time my husband got home from work a huge storm came up and it cooled everything off dramatically. I mean trees blown over and all!
During and after the storm the temperature dropped. By 11 pm it was only 12 Celsius (53 F) and now, at 3:30 am it’s 11 Celsius (52 F). That’s cold! It’s making me think of winter and it’s far too early to think of winter! It has reminded me that I need a new winter coat though. Perhaps I’ll get a nice warm North Face jacket? One that can stand up to our cold Canadian winters and strong icy cold winds.
It looks like it will be cool most nights over the next week. I think I might have to think about bringing some of the tropical plants that I’ve placed in my garden into the enclosed back porch at night too.
Ahhh I hate the thought of cool weather coming. I haven’t had enough summer yet. It can’t be almost over … can it?
