Heh...you have no idea how many times I've started posting this, only to be dragged off in some other direction or manage to distract myself.

I've been breaking up the weeding and general digging and lifting of things with reading manga or watching anime.

The anime is Wagaya no oinari sama (Our Homes' Fox Deity) on Youtube. I picked at random a big anime poster calendar that features this series because it had such cute illustrations. I also have a number of furoku that Xan sent me from her 2008 trip to Japan featuring this character and finally I looked it up and have been enjoying it when my brain has been too whacked from sunshine and labor to do much more than absorb fluffy comedy. :3

Volumes 8 & 9 of my current fav shojo series, High School Debut arrived and I've been all awibble about the storyline. For a light shojo, and a high school romance yarn at that, it's very well done. Realistic storyline without being uber dramatic. No crazy plot devices or over the top scenarios ~ just a story of young people trying to find their way through love and all it's emotional ups and downs from both the female AND male perspectives. You want them to succeed and you cry and laugh and most importantly....you understand EXACTLY what they are going through and become their biggest cheerleaders. Good stuff that. My copies are all well thumbed. I've read each volume at least 3 times...some many more.

I've been savouring the recently published Sookie Stackhouse series volume (9), Dead and Gone. There won't be another volume for quite a while (assuming this isn't the last) so I'm not devouring this in one sitting....just taking it easy and soaking it up with a silly smile plastered on my face.

The weather has been nice so I've also taken some time to photograph a few of the dolls between domestic/yard duties ~ and thought I should show off Willow a bit. I have been forcing myself to take more artsy plant shots too ~ which I'll scatter about here when I get the chance to pull them off the camera....and assuming I got something in focus :3



You'll have to excuse me but I can't help but gush about her. She is without a doubt my favorite resin *^__^*...too cute!
