::: Shop update :::





You can check all the new items right here :)*daydreaming of mushrooms*
When I was a child and was at my grandparents I'd sometimes grab a basket and go colect mushrooms. I wouldn't eat them because I had no clue which ones were in fact edible. But at the end of each mushroom "hunt" I would lay them all in a table and observe their shapes, colors and sizes. Mushrooms are so lovely. Sometimes I would look at beautiful drawings of mushrooms on a book my dad had on nature. One day I hope to learn more about them :)Spring all over

e já lá vão 210 dias desta aventura [mais coisa, menos coisa]

It's been 210 days (more or less) since this grand adventure began.
Much to be learned still, but that's the beauty of it.
Schmily.

a week ago

A week ago my grandparents came to visit and have tea. Grandma and I talked a lot about flowers and plants. I love how she describes her gardening adventures with an almost child-like delight. I've learned a bit from her. Grandpa looked outside, through the window and commented with T "This must look like NY when night falls", because of all the lights... but no, I don't think it looks like NY at all.

from today...
I was sitting on a bench on a break between classes and there was a flock of sheep and goats right in front of me, around me. They seemed totally oblivious to the fact that there was a hideous salmon-colored building behind them. They simply munched away and sometimes stared for a long time at who knows what (sometimes at me). So strange to find them there in the middle of the city, with no sheperd in sight. I couldn't quiet concentrate on my book, it was so lovely just to watch them :)I'd love to have a flock of sheep one day...

Chopin... danças... descoordenação...
Disse-lhes que ía tentar aprender alguns passos de uma mazurka para lhes ensinar, já que Chopin compôs imensas. Ando aqui às voltas no youtube e no google e só de ver alguns videos fiquei com vontade de dançar. Não sou a pessoa mais coordenada do mundo. Sou bastante descordenada. Mas gosto de dançar. Gosto de ver dançar, especialmente as danças tradicionais dos países. Na ESE, em expressão musical aprendemos imensas. Gostava de ter melhor memória para os passos... Porque é que não estive com mais atenção nas aulas do professor Pedro?
Encontrei durante a pesquisa um ensaio sobre a mazurka.
Pay it forward ::: Favores em cadeia

:::green around the house:::
Yesterday I planted in a little tin some mint that Sis brought from her frontyard. {from your frontyard to my windowsill! Thanks!}
The strawberry plant from grandpa is looking so pretty! This morning the sun was hitting it just so and it was perfect. I do hope we get to pick at least one or two strawberries this summer :)Saturday, February 28, 2009
