Day 94 {Entertainment on many different levels}
The girls and I went and saw Legally Blonde the Musical this afternoon. Wow! Such a fantastic show.
A few minutes after we left the theater we were walking through downtown towards the parking lot when I noticed that the huge plate glass window on the building we were next to was wobbling. Then I looked ahead of me and could see that the street lights were swaying like crazy.
It only took a second for it to register that we were having an earthquake!!!
As a native southern Californian I have experienced A LOT of earthquakes and for the most part they really don't scare me. I brag to my east coast friends that earthquakes don't scare me.
I am going to change my statement: Earthquakes are scary when you are surrounded by high rise buildings.
Day 93 {Strange place for a nursery}
We had our Easter brunch a day early over at my dad's. It was such a beautiful day that we ate outside on the patio. Every spring there is a mourning dove nesting in this flowering catcus that my dad has hanging on the patio. I thought it was kind of funny that it's head was just under a weed.
Day 92 {Sprucing things up a bit}
The walls in my living and dining room are a camel color. The color in the back of this nook was brown (something I painted eons ago). It looked so drab that on a whim I grabbed a bottle of turquoise craft painted and changed it. I love the results!

Umm yeah that would scare the hizzle out of me too, glad it was just a mild one it sounds like!!!
That bird picture is great! Love the paint color too!
A friend who is visiting Los Angeles from OH this week called today to tell me about the earthquake!
Duh ~ I didn't readily notice that was a real bird and that it was nesting in real plant. :) Great shot!
Enjoying all your photos!
I am new to your blog and love your photos! This one is especially eye-catching, because I love the colors AND I just finished reading The Help today and loved it! Have you read it?
an earthquake! wow. i was wanting to visit California this summer, but you are scaring me! lol.
great photos! i don't know how you do it. the photos, the editing, the scrapbooking, crafting, wow, what else can you do?
Some people here claim they felt the quake. I must have stumbled about the same time because I didn't even know about it until my daughter (a commenter above) mentioned it to me.
The weed acts as a sun umbrella for the dove. Like the turquoise background.
