Eye Candy Friday

April 30, 2010 By Carole

pink tulip resized for blog

Another pink tulip. I love the green background, it speaks to my preppy side. This weekend is our annual Civil War event. The weather promises to be beautiful. I will be busy today baking pies, cookies and muffins. Tomorrow I will sit around in 19th century clothing, knitting and spinning. Good times.

Hope you have an exciting weekend!

    With vodka, olives and martini glasses hidden in the trunk? Have a great weekend! Sounds like fun.

    Tulips are so beautiful.
    We have snow today so it’s nice to hear you’ll have good weather.

    It sounds like you have a lot of work ahead of you, but it also sounds like a lot of fun. Sure wish we had such history enthusiasts here. Every once in a while I stumble on a few guys in armor fighting with broadswords in a nearby park. Not the same thing – yeah know!? 😉

    Can people go watch these historical event/reenactments? I think my boyfriend and I would both really enjoy that!

    Beautiful Tulip! Mine are finally starting to show some color.

    I used to participate in A LOT of SCA events. Great fun.

    Have a super fantastic weekend and remember your sunscreen!

    I love a pink tulip.

    The question is, can you use your 21st Century Addi’s, or are you limited to period-appropriate equipment?

    Huh. So if my husband and son had carried through with their idea (in about 1995) of being Civil War reenactors, I would be spinning by now?

    Have a great time! I know you will 🙂

    Love the tulips! Even if I can’t grow them to save my life. Happy reenacting!

    Oh, have fun this weekend! I so remember the preppy stuff. Some of what I wore in the 80s was really ugly. 🙂

    Lovely tulip! Hope you’re having lots of fun today – if I were closer I’d be stealing a camp dress and keeping you company! ;o)

    p.s. does this mean you’re going to be able to make it to Cummington this year?

If there’s anything I’ve learned in my 55 years, it’s that facing forward is the best way to live. All the things in life, good or bad, can be resolved this way, our problems only multiple if we try to skirt around them. True satisfaction comes from looking life right in the eye, doing your best, and finding the joy. #aepiecesofus #thisismyface #faceforward
