Moss Illumination...Irish Style

When ones Irish Moss is all aglow, one stops everything one is doing and takes note, and then also takes a veritable slew of images that one must then add to the already enormous image file that one is piling up in the hopes of producing a post in the very near future.

One decides that the illuminated Moss will make a wonderful foray back into the land of blog, which one has been trying to enter for the past two weeks to no avail.

What with the third camp prepped for and started (but not the fourth!), guests visiting, a trip to plan for (Gitzi's having another surgery), two mediation's about the house finally tucked under our belts (this was a HUGE one!)...not to mention the Olympics, which have kept us up into the wee hours and muddled our morning brains a bit (so worth it though!)...it has been a touch difficult to find the time to sit in front of the computer and produce a *brilliant* post!

Actually, it is the next conservatory post that one has diligently been trying to accomplish, but one took way too many pictures, and one must now sift through and fiddle with them all to of course, present the most stunning of the bunch. I really must learn to reign in the click-click of the camera!

But now, due to being completely enraptured by the sun kissed Moss...the conservatory post will have to await another day and I will instead, share these lovely images with you in the hopes that you too will find the Moss just as 'stop you in your tracks pretty' as I have.

When walking past the Moss first thing the next morning...it somehow looked especially fresh and green to me after the previous nights incandescent performance.

It's little tiny little arms seemed to be stretching after a wonderful nights sleep...and the sweet little white flower buds at it's fingertips seemed ready to pop open for business!

Hopefully our weather will permit such glowing occurrences to happen more frequently (we've had such a cloudy summer) since Miss. Moss liked basking in the sinking sun so much...it obviously made her (and I) very happy!

Normally, Irish Moss is grown out of doors, but due to the Conservatory state of mind I've been in lately, I've found myself experimenting in the world of Botany, and have had a few great successes and some very pleasing surprises, such as this happy & fluffy Moss! I think finding her all lit up though has been by far...the best surprise of all.

There was a bit of a learning curve here mind you...she doesn't like wet feet, but she does likes somewhat damp hair, and oh yes...she very much likes sunsets!

So here's wishing you all a delightfully glowing, and thoroughly motivating surpirse, in your very, very near future!
