Music Mondays - My Favorite Things

      This is another song I have wanted to do for a while, but always found it so overwhelming and didn't know where to begin. Well I buckled down and got it done, to the best of my abilities at least. I did have to give up and the whole doorbell and schnitzel with noodles lines, because I just couldn't find what I was looking for.

      I had to get a little creative for some of the items mentioned in the song. For those I decided to create some wall art/photos for those.In fact my non-digital mini me decided she wanted to help so she edited one of the pictures on the wall. I won't tell you which one though.

      For the girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes I chose a bride and her flower girl. Over my shoulder you can see my silver white winter melting into spring, at least my take on it, and wild geese with the moon of their wings. I also figured a sled with bells could totally count as sleigh bells, because, well it's my post and I get to say so. Onto the credits, which will be a little different this week.

That Couple

     Here in the States it was Memorial Day weekend this past weekend. You know the day we honor those who, have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, by having parades and cook outs. It inspired me to do a little photo shoot. There is at least one couple in every neighborhood who are so into themselves as a couple that they wear matching outfits and basically ignore anyone else around them. They are usually a younger couple, but the age can range. Here is an example of such a couple.

      As you can see by the way they stare at one another they are soooo in love. They are even ignoring their own child who is sucking on a lemon and near meltdown mode. I myself have never been one of those couple, unless maybe a couples costume at Halloween counts? 

      At least they are a cute couple if I do say so myself. It doesn't hurt that the matchingness was yellow my favorite color. Onto the credits which are stupid long today.

The Burdy Sisters - Raven

Finally we come to Raven, the last of the Burdy triplets, and maybe the most...interesting? You see Raven had obsession with death and dead things. She would even sneak out at night to meet with her unkindness, her flock of ravens.

No one was ever certain whether she had trained the raven to come to her or if they just naturally saw her as their queen of some sort. It did disturb the other people living on the island whenever they would see the ravens circling here. They also feared the ravens themselves for it seemed that anyone who witnessed Raven in the evenings would be found dead within a week. No one believed this to be a mere coincidence.


Due to the deaths that surrounded seeing Raven at night many of the island dwellers made sure to be locked up tight in their homes before the dark of night descended. No one wanted to risk being the next one to be at the wrong end of the Raven Curse.
