I had a great time today at the Annual Pairing event at the local Yarmouth Museum. This was my second time participating. This year, in honor of the 250th birthday of Yarmouth, we choose artifacts from the Yarmouth Musuem for our subject. there were many interesting things to choose from. Shirley Hatfield and myself choose a beautiful recreation of a dress made from Oriental fabric. The dress also has a journal from the Captain of the vessel which brought it to Yarmouth and can be viewed at the Museum.
It was very nice to have a large gathering to view the many paintings of local artists and lisiten to the poetry and short stories from our Write-away group. The exhibit will be available for viewing till July 30th ♥
Silken Blossoms
by Beverly Pinkney
Tenderly he took her by a small hand
moving with the crimson gold of the silk’s soft swish.
To the dance floor they went as others panned
giving themselves up tto the music's bliss.
Her Captain moved her into the dance.
One long year she'ld awaited his ship's return
the garment she had worn by chance,
came from the Orient was quickly discerned.
Her red and gold cherry blossom dress
swayed softly to the walz that filled the Hall's air.
So sadly, his kindness and love she had missed
from World's apart: together again now they could share.
For the story of the silk blossoms told
of adventures and many happy times of Old.

May 2011 Up-date
Its May 20th already...we're had almost 2 weeks of rain and only 2 chances to mow grass...thankfully I was able to both times! Everything is nice and green but my seeds I've planted have gone moldy mostly. Those plants transplanted into the garden are doing great though so not a total loss at gardening yet ☼ My newest grand daughter, Payton, was born May 11th at 8lbs 11ozs. A beautiful girl with a smile yet like mommie Tiffany had as a baby ♥
I've added to my collection of healing stones this month.
I was able to get out to the beach off port Maitland at the first of the month and luckly to find a beautiful White Quartz geode which weights about 10 lbs! Forutnately also I was able to carry it the 20 minutes back to my car...THANK YOU UNIVERSE ; )
I also aquire a Celestite geode to add to my collection of healing stones from a local seller's on-line store named The Purple Vortex. Its a beautiful stone which has many healing qualities.
quote-"Its known to expand creativity and the expression of such through initiating ease of communication with the higher realms, Celestite has often been used by those in the arts. It is believed that the stone decreased negativity by putting an end to stress, anxiety, worry and fear, while helping to put a focus on the spiritual, thus attracting goodness and purity. It has been known to accelerate spiritual development, stimulate clairvoyant communication, aid in dream recall and astral travel, and to bring one a general sense of peace."
I've also just finished a poem titled 'Silken Blossoms' for the June 4th pairing exhibit at the Yarmouth Museum. Hoping local friends can come out and enjoy all the lovely work of local artist and poets.

News on Ferry Service...
March 22, 2011
McNeil Commits to Re-establishing a Yarmouth - US Ferry Service
(Halifax, NS) Liberal leader Stephen McNeil told the audience at the Yarmouth and Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon today that a Liberal government would commit a financial investment to an international ferry link between Yarmouth and New England.
"There is no question the decision to abruptly end the subsidy for the ferry was short sighted and has had, and will continue to have, a negative impact on southwestern Nova Scotia and beyond," McNeil said during his speech. "This ferry has proven to be a critical transportation and economic link for all of Nova Scotia."
"Let me be clear. Our caucus and our party want to return an international ferry service to Yarmouth - a Liberal government would commit to an investment for a viable ferry operation."
While the Liberal leader intends to push the Federal government to provide matching funds, he said he would also ensure that a process was in place for all stakeholders to be involved in the approval and selection of a ferry.
"The people in communities across Nova Scotia know what conditions they need to create growth and jobs," said McNeil. "The people in southwestern Nova Scotia know that a ferry link is crucial to those conditions."

...still here...
I realized today itrs been a week sense I posted in my journal. Lots happening with moving, ferry service debate, Yarmouth SPCA Vanguard paper article comments, Japan's disaster,ect. Have not seen anymore of James (trylen) sense I told him off last Thursday which is good. I really don't want to.I'm hoping he was home for a visit and returning to misery ( Missouri) to be with his soul- mate... : Q
Getting ready to move has been a struggle. so much to pack, my daughter can't help much as her pregnancy has her limited in physical efforts. I collected my antique furniture from my old companion Austin on the weekend. he's had it for 2 years so was happy I finally got it ( a letter from a lawyer was necessary of course). Im hoping to be into the house by Monday. Calling to have the phone disconnected today so I won't have internet for a week probably.

My comments to this article...
March 9, 2011 at 08:40:07 To think the shelter parntners with those trying to help the over population by helping rescuers is false. I recently (September 2010) rescued a feral mother cat who, of course, produced 4 kittens with in days. I raised these cats on my own after the local shelter refused to except them because they 'could' have feline leukimia. Last week I approached a board member to request a cat carrier to take 2 kittens to the vet to be altered and was refused. I had already had mommie fixed in January and a male fixed in february. i did not request any financal support from that shelter. I know for a fact they regularly loan our equipment . Why then was I refused? No answers will ever be given me except that i critizied their no kill policy( they still euthanize regularly at the shelter) and I removed a group from facebook that I created when they demanded I either give it to the or delete it. I deleted it. Why? Because after 13 years of working at the shelter they told me when I left their employment I was no longer allowed to volunteer because staff were 'talking about me'. So thank YOU, Yarmouth SPCA. I gave my best to the animals there.I loved them and often took them home because I couldn't kill them for you. I gave my free time them. I cared 24/7 for them and was on call even when I was off sick. i will never give a dime now to help YOU. I WILL help other rescues because they do care for the PEOPLE who help them, not just the animals.
