'My Assistant' ~ over seeing her domain from the deck on Cape Ann MA ~ 
We are both 'winding down' from the week. Raining here today so we may just get a cup 'o tea and read a book and let the world go by. How about you?

  17. I like your 'X' for 'xanthic' word ~ did you mean the yellow, yellowish, lights that showed up in the photo? The Fair Scene looks like a fun place, I could sit on that bench and people watch for a long time. Maybe I could eat my cotton candy while sitting there.

  44. Artmuse Dog is looking really adorable. The children look happy except the bored one in the stroller, I never had a stroller, I liked to be up close and personal and carry them instead. Since I am a biologist I have encountered the word xanthic, I even had a friend in college named Xantha, so we were a trio, Xan, Fran, and Nan.
