Just five more minutes, pleeeeaaase!

My best friend Cale has been showing me a sim today, that would be great for pictures with lots of grass, called Venice Isle. So I was walking around and playing with the animals standing around and then I saw this Barn and could not stop laughing. There was a cow, eating cookies and watching TV. I so had to make a picture with that.

So I tped back to the Wear Gray sim – you remember my earlier from from today about it – and grabbed some things and mixed and matched by hook or by crook and had tons of fun with it to put together this little gem.

(Please click on the pic for a bigger view – the layout is not wide enough for a bigger pic here *G*)
Thanks to Betsy – that is how I lovingly called the cow – I did not have to watch TV alone and she even gave me one of her cookies, isn’t that nice? So pleeeeease, just 5 more minutes…

Night Owl (aka Oldies but Goodies Blog Challenge)

Since I was a little girl I was a night owl. I always was more active at night and had big trouble to get out in the morning and during the day I was not really productive. But as soon as it got dark outside it was as if I came to life. No wonder I am doing this blogpost at 1:30 in the night, right? *laughs*

When Alysha Rennahan had the idea of weekly blogger challenges I liked the idea and thought that I might take a couple of them with me on the way. This week the theme is “Oldies but Goodies” and we have to use items that are one year old or older. After I recently cleaned out my inventory that was not as easy as I thought, BUT I found something that is the reason I told you about my not so secret life as night-owl.

Most of the shops from where I got the items are still in business, they might even still have those items, but I can tell you that I got them ages ago *grins* The hair I got in a hunt of the hair shop “Curl up and Dye” when it still was called “Inari”. The outfit is from Barerose. The skin is the skin I have been wearing 3 years without changing it once – apart from costumes for parties that brought their own shapes – and comes from the closed down shop by Max and the eyes are those I made shortly after I started SL. As soon as I had 10 Lindens I used them to get those eyes uploaded and they are still my eyes because i love them so very much – Same with the shape btw. It is the same I made myself years ago, only slight numbers changed over the time until it looked like now.

What did I use and where can you get it, if your’re lucky?
Shape: Mine

Down by the Sally Gardens

“It was down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet.
She crossed the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take life easy, as the leaves grow on the tree,
But I was young and foolish, and with her did not agree.

In a field down by the river, my love and I did stand
And on my leaning shoulder, she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy , as the grass grows on the weirs
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.”

Wandering through this beautiful colorful garden brought up the memories of this beautiful old Irish song. I knew I will need to make pictures there very soon but did not find the mood for it until now.

Yesterday after fighting with the Linden-Gods for an hour to get into the Sim, i finally got in and actually wanted to grab a special I missed from elymode. But while I was there I found more that I just needed and while playing around with it at home I heard this song again my head (yes I hear stuff that is not there – shush it lol) and with a smile on my lips I knew where to go.

This place is called Frog’s garden and it is just wonderful, filled with so many different plants, also my favorites: Sunflowers. I really want to move in here, right there at this patch of grass where the sun meets the green and the wind carries over the scent of flowers from all over the garden.

Of course I do not want to deprive you of a closer look to this lovely skin and eyes, so here is a close-up for you
