Not Wanting to Hurry Time, But How I Want Spring and The Arrival Though Not of Spring

Well today is another dreary wintery day here! While no snow this year & no rain today yet, I know I should count my blessings; but I sure would like spring to truly be here. The other day I was going to take a photo of the first crocus I saw bursting up through the ground while my dog and I were out for a walk when what should I see but a series of bird houses up in the trim on the porch of a house. Now I suppose these were not purely decorative, but also the solution to keeping birds from roosting in the trim;

the result though brings a smile to one's face at least mine! I don't think I ever did take a photo of the crocus, lol! These little miniature houses just made my heart sing!

You might think I was into birdhouses when you see that I have also taken photos of some bird houses at a shopping center, but they were taken one fine spring day awhile ago

I love how these little houses are both a part of my great big world and yet count I think as part of my tiny world too!



On the very day and probably at the very same time I was taking the walk with my dog, my postman (and yes he is a man) was trying to deliver a package at my house. I had hoped the package was coming on this very day (now two days ago) and I waited and waited and waited until I could wait no longer both to arrive at an appointment and take the above walk with my dog who needed it desperately, poor thing.
Well anyway sure enough when I arrived home there was the little orange card saying a package had arrived buried under heaps of junk mail in the hall. With other things to do I knew it would be a few days before I got the package...with long awaited patience, I was ever so glad to open the package today and who arrived?

Yes my new, but old blythe doll Kozy Kape, one of the early bl neo takaras from around 2001-2002; not that old granted, but a doll that is highly coveted in the blythe world. Blythe dolls became quite popular after Gina Garan took their photos in 2000. The takara dolls are not the only blythe dolls as the original kenner girls made by hasbro came out in 1972 and they not only scared the parents, they scared many children too and so not many sold.

These kenner girls are highly coveted too, but I already had 4 kenner girls so it was Kozy I coveted this time.

Now you would think I had enough dolls and I do; but there is one more blythe doll that I would like and it is a brand new girl! You can find her at the link below and her name is Rasberry Sorbet and you can find her photo at blythe news under January 27th, 2011. http://www.blythedoll.com/eng/news

Hmm I actually told a fib, I think I should have said there are two more blythe dolls that I would like as not only would I like the new release called Rasberry Sorbet; but I would also like a girl that came out in 2007 and her name is Hello Harvest. Now I don't actually have a photo of Hello Harvest, but you can find information and a photo of her at blythe news if you look up 'what is blythe' and 2007 with her name under blythe history. Hope this helps if you're curious? or you could go to flickr a photo site and look up Blythe - Hello Harvest and I know you can find a photo there (you can of course always google the name).

All for now the dolls are calling me.
