I would like to hear from everyone who follows this blog with a description of what is on your kitchen window sill. When I stood washing yesterdays dishes this morning (rough day, Saturday!) I thought it would be interesting to see if you are a treasure hoarder or a dish liquid/Brillo kind of person. I am a treasure hoarder which is not always aesthetically pleasing especially if you have children. A friend of mine who never had children was over recently and asked me why I was collecting wasp nests. I told her they were treasures. Blank stare. Treasures from the boy. Okay... Wasp nests, broken snail shells, razor clam shells from the Atlantic ocean plunked in my moms vintage celery plate that she loved. Three crystals from an old chandelier purchased at the Hospice Thrift Store ( a paradise among thrift stores), a rusted lantern, sprouting potato eye in a crystal dish from the boy from Christmas, and 4 tiny clay pots on a clay saucer. A Morning Glory seed experiment. Weed flowers from the girls come and go but are always placed in a spot of honor where I can appreciate them. So what's on your ledge?

Aw man, I can't participate. I don't have a window in my kitchen. :(
Any ledge will do. What's on your bedroom ledge?
An empty 'plug in' air freshener~ red-white-blue raggedy ann angel doll~ a wooden angel and a very small, strange, plastic wolf type toy who looks like a warrior?! And dust : )
Tee Hee how lovely, Diane! Maybe you should put Jeremy up there as well.
Two cat blankies, purple basil, dead chives, half-dead parsley, potential basil baby plants, one small pot of dirt that was supposed to be chives but never took off, and a pot of catgrass to tempt Dex and Edward into leaving the other stuff alone.
Ok, in the window in my room (no kitchen window either) there are nine boxes of various sizes and ages. 4 from Ezra, 2 from Tim, 2 from you and 1 from Thomas. Most are empty but one has a cat whisker and two have handmade wood blocks... another has earrings with no matches. Also, there are thirteen rocks :)
