Last of the Truffula Trees

I'm standing in front of the last healthy tree growing on the property we rent.
Tiny isn't it?
Last week a big tree in the front yard was struck by lightning and crash, gone.
All the rest of the greenery has been carried off weekly by the new landlord in preparation for house demolition on April 28.
I'm the only bit of colour around here today.

Ooh do I detect a mojo-return?  Why yes I believe I do!
Hugs,
Desiree xo

  3. Hooray for returning mojo, and I hope that house-hunting is progressing fruitfully.
    Brilliant, brilliant hair. You are always an inspiring feast of colour and combination, but your new-look, 20s style is the top floor of 'wow'. Stunning.

  7. How appropriate that you have Alice on your tee because it sounds like you're have some Adventures! I adore your bobbed hair. Cute as a button!

  8. If my mojo ever returns, I hope it shines even a tenth as bright as yours. The kitteh pic is so loving, and that bag is perfect-o. I think of you as an artist, with an uncanny ability to use very different pieces to create a beautifully original work of art.

  16. A mojo return? I never realized it had run away. But I welcome it back with wide open arms. Even if someone tried, they could never ever approach the cool factor you've got. You're just a jolt of freedom and colour and expression. Love your hair. Neon orange kangaroos. Hugs.

  22. You are really rocking that fringe my dear. Looking gorjuss as always. I LOVE that bag, cool AND kitsch! And the wee bed jacket is so pretty. Hope you & the Phoenix get some sleep over the weekend without the horrifying noise next door. Xx

  27. Glad to hear your mojo is returning Desiree, I always look forward to your posts, plus hopefully it's a sign you're feeling in high spirits! xx

  28. No bloody way. I was just going to write 'Hurrah for the return of the mojo' and I see that Vix has written those exact words. I don't know what is going on.

    So instead, Desiree, Hooray for the return of the mojo!! :)

    But what is all this about the trees? Desolation. Are you being evicted from your beautiful colourful home? Oh, before I forget, I love your quirky outfit with your Alice t-shirt, heart shaped sunnies and kangaroo bag. Superb comeback! xxxxx

  29. Oh Desiree, fingers crossed the mojo is here to stay. I've missed your shiny rainbow self.

    I remember you said you were looking for a new place to live, but I didn't realize you were being evicted. So sorry - I went through that myself a couple of years ago after being in the same place for 20 years.
