Morning Glory!


I took these pictures a couple mornings ago at the house in Asheville. The centers look like they are glowing almost. No wonder they are called Morning Glory...these are some of my favorite flowers!

I Can Feed Myself, Mom!

Kolbie eating yogurt all by herself!
The shirt was removed before further mauling...the spoon actually did make it to the mouth a few times!
But a spoon is an awfully roundabout way of eating...haha!

Saturday at the Park

A Midsummer Night's Dream

We went to see A Midsummer Night's Dream put on by the Montford Park Players in Asheville. It was so good, we went back again this Friday and got some pictures!
Hermia's father wants her to marry Demetrius (in red), but she loves Lysander (in orange).
Hermia and Lysander make a plan to run away at night and leave Athens so they can marry.
The couple tells Helena (who loves Demetrius) of their plans...
The actors plan a play for Theseus and Hippolyta's wedding day.

Cupid's Flower

Oberon witnesses Helena's pleas for Demtrius' love.
He sends Puck to use the flower on the sleeping eyes of Demetrius, just as he will use it on Titania. The effect will be that the one who is touched by it will love the first creature they see upon waking.
Oberon applies the flower to the eyes of Titania...
But Puck mistakenly applies the flower to Lysander, instead of Demetrius.

Confusion!

Helena finds Lysander sleeping in the woods and when he wakes, he finds her irresistable.
But she thinks he is playing a joke on her, and reminds him that Hermia is his love!
Meanwhile, Puck plays a trick on one of the actors...
And Titania sees him first upon waking and dotes on him, even having her fairies attend him.
Fortunately, through the efforts of Oberon and Puck, all is put to rights by the end and each couple ends up as intended: Hermia with Lysander, Helena with Demetrius, and Titania with Oberon.

The Actors Put on Their Play

Theseus and his new bride choose the play they want to see.
"Pyramus" and "Thisbe" talk through a chink in the wall, discussing their plans to meet at night.
Upon coming to the meeting place and finding Thisbe's bloody mantle, Pyramus assumes she has been killed by a lion, and uses his sword on himself...
Theseus tells the actors their performance was..."notable"
