    Okay… I took some advice…

    From… Aloysius Son

    and used a different photo editor

    This is what I came up with.

    What do you think?

    Which one? Or neither?

    I was upset because I loved this one…

    but I wasn’t paying attention… I should have allowed more for the back lighting

    even though the sun was off to the side…

    So playing with my photo editor… let me know what you think…

    Is it salvageable?

    • Finish cement work
    • play… I mean work.
    • Clean, clean,clean.
    • nap

    Post Secret is one of my guilty pleasure sites.

    This was his post today and since I have nothing of my own I thought I would share it.

     

  • Went to the fair.

    I had a great blog all written in my head…

    all about my childhood memories and blah, blah, blah…

    But…

     after we got home from the fair I went to the glass company to work.

    Learning all of this new stuff is exhausting, fun,but exhausting.

    Now I’m too tired to be creative… so you get pictures… live with it.

    chicken butt.jpg Northwestern Michigan Fair 132

    We saw chicken butts and pig butts.

    We saw all kinds of butts,

    well groomed butts,

    totally disgusting butts…

    I think I need to move past the butts.

    I’m going to bed.

  • For those of you who are BOYDCREEK fans… like I am. Don’t be alarmed!

    He will be missing in action this weekend due to minor computer difficulties and will return to his regularly scheduled  posts on Monday evening with any luck.

    Until them I’m sure he will be out soaking up the rays and sniffing the grass…

    of the GOLF COURSE!!! Come on you guys… you knew I was going to say that!

    Now we return to what your all here for,  ME! ME! ME!

     The kids and I took a drive this morning along the route I used to bike almost everyday when I was younger. Well when it wasn’t winter… I’m a little cockoo… not insane!

    I finally took my perfect hay field picture.

    More barns… of course.

    out and about 029.jpg

    I have about ten others too… but I’ll save those for another day.

    holy sunflowers batman!.jpg

    These are what I wanted to show you.

    I wish I could capture the way I SEE them but I just can’t quite get it. 

    The huge fields are amazing…

    Standing in them is an experience like none other. The buzzing is so loud.

    Bees surround you…

    but none of them are even paying attention to you, they are all intent on their work.
    It is incredible.

    We also went on a turtle hunt.

    Those are for another day too.

    Be safe!

  • NOT AGAIN!!

    Catching up…

    For Harbor Days my Aunt had a picnic on the beach.

    When I think picnic… I think lawn chairs and blankets.

    She thinks tables, pillows to lay on, spare sun hats, shrimp shishkabobs, cabanas…

    Well look for yourself.

    We left a little early because Coop was driving Ben and I a little crazy.

    It’s odd, if he doesn’t get a nap he won’t stop, he keeps going and going and going…

    loveof mylife.jpg

    Anyway we swam in the river.

    There’s my gorgeous man… It isn’t only octogenarians he makes swoon.

    Harbor days 2 004.jpg

     On the way there I took two minutes to snap a couple of pictures…

    guess what…

    Oh come on…

    YUP! You got it barns…
    Are you sick of me yet?

    sunflower barn.jpg

    Okay which do you think works?

    Harbor days 2 006.jpg

    I’m not sure I’m terribly happy with either and may go for a little drive tomorrow.

    I wish I could show you all the fields of sunflowers they are so gorgeous!

    I’ll see what I can do.

    ******************EDIT*************************

    It has been brought to my attention that the first comment sounded like complaining!
    Are you kidding?!

    My Aunt C has Class in spades…

    and I LOVE her parties… the things she thinks of AMAZE me…

    that’s all.

    It felt like a picinic out of a magazine.

    If you want to see incredible though you should see the Christmas party.
    She has like five Christmas trees… all gorgeous.

    Let;s just say she goes above and beyond and it’s always lucky to get an invite…

    NO COMPLAINTS HERE!

  • Scratching head and wondering…

    Cement tinting and hole filling… not going well… and not looking anything like I intended it too… Hmmm…

    *************************EDIT********************************

    I think I’ve figured out how I can fix it to make it look more like I want it too… Now I need to go buy some more cement. *sigh*

  •  I have some competition. A woman named Dorothy was hitting on my man! Apparently she was following him with her eyes and telling anyone who would listen how good looking he is. Finally he said he succumbed to her flirtatious behavior and said hello.

    I wonder if I should be concerned… he was very flattered and spoke fondly of her…

    I’ll have to ask the nurses to keep an eye on her…if she starts grabbing his butt I’ll have to sabotage her walker… eighty year old woman can get feisty… I’m not going to underestimate her!
