  • Some of what I saw… (with BETH!)

    Today was a be a bum day…

    We went thrift store shopping.  I bought a used couch, cheap! They threw in the cat hair for free!

    Then I took Beth to the old State Hospital…

    Door state hospital

    Tomorrow it is off to Mackinac with us!

    It’s going to be a good day…

    Have you ever been to Mackinac Island? Or heard of it?

  • ~WELL~

    That’s one way to get a post!

  • Some of what I saw…

     Poppy field

    I see poppies everywhere and I wish I had some…

    Maybe next summer.

    Cooper splash

    I saw Cooper enjoying the water at Lake Bellaire.

    By July maybe it will be warm enough to swim in. *sigh*

    dandilion gathering

    I saw lots of dandelions and couldn’t decide which to focus on so I thought I’d try something different…

    I don’t think I’ll do it again… at least not on purpose!

    I saw my daughter driving me nuts and trying to ruin my shot…

    or DID she?

    sparkly daisies

    I saw these beautiful daisies all sparkly with dew…

    but I couldn’t get the sparkles to show!

    I don’t know what it is but my whites are always washed out and overexposed…

    I am going to beg my brilliant brother in law for help on how to fix this when we go to Detroit next weekend.

    Something I haven’t seen in a year, but am seeing soon is SEEDSOWER!

    She called to say she is on the road and headed this way. I can’t wait!

    I am sure you are going to be sick of seeing what I saw because we are going to do so much!

    NOW… Tell me what have you seen???

     

  • Beth is heading this way tomorrow!

    Can I get a WOOT!

  • Twice today Cooper has walked into a room where I was sitting, gave a great big sigh and said…

    “I give up on love.”

    Poor boy, if he’s giving up at four it’s going to be a LOOOOOONG hard life!

    J and C

    (Cooper observing his Uncle Jon giving a little love. Congratulations on graduating Jon!)

     

    Have you ever given up on love????

  • I can’t stand it!

    I just have too!

    It’s funny, every clever bone in my body has flown the coop!

    What can I do? I’ve got to put something up, it’s eating at me.

    I’m putting up the Upsides Down Lens series I did last summer!

    They’re  all CIRCLES… so they kinda count.

  • FROG HUNT SUCCESS AND CIRCLE LINKS!

    Yesterday we went frog hunting.

    Something we do every spring and summer.

    neon slime

    The pond was full of wonderful things as usual.

    Charlie and Isabelle scoured the reeds and neon slime for the elusive leopard frogs and green frogs.

    mighty frog hunter

    Charlie caught this big old green frog and  two tiny leopard frogs.

    We kept the two small frogs for our water garden…

    They eat the mosquitos that land on the surface, at least that’s how it’s supposed to work.

    We released the green frog because he was too big for our little space, but then…

    Isabelle caught him again. He must have wanted to go home with us…

    That or he wanted a kiss.

    We also saw two big northern water snakes, Charlie wasn’t happy that I wouldn’t let him catch them.

    It was especially good because I found a CIRCLE!

    SEE! A couple of them

    That is a good way to lead into LINKS for other peoples circles…

  • Off we go!

     Taking a break and going to the park…

    I need to find SOMETHING that inspires me…

    Maybe my muse is storing it up for when Beth gets here? hmmm…

    Less then two weeks and she’ll be here!

    YEA!

    Is there something on the horizon that YOUR looking forward to?

  • CIRCLES UP! Mine et alia!
