Day 217 - Out for a ride

Another beautiful day in our corner of Maryland so we took the boys to Heritage Farm Park to expend a little energy. All went well until Michael took a slight spill and Christopher, being ahead, didn't see so kept on going. Michael was not amused. He suffered a small scrape, and a large bruised psyche. The former was repaired with some grandfatherly planning in the form of a First Aid Kit in the van, while the latter was repaired with some grandmotherly hugs, kisses, and gentle words. ;)

Starting off this week's theme of water, here's one of the three water towers that supplies the precious liquid to our town... when it's not being contaminated by a manure lagoon, that is!

boubou and her daughter were right on the money with their guess of the phone, just at the other end - hearing instead of speaker. ;)

Sorry I'm late posting - the boys are keeping me busy! Loved the guesses - gawdess, yours cracked me up - not quite that ambitious! lol - boubou, yes, that is a reflection of my hand.

When taking yesterday's picture, I ended up with some cool shots, soooo...

here's another hint...

Ta da! It's the van headlight... chrome-looking plastic, not alulminum.

In all fairness, I messed up and have been using macro instead of cropping, but the effect is almost the same. For #3, I did both.

Day 212 - What is it? - #2

The boys think I'll stump people with this one - did I? (This is fun!) :)

gawdess and boubou were definitely in the ball park with yesterday's mystery - a glass coaster on a placemat.

Day 211 - What is it? - #1

This week's theme is Mystery - sooooo, whadda ya think this is??

Day #125 - Plant zone...

We went to another nursery today and finally got the shrubs (euonymous) for alongside the garage that we've been talking about forever. Also picked up a hosta and bleeding hearts for the mailbox garden, along with ...

... a hanging verbena for the deck, and some New Guinea impatiens for an existing bed of sedum and lilies.

Still have more annuals to get, but these will give us a start-up with this season's planting.


And, the answer to yesterday's "what is it" - you all were so close!...




keep scrolling...





a little bit more...




One of our kitties' scratching toys... they scratch them to pieces!

Well done, ladies! Thanks for playing! :)

Day #124 - What is it??

Well, I've drawn a total blank for a picture today and we haven't done one of these in awhile, soooooo... wanna guess what it is??

Answer tomorrow!

Day #70 (cont'd) - and the answer is...

A dishcloth! One of those disposable types that I can plop in the
dishwasher occasionally and then pitch when it really gets ratty.
Those were great guesses, thanks for playing along! :)

I'm so glad y'all enjoyed the blue theme, I had lots of fun doing it. I'm really looking forward to the color themes YOU guys post!

Day #70 - My Blue Period - 7

I was hoping for a bright, sunny, blue-skied day to close this week's blue period, but Mother Nature just isn't cooperating. We have bright and we have sunny... but we don't have blue. We have somewhat white skies. Sooo, I chose bits and scraps of... what else?... scrapping supplies instead.

And, for your entertainment, I'm throwing in a bonus blue What is It??

Whatcha think it is? (answer tomorrow)

Day #39 - What is it??

2-09-07 - UPDATE:
Desert Song got it!... well, pretty close anyway. It's just a plain ol' duster - a modern-day version of the feather duster, I guess. I keep it by my monitor, which collects all kinds of dust - darn thing picks up everything but men and money!

Anyway, you don't win a prize or anything, just a great big ATTA GIRL!! and a Thanks for Playing! :) LOL!
So, going about my mundane day, and unable to come up with anything other than mundane, I decided to totally steal Southern Girl's idea (thanks!) and tried to come up with something to make y'all ponder instead. Had fun playing on the macro setting too. I'll post what it is tomorrow (or tell you if someone guesses.) :)
