this morning's photo shoot...

several years ago a tiny shop here in town was closing...
and this little chick needed a home...
and he was "cheep"...
marked down 75% off the original price...
so he came home with me...
and he sits just below my monitor and keeps me out of trouble...
which is a full time job!...
but I have never given him a name...
any suggestions?
my sister in law sent this to me in an email tonight...
so pretty...
blessings to you...
Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

last night's supper...

my youngest son, the college boy, cooked last night...
and this is what he wanted...
he did a store run and came back with a cut up chicken...
said he was getting tired of beef and pork...
so he fried the chicken, fried potatoes, made lipton chicken noodles and opened some corn...
he was a little upset that I didn't blog it...
so here it is...
a little late...
supper ala Craig...

more altered post cards...

I want to thank Kathy for listing my blog in her post today...

She is such a sweet lady and has the most fun blog! 
 I so enjoy my visits with her.

but, I'm sure you know her already...

my kitties...

my grandmother's salt and pepper shakers...
my mother in law's creamer...
and the other set of my grandmother's salt and pepper shakers...
aren't they adorable?...

in the dark...

walnut tree...
walnuts...
see the star in the middle?...
you never know how the photos are going to turn out when you take them at night...
or who else is out there with you...
but I always wonder who eats on my cone flowers...
and now I know...
a very small inch worm...
they were wonderful this year...but they are starting to fade away...
and the marigolds are just starting to get busy...
it's just after midnight and it's finally down to 81F...
there was a nice little breeze and we could see lightening in the distance...
we laid on the loungers with the new cushions...
it was nice...
and I listened to the crickets...
and almost fell asleep out there...
and if you are here looking for White Wednesday...
well...
its down 2 posts...
I blog a lot...
