it's a lovely afternoon...

the skies are blue and the sun is shining...

I'm beginning to think the hammock idea wasn't such a good idea...

Craig can't walk past it without hopping in it...

needless to say, not a whole lot got done today...

if we leave this, it will be a limb some day...

more shadows...

another bird house...

you can never have too many of these...

everyone was lazy this afternoon...

and here is my little basket that I use to fetch bloomers...

you should know what's coming next...

another photo shoot...

little blooms are important, too...

because a flower's a flower, no matter how small...

53F for a low tonight!...

opening the windows...

grabbing an extra blanket...

and keeping the allergy medicine close at hand...

have a fun evening...

I have been waiting for a morning like this for a long, long, long time...

I am really starting to like this part of the yard...

and I really had a brainy idea out here this morning...

change out the new bricks for older ones from other beds...

and instead of red pavers...

I am thinking tan to match the pit...

what do you think?...

about 5PM, cover your ears...

I'm gonna lay on dh...

there could be a loud moan...

had to make a little corner here...

but it worked out...

I know you are all getting sick of my rose of sharon...

but this shot was cool...

and I'm going to be shooting the morning glories until they are gone...

just because I like them...

weeds are pretty too...

and if size has anything to do with it...

here's some big ones...

weeds and old corn stalks from last year...

the weeds are winning again...

Daphne always smells the bloomers...

coming up the steps...

one step closer to the computer and blog world...

when I got up this morning it was 63F !...

it's only 75F now...

with the most fantastic little breeze going on...

did I ever tell you that I like wind?...

it makes the flowers dance...

and it's God waving to us with the leaves on the trees...

my momma told me when I was little that God was like the wind...

you can't see him...

but you can sure feel him and that's how you know he's there...

I have loved the wind ever since...

I hope your flowers dance today and the trees are waving!...

Blue Monday

here are some more of my collages that I make...

I like old images and vintage wall papers and post cards...

I just combine them...

print them...

frame them...

and sell them...

Happy Blue Monday!

for more blues...
