Summer Smile

My big goofball dogggiee.

History Forgotten

We have a missionary house guest staying with us currently, and she loves history & historical places such as I do, - So we went on a history tour of the county! This is one of the oldest covered bridges in the state.
A cool old gas pump (imagine, 16 cents a gallon!) and a hawk we saw flying over the marsh. I thought maybe it was an Red-Tailed Hawk, but I'm not positive. Anyone have dis/agree?

Two pictures from an abandoned schoolhouse. Unfortunately the roof had fallen in, and it was deteriorating fast. This last shot is from an abandoned church. It was a really neat church, and had a huge cemetery behind it. I would have loved to go inside it! So yes, a good picture day.

Frontloader

I made a frontloader cake today for practice. I'm going to make one for the fair come this fall! Tomorrow's picture won't be up until Friday.

Rain, Rain

Some of the bases of our funky reed grass stuff growing out back. They're prickly and hurt.

Poking Out

I bought some coneflowers for my garden when I bought my butterfly bushes. A few of them bloomed while I was away, and two of my butterfly bushes are as well!

Dark vs. Light

A five-shot panoramic of the valley this afternoon around five o'clock. The storm passed over leaving blue skies on one side, and dark clouds on the other. It looked so cool!

Forword Hoe

Today we headed home! It was probably one of the nicest days we had, and it being a Saturday a lot of people had their boats, kayaks & jet skis out on the bay.
