Day One Hundred Nineteen 2013

Once again, our roof is covered in Maple tree seeds ~ a rite of Spring, I suppose. They clog the gutters and stick to the bottom of your shoes and get tracked through the house. I call them helicopters or whirly things. I know they are necessary to carry on the Maple tree population, yet I loathe them. I mean, why does there have to be so many of them? But, what are you going to do? Chop down all the Maple trees? It’s a thought, but I enjoy the shade they provide in the Summer, and I love their colors in the Fall. It’s my rite of Spring to complain about them. Thanks for listening.

From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.

One year today. Miss you, Mom!

Day Ninety Six 2012

This looks like an insect wing, doesn't it? It's a macro shot of a tree seed (one of what seems like millions covering everything on and around our house right now). I refer to them as those 'whirly things'. They look like helicopters spinning in the wind. If they all took root, we'd have ourselves a nice little forest in about twenty years. 

Day One Hundred Five 2011

A very soggy TGIF, but that's okay, because it's TGIF!

Happy weekend!

Friday Flies

Dandelion garden. You don't need a green thumb to grow these.

Miss Shelby: Visiting Artist. She was very painterly today.

Snowball. So pretty and they smell good, too. The kids like to throw them at each other like snowballs.

Tree seeds. I call them "those whirly things". The wind scattered them in countless numbers today. They are everywhere.

Fridays always fly by way too fast. Hope yours was grand.
