Day Two Hundred Twenty 2010

Unreal


"I'm not a real Sunflower. I just play one in a wreath." My sister grows beautiful real ones in her yard. I do enjoy my fake ones in this wreath on my back door. Not quite the same but nice for picture taking in the Solaris color setting on my cell phone camera. With a little red, white and blue thrown in for good measure. Not too shabby. Wishing everyone a wonderful week!

Day Two Hundred Nineteen 2010

Pathwork


Hubby Neil started in again on the latest stone pathway. This one leads from the kitchen door to his RC airplane hangar/workshop/shed. It's been in the making for many moons now and much needed, because he's always trekking back and forth, tracking stuff into the kitchen and beyond. This one shouldn't take much longer. The unfinished one on the north side of the house--well, that's another story and another picture for another day.

Day Two Hundred Seventeen 2010

I Scream!


Grandkids Shelby and Elijah scope out the tasty frozen choices at the Marble Slab Creamery this afternoon.

It all came down to chocolate and vanilla--classic flavors. Shelby got two different flavors of chocolate and Elijah chose Birthday Cake and good old vanilla. Stuffed inside a waffle cone coated in white chocolate and sprinkles.

"Granny, if I eat all this, I'll get sick." (He took his chances.)

Yum! It even smells good.

Lick!Lick!Lick! Gooood stuff! Fun times!

Day Two Hundred Sixteen 2010

Breaking News ...


I went outside today only when I had to, because it was HOT. 100+ degrees most everywhere except maybe the Southern Hemisphere, where it is Winter. You lucky people! Well, it is Summer in the South in August, so the heat should come as no big surprise to those of us who have lived here all our lives. Hard to imagine the concept of a Snow Day right now, but it's coming. Probably not soon enough for some of us. For now I think I'll stay inside. This too shall pass.
