Green

I wonder

What will I find

at the end of this road?

More Green!!

These were taken last weekend.

This week has been very cool and gloomy but it rained softly this morning, I enjoyed it. 

Take Care!

Rustic Roads

I finally got out this summer and took a drive up to Wisconsin

There are miles and miles of rustic roads

The picture above was taken in 2012

This one was taken in 2013

Here's the same barn yesterday

Such a big beautiful barn on a stunning piece of property

I wonder why they didn't save it.

These people are not poor. 

There is a beautiful house next to this barn.

Can't always depend on the neighbors to have good taste!

Good Fences

I'm still here

So sorry to those who were alarmed by my long absence.

Thanks for the emails!

I am fine, just not in a blogging mood.

I'll be back. 

I do enjoy blogging, but right now I have so much occupying my my time and my mind that I just don't have the bandwidth to keep up with blogging.

Nothing earthshaking.

I'm fine.

Take Care

Still Kicking!

For the last three weeks I have been so ill.

I will spare you the details.

I have been going to work but come home exhausted and have 

done nothing but a small bit of dusting.

I have been reading all the blogs and looking at all your wonderful pictures but don't even have the energy to comment.

So this morning when I woke up feeling like a human bean again I started looking for a photo to post.

Holy cow! there is not much in my "acceptable to post" folder.

I just realized my camera has been getting very dusty this year.

Anyway.

I tried to get a better shot of the little yellow but every time I got anywhere into position he flew away.

There have been some really pretty sunrises lately.

I can't believe it is July already. I missed June altogether. 

Take Care!!

Sniffels

My sweet Pie and I are both under the weather.

 Cough, cough, sniff, sniff!

Just stopped by to say Hi.

Rain

I know I've been away too long but I am so so busy.

Between working extra hours, (that's gonna have to stop) 

and oh so much fun watching the Black Hawks playing hockey.

I just haven't had much extra time.

It has been quite rainy here. 

We seem to get a couple of dry days during the week and then it rains all weekend. Phooey!

These were taken just after one of the rain showers

You should see he weeds!! OMG!

Take Care

Sunday the last day of May

Well, it stopped raining for a bit.

Only a few weeks from summer and it is finally spring here

Today it is a whopping 55 deg

This dwarf Spirea is blooming nicely around my deck

The Columbine is blooming

And my precious Chives!

I have had these chives since 1993, planted them at two houses and brought a bit of them here in a pot in 2006.

They come back every year faithfully

I think its time I give this plant a bit more growing room and find a spot to put them in the ground. 

There is a spot on the sunny side of the house near the Columbine that should suit this plant just fine.

Wow, how time flies. I can't believe I have been here almost 9 years.

It seems like yesterday!!
