A Few Random Shots...

With the weather forecast talking rain off and on all day, I didn't take my camera with me to my parents.  The weather decided to clear up for a bit today and we were able to wander around outside.  I was disappointed that I didn't have my camera with me for once since there were several neat things to take pictures of around the yard.  Luckily I had my phone on me, so I snapped some pictures with it.

Mom's little teacup roses have been blooming big time this last week.  These things are so small and delicate that they amaze me.  To get a somewhat up close picture with my phone I had to basically be on top of them.


The weird thing of the day for today was fungus.  There were different shapes, sizes and as you can see by the 3rd picture...different colors.




I thought I could snap a cool picture of the clouds today, but I realized quickly that there were more trees in the way from the corner of the yard than I remembered.  Even though I didn't get a picture of the clouds, I did look up to see that the wild grapes were starting to come on.


The picture is a little fuzzy, but one of mom's kittens was giving me the "Whatcha doin'?" look while I was snapping pictures.


I'm sitting here finishing up my post, sipping on some Sleepytime tea, and hoping that it starts to kick in.  I chuckle a little every time I use this cup.  My uncle gave this to me for Christmas last year and he is obsessed with Old Threshers Reunion.  OTR is a festival that reminisces of the old times of steam powered engines, trains, old cars, old-style (but good) food.  My uncle goes to OTR religiously every year and snaps pictures of the same old tractors every year.  I have been to OTR a few times, but definitely not two years in a row.  They have some awesome craft vendors and food vendors.  It has been a couple of years since my parents and I were there, so with any persuasion maybe I can talk them into going this year or next.


It sounds like the washing machine is done.  Time to call it a night.
