See the ants....

I had gotten out my camera to take a picture of the spider seen here and decided to take a few more.  The peony is slow blooming this year.  I did not notice ALL these ants till I focused in on it.  I knew there were a few on it, but did not dream there was this many.

I cropped the photo in Picasa, and thought to hit the infrared filter and the above is the result.  Click to expand the view and tell me which you think the ants are more noticeable.

1.  My irises have been started blooming, however they are not blooming in their normal order.  This one does usually bloom first, and it did this year.  Next usually comes my peach irises, and some that are so dark purple that they almost look black.  They have always bloomed together.  The peach ones had their first bloom a few days ago, but the dark purple ones have not had a single blossom open.

2.  For all the women for a fun read, go read This Post by That British Woman.

3.  This cow's hairdo made me think of Our Gang's Alfalfa.  Honest to goodness, that was my first thought when I saw her.

4.  Do you stop and ask for directions when lost or unfamiliar with the territory you are in? Do you ever travel with someone that refuses to ask?  This video might explain why some men won't stop to ask for directions. 


5. Does anyone else remember this video/song?

I always wonder how many trys it took to get this right.  If you have not seen it, watch it...what they do is pretty complicated.

Just a little post...

We have been going the same route to visit Lorelei for several years now...and I had not really noticed these two barns.

They do sit back off the road.  To be honest, I think maybe they were not very visible.  When I noticed them a few weeks ago, there was a bulldozer there where they had been clearing out brush, bushes, etc.

I decided to make a run to Walmart today to pick up some graduation cards and another small gift.  Then thought of half a dozen other things.   I can never go out there without finding more than I original went to get.  The only time is if I am in a hurry and Roger is waiting in the car.

I have not been doing a lot on Rachel's quilt...I finished 12 more  of the squares, and I cut out enough jewel pieces to make 12 more this evening.  Hopefully I can get them made in the next few days.

I also have been trying to decide what to make for a baby quilt...I have a few months for it, but would love to get it made and ready.   Or at the least, know what I am going to make.  I am definitely keeping it simple.
