Pretty + Prettier

Our surprise lilies really are a surprise this year...I do not know why they have been so beautiful. It has been years and years since I have had a full crop. The above photo is about half the bed of them. As you can see below, I don't think there could be another bloom possible.

And here is the real beauty....she is so funny. She totally wore me out one day...just her. Just wasn't happy no matter what. But the rest of the week she has been a normal happy baby. She has laughed and laughed today...at Shelby, at me, just everything would turn her gigglebox on.
She does this thing where she jabbers from the back of her throat and that is what she is doing in the above photo...just having a good time. Her belly is full, her bottom is clean, and her grandma is paying attention to her.

Not sure if I will get time to visit tonight...I have things I need to do. My Cougar used me as a race track early this morn till I got up and let him out. I am worn out...so I need to get to bed early if possible. But will see how that goes.

The sun.....

Please click on picture for best viewing!

That is the sun....trying to penetrate the fog that was hovering over and around the Wabash River as we left town the other morning. The picture was underexposed, so I used fill flash to lighten it a little bit. I liked the under-exposed version, too.

Have you ever seen a house like this?

The other day on our detour coming home from Indianapolis, we passed this little house. I shot this through the window....sort of wish now that we had stopped. Enlarge it and look...have you ever seen a house finished like this? Do you know what causes the 'bumps?' I really have no idea why it is like this. I am wondering if I will say 'Duh' once someone tells what is actually going on.
