Another mural...

This is another mural in Brazil, Indiana.  I was snapping while sitting at a red light...through the window.

1.  The funny for today is from Lorelei.  The other night she had had her bath, and was ready for bed.  Her mom told her to come and get her hair brushed.  She wanted to just go to bed.  Her mom reminded her how tangled it would be in the morning.  I can't recall the exact sequence, but it was about she was tired, and her mom told her she was tired, too.  Lorelei's reply was "But you just pass out money all day...I go to school all day and learn math and learn to read!"

2.  Deb told me about this song because of a post I did the other day.  I loved it from the first notes, then the words.  They will strike home for any one that has been involved with farming and loves it.


3.  Is it too soon to complain about the heat?  Just wondering.

4.  I am embarrassed to say I have not planted a single tomato plant nor new flower.  Hoping that changes next week.

5.  I just read East Wind, A True Story by Jacqueline Richards, Lessil Richards.  I really enjoyed it and wished it were longer.

Linking to Tanya's Willy Nilly Friday 5.....

Places like this

Places like this call to me...I want to explore along the banks, I want to fish in the stream.  I want to turn over rocks and look for crawdads...basically, I want to be a kid again.  I can't remember where this was taken...I wondered if I took it after a recent rain.  I went and looked at photos taken the same day and other photos show another creek that is really dried up.

I have not done two cents worth of anything today.  It is funny, one day I will accomplish a lot and the next day I don't earn my salt.

I did finally go down and sew on 'the quilt.'  I have not sewn on it since I ran out of fabrics, even though I have gotten new ones.  Seems like any time I get stopped on a project, it is hard to pick it up and start again.  But oh, it feels so good to have started again.  It won't be long until until I have to pause and do some more cutting, but at least I have fabrics to cut.
 

A bright and sunny day

It was a bright, sunny, really warm, day....I hung out a couple loads of clothes.  I took the first load out, and started the second load before I hung the first out.  By the time the I hung the second load out, the first load was almost dry.

I was making a late run to the supper walmart, and ran through the end of the strip pit area.  I paused to snap a pic of the frog above...I did not see the second one till I downloaded the images and looked at them on this computer.  You may need to click and expand the view to see it.

And then this fellow paused long enough for me to take a couple quick pics.

All three photos have been cropped and played with in Picasa.

As I went to Walmart, I was going through farm country, and saw several farmers working.  But if it had been totally dark, I would have known they were or had been working...the smell of fresh turned soil was strong in the air.  In one area, I could smell where wild onions had been disturbed.  I did not find it an offending smell...
