even though
i am blogging sporadically
at best
the intention is always there
and the camera proves it
the pictures it holds
aren't of family splashing in the pool
no...not those
i am firmly footed
in the moment
and for me
the lens distracts
much like those stupid
smart phones
(but that's another post entirely
ha! yeah, right!)
no.
the pictures in my camera
tell a story
or rather an intended story
of an outdoor concert
that found all those who braved the conditions
donning colorful tent-like ponchos
and even bigger smiles
that's not a flash
just as i got the shot
the stage lights
lit my gang up like that deer
in the headlights
there are rainy day fashion pics
that i wanted to share here
like a
what to wear to an outdoor concert when it rains
post
oh
it was going to be so good
another day
another time
some day
in the future
when i am reminiscent
i can see myself sifting through
the many pictures wondering
who half the people are
i have no idea
but they sure know how to dress
in the rain
moving forward
or rather scrolling forward
so many pictures
so little space...
i may have mentioned
our home is
an air-condition free environment
doors and windows are
wide open
sounds of life
fill my space
and a finished pool deck
beckons
really
lovin'
it
between the raindrops
this past weekend
was very nice
and allowed me to
finally!
get the outdoor furniture
out of storage
and i declared it officially summer
about that rain...
not weed
citronella
to combat that dreaded
MI State bird...
the mosquito.
the plants are
happy
with it
this has been an amazing
year for the
butterfly
and they are loving my milkweed
from weed to cupboard...
this was going to be a post
about
removing the gunk
that accumulates
and in the humid weather
almost grabs hold of you
as you try to open the
cupboard
air-conditioning
my old friend
you are dearly missed
tried goo gone
the rag says win
but the continued stickiness said
lose
googled this recipe
a homeopathic remedy
blending oil with baking soda
and elbow grease
maybe too much so
the after
after i gave it a spray of windex
to polish it it off?!
where was that smart phone when i needed it?
yeah i successfully
stripped the varnish off
and stained them windex blue
not cool
adding paint cupboards to the
to-do list
what's next?
ping pong
stands at the ready
on our driveway
you know you're a redneck when...
grabbing fun whenever
the sun makes its brief
appearance
our badminton court
with painted boundary lines
because
we are a competitive group
had to start serious training
when my sister told me
her husband
my greatest rival
has been practicing
yep
we (ha!)
are a competitive group ;)
i think that just about
does it
we are all caught up
hopefully i will be back before
august
until then
my camera will
be there to
hold the story
