Photo journaling

Oh man, I really LOVE this photo.

Backside of Queen Anne's lace, and if you look closely you will see a hanger-on.

Loving the Queen Anne's lace.

This is a great spangled fritillary butterfly...I think.

Who knew thistle could be this pretty!

Wheat silhouette.  (I can finally spell silhouette without looking-yay!)

I love pretzels with ice cream.  I especially like Utz extra dark sour dough pretzels-yummy!

Have a wonderful week!

Coconut milk 'ice cream'

I decided to make some 'ice cream' using coconut milk, after seeing it making the rounds on the internet.  So I bought a can of coconut milk for the first time in my life.  Then I literally and figuratively dusted off my ice cream maker.  I used this recipe.  Except I halved it.  And I used powered sugar, instead of granulated sugar, because I was almost out of granulated.  And I didn't cool the coconut milk, because I didn't want to wait.  Also, I didn't use a blender-I just mixed it by hand.  (I did shake the can first, though.)  Despite not following the recipe exactly, it turned out great.  It was delicious!  I thought a little chocolate syrup would be good with it (think Mounds bar), and it was.  I think I'll pick up a few more cans of coconut milk, so I have them on hand.

 Have a great day!

The clouds were being amazing again.

Honeybees like butterfly weed too.

Beggars at my door-Jasper and Rocco.  I threw them a treat and told them to go play.   (My old fridge has  been sitting on the deck for only...a month.)

Rhododendron bush=birthing center.  It looks like the robins freshened up their nest with some grass and started laying again.  It was only empty a little over a week.

This is my bro-out-law, Dave.  He's red.

Hubby is green.

Have a great week, everybody!

A sunrise from last week-no editing.  I used my camera's night landscape setting and it captured the true colors, instead of washing them out.

The last of my mom's bleeding heart blooms.

Here's a mushroom my mom showed me.  It was in her neighbor's yard.  People like to show me stuff.  I'm glad about that!

Have a wonderful week, everybody!

A sunny Sunday morning

Mr. Hummer visited on Sunday morning-sitting a spell, soaking in the sun's warm rays, drinking the sugary water-you know, living the good life.

Warty toads

Toads are very 'interesting' looking creatures...

and masters of camouflage, it seems.

My sister, Kim, found these guys in the basement window well of her house and called me out (excitedly) to look and take pics.  So I did!
