Possibilities

The birds have been ignoring this particular feeder now that we've moved it to the front yard. It may or may not have anything to do with the four cats who live next door. As a result, some of the seeds have begun to sprout.

For some reason, the fact that the seeds sprouted in the feeder just inspires me. I need to do a better job of remembering the possibilities more than seeing the limitations.

A public service announcement

October is Fire Prevention Week and to commemorate the importance of this, the kids got to see a fire prevention program. At the end of the show, they were whisked outside for a quick little show with the fire trucks.

I love the way kids love fire trucks!

Now, please go check the battery in your smoke detector. I'll sleep much better if you do.

Frazzled

I really don't feel frazzled today although that was the word that came to mind when I saw this poor little flower. Actually, it was a great day.

I had a *serious* conversation at lunch with some 8 year old girls who "actually, really, really love Justin Bieber." How can you not smile at that?

Cicada molt

As I was browsing about the garden, I found this cicada shell. I've always wanted to see the molting process (in real life... not on a video) but alas, I only seem to find the shells after the fact. I used to have a big collection of these when I was a kid. I left it alone though part of me wanted to bring the shell in as a reminder of my youth.

SOOC

Sunroof

I could live under these Elephant Ear plants with a view like this one. It was a beautiful day and a fantastic weekend!

If you hear banjo music.... dance!

Saturday's picture...

The twin brother of the bride played his banjo. He even let his little nephew strum a few chords.

If life gives you limes...

Friday's picture....

There are many things I love about the south. Margaritas served from a Mason jar is just one of them.

This shot is SOOC from a fabulous wedding rehearsal party on the Georgia coast.
