Pretending to blog by saying I'm blogging in invisible ink cause I have no blog entry, no pic, no excuse.... just tired and going to bed

End of vacation

My vacation is over and I wish it wasn't.  Wah!   Had a few pictures to post from the last couple of days, but was too busy doing said vacating to get them up here.  Here are the ones I took tonight.

No freaking out necessary; these aren't comets, fairies, ghosts or weird celestial bodies, they're plain old raindrops.  I was trying to get some lightning photos. When it started raining harder I was afraid the camera would get wet.  Isn't it cool, though, how they look like they're shooting up instead of coming down?  In this next one, it looks like I'm taking pictures of stars, but again--raindrops!

Clean room, yada yada yada.   

Back to the grind tomorrow.  Looking forward to seeing my gal pals and chatting to get caught up, I mean working!  :)

There they go

Whether I'm dropping them off at summer camp

or watching them head into a brand new school year

I'm having the same thought.

There they go . . .

Granny plus Glitter plus Grandaughter plus Glue equals.....

Have a great, glittery night :)

Crayola Model Magic

It would appear that some of my creative flair has been passed on to my children. Right now they're into making little tiny critters and objects with modeling clay.  They made all of these trinkets in about an hour, and all I heard was a lot of laughing and getting along.  When I moved them around so I could photo them, I discovered at least one thing they were laughing about:  the orange dog is anatomically correct from the rear view.

I would definitely say this product is aptly named.  :)

I'm going to list the things that are in the photos.  Try to find everything--like those I Spy books.  Lots of fun!

Large dog, small dog, chew toy, dog bone, caterpillar, bowtie, army tank, cat face, frosted sugar cookie, Hershey's kisses, snail, slug, fish, football, green M & M, green skittle, small cat, cake, sunflower, frog, a fat worm, and two white & purple blobs I'm not sure about.

A few new items

Haven't dusted yet, but here's the spot for the vase:

I'm waiting to put these into the ground; pondering if I should do so or leave them in the pots.

I want to put the orangey one in the front of the house.  It's going to have yellow accents on the insides of the petals, according to the label.  I want to put the fuschia/magenta-looking one on the left side of the house by the little half wall.

Intellectual musings

Intellectual musings for Saturday--

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.  ~Aristotle

To believe fully and at the same moment to have doubts is not at all a contradiction; it presupposes a greater respect for truth, an awareness that truth always goes beyond anything that can be said or done at any given moment.  ~Rollo May

Photo Du Jour

from April 4, 2010 - taken by Dad

Sniglet

My mom gave me these post-it notes:

Too funny! Here's the real definition, which I had to look up because I didn't know.  A diphthong is a gliding monosyllabic speech sound that begins with one vowel and gradually changes to another vowel within the same syllable, as in boil, toy, or out.

I feel smarter just typing that.

September blogging

September blogging is going to be higher on the to-do list than it ended up being in August.  As penance for my negligence, I will make myself take and post at least one photo per day no matter what.

Starting tomorrow . . .
