grammy & little "e"

Enjoying some time with the family.

going postal

A big thank you to all of my pen pals this week!

just what the doctor ordered

I made these fun, heart-shaped earrings out a Diet Dr. Pepper can. (I used the bottle lid to show size.)

firstborn flora

My wildflowers are finally in bloom! Remember when my garden was in its infancy?

before & after

Home ownership (noun): A long and winding road with no end in sight!

Before: Cracked, dirty, roughly textured plaster & cement board walls with equally unattractive painted/stained pine floor.
After: Freshly painted ultra-white bead board wall paneling with refinished pine floors.

beautiful lie

I had no idea this was a two-toned lily. What a beautiful surprise!

friendly shark

I am overwhelmingly excited that we now have curbside recycling. I've already filled the can to the top (and we just got it today!).

on the rocks

Remember these clearanced beauties? They seem to be enjoying their new home amongst the rocks.

for the birds

This has been a Hitchcock kind of week. On Sunday, I watched a bird chase a cat up and down my street. Yesterday, two quarreling birds almost flew into my windshield. Now this creepy winged creature is keeping watch over our house...

from the archives

I saw the most amazing sunset tonight. I risked life and limb to snap a few pictures with my point-and-shoot as I was traveling along the interstate. Unfortunately, none of the pictures were worth the card they are stored on, so you're stuck with an oldie I took last summer of a dragonfly at Lake Norman State Park.

brick boggle

How many words can you make with the letters featured in the picture above?

classic chrome

The rear bumper of a classic Chevy Impala.

capturing the classics

I enjoyed a fun photoshoot at the Backing Up Classics Motor Museum with my fellow photography pal from Sapphire Lemon Photography.

heart of stone

More simple street art.

keep on truckin'

Admittedly, I didn't get a very good picture of this gem. Its owner came out and asked for $5/picture, and although I know he was joking, it made me incredibly uncomfortable to have an audience.

wall of unhappiness

A simple expression of street art.

no bull about it

This bad boy grazes in a field on nearby farm.

ren and stimpy

While Grant and Mallory are in Jamaica, Fin is spending the week with Uncle Gromit. They have had a fun time playing tug-of-war and chasing each other all over the house.

don't worry, be happy

The happy couple make their final debut as they head out on their way to JAMAICA!

can i come too?

Can I come to the wedding? I promise I'll be good...
