Our lives are brought together by the things we have in common. We share friendships that have no boundaries. We see things that are truly unique, and things that are the same. Here we will knit together the strands we share...
Wow! I can't believe how long I have been away from this, and it is still going!! That is so cool! Everyone ought to make a concept-blog and then bail out, and then come back, just so they can be amazed that their idea still lives on!! Good on ya, all!! ;D!
Fall is... the corn getting harvested. This is this morning... when I came home for lunch, the corn was all gone...
When I first started this project, this was a subject I really wanted to do... I have been a sorta lame host, falling off the wagon in recent months, but I am lovin the way you all have picked up the camera and run with it!! Do you have one of these??
Here is my happy spot...
Clockwise from the onions, potatoes, sunflowers, cabbage, broccoli and raspberries....
from the other corner, black raspberries, tomatoes, pinto beans, and poles ready for some green beans too...
Here is the view out my front window. I love my house sooo much!!! Moved here from Chicago, where the view was rather "Honeymooners". Now, we have 1.5 acres on the edge of town... ah! For less than we paid in rent in Chi-town!! Here's to the country life...
I know you all know all about this... most of you are the knitterly types...
what is it?? Well, it's the finally finished socks!
Ok, I thought I'd never get to this post! I watched as budding flowers and snow swept landscapes were posted, and hoped for a sign... from spring. And then today happened! Not only is it the glorious new and improved first day of daylight savings time, it is also the day spring sprung!
First, I spotted this in the flower bed.... daffodils to come...
then... a crowd gathered on the bank of the Rock River to behold the ice flow...
Spring has sprung! Yippee!!
I was stumped on the Home of the Giant... until yesterday, when I was crossing over the Mississippi into Iowa. Home of the Giant... river!
I started my pursuit of the near-extinct Plastic Flamingo (flamingus plasticus) early on Saturday morning. We found this, this and even this, but alas, no Flamingo.
On too much coffee and with kids shouting "there's one" when I'm pretty sure they have no idea what a plastic flamingo is, I trolled the street of town, in search of a rare glimpse.
After what seemed like an eternity, we came upon this wonderful specimen. I chased it in the snow and freezing cold, but was only able to snap this shot with my telephoto lens. I dared not get too close for my Flamingo had taken refuge... and I had heard stories of horror regarding the dangerous behavior of startled Plastic Geese.
Hello! This is just so awesome! I am loving that you all are loving this. I can tell. Even though it's yer back and yer running away, I know there's a smile on your face!
Check out the suggestion below from Nessie. Sounds like the next assignment is up!
I also had a quick idea. How about using your name as a label? That way when folks are browsing, they can look at all the stop signs, for instance, or look at everything a certain person has posted??
Waddya think?
BWT Nessie, there is snow and cold and not a lot of flamingos in these parts! Thanks for the challenge!
here I am hopping through the freshly fallen snow! I love my back yard, in any weather! I better get some sledding in now, while the kids are taking their naps!! I don't like to share the sled...
Ok, let's get the ball rollin! Let's start with an easy one. Post a photo of the nearest stop sign to your home... here's mine...
that little green garage is on my property... be sure to use the label function while posting and label it "stop sign", this will put all our stop sign posts in one place! Have fun!
