Jac and the dino

Just loved the composition of this...

Still Friendly

My grandmother painted china. One of the last times that I visited her, she had all her "treasures" out for us to choose from. I hated it, but it means that I have this. I chose the daisies (go figure) and the dogwoods. I also have a tiny Austrian cup that Granddad drank hot chocolate out of as a child and a couple of other things from that day. (Pulling these out was probably not the *best* way to spend part of the day when I was sick, but it's tough to come up with photos when you don't leave the house.)

It was her funeral that brought me here for the job interview...

Former Bane

Just seeing this plant in the field behind the parking lot made me twitch. When I was a child on the farm, one of our pastimes was "hunting thistles"--no seriously. You had a hoe and a plastic bag (recycled from something-or-other), and you hoed the thistle down as far as you could, then you put the heads/flowers in your bag (we got to burn them later). If you left any of them they would just grow into more thistles.

There's a tale that involves a scar on my brother's hand, a hoe, and the cattle pond that goes here. ;-) No mud in the world is stickier than the edges of the pond. (Wow, was *I* in trouble--I was old enough to know better. *sigh*)

Down the Garden Path

Or, how wynn got Jacque in trouble...

"Jacque, are you trying to show me your butt?"

Procrastination

Been falling down on the pictures of me, so here's wynn *not* getting ready for Lilies...

And since I've missed a couple of weeks, here's a photo Rhodri took of me on the way to the Dropkick Murphys concert in March. (Look Mom, I'm wearing lipstick... :o) )

Again with the Clouds...

(Apologies to the people behind me at the stoplight this morning who had to wait an extra half second while I took this...) ;-)

Kansas in June

Just because it's June, June, Juuune...
