Pretty Flowers

The garden is lookin pretty good now. Some of this stuff will come up next year, I hope. Eventually it'll have mostly perennials there.

About Time to Update

I know I haven't kept up on this blog, but here's my excuse: It's summer, it's nice out and I haven't spent much time on the computer. So here's the update. Of course there's the flowers and stuff we've been doing in the yard. Since we haven't had much rain around here, I have to water everyday. Yeah, like that takes up a lot of time. I like sitting out on the back porch in the morning and drink my coffee. That usually starts my day off well.
The cool thing that I'm doing now is taking a digital photography course so I can learn how to to use and shoot some decent pictures with this new stinkin camera I bought. There is so much for me to learn, but eventually it'll all come together and I'll get it right. Well one of my assignments was to shoot a picture of someone or something and stop the motion. All morning I was trying to figure out a subject for these pictures. Anyhow, Heather and the girls came over to visit. It was soo hot that I let them play with the garden hose to water my plants. After a while I hooked up the sprinkler so they could run through it. That's when it hit me. There's my subject. So I ran in the house, got my camera and fiddled around with some of the settings. Makayla is such a camera hog, she was more than willing to jump through the sprinkler so I could get a picture of her in mid-air. The pictures turned out better than I thought they would. So I guess I'm learning something after all.
