While I enjoy taking pictures, I don't consider myself a photographer at all. I seldom think about composition or anything like that. And half the pictures are on my iPhone anyway. The other morning I snapped this pretty sunrise picture. It was pretty but much like the other 100 sunrise pictures over the Detroit River I've taken. Not all that special, right?
And then something told me to look UP. I raised the field of vision just over the sun and clicked. Ahhhh, I like this!!!
It's not often I find myself home alone without much to do. But that's exactly what happened Thursday last week. I had done a pit stop at Costco and knowing I was home alone for dinner, I bought a Cesar Salad. After putting everything away, I grabbed a magazine, my salad and a water bottle and hit the beach at our lake. Ahhhh. I found my Zen there.
My boy turned 16. Sigh.
It wasn't a big party or anything. Just a regular day almost. Almost.
We didn't even wrap his present. I couldn't find the wrapping paper that I had to move recently. Though the big box wasn't exactly easy to open.
There was another box inside but the labeling on it pretty much gave it away. Arai makes helmets. Really, really GOOD helmets.
Helmets that will protect this 16 year old brain!
Love you, Austin!!!
Last weekend I spent hours and hours scrubbing the horse trailer. You can see some of the before and after results below. Yes, this is the roof which meant I was standing on a ladder. It also meant going up and down and up and down the ladder many, many times.
First wet it down with the big car wash brush and soapy water. Then scrub it with a scrubby and Soft Scrub. Then more soap and water on the brush. Then rinse well. Two feet at a time. And when it was all done, go back and wash down the gray sides to make sure none of the soft scrub dripped down on it.
And while this wasn't actually time to smell roses since I don't HAVE any roses, I did spot this pretty butterfly/moth. She was enjoying the mist from my hose and then sat around in the sun drying out her wings. She must have needed a shower!
If this little guy could just make it to Detroit in an hour or less...
This is my friend Sheri's mini donkey and cart with her "nephew" driving. I think I need this set up for when I'm too old to ride!
This is what girls do to dry their horses after a bath...
