Welcome to my world!
What you'll see here is life ... Someones real life!
Maybe mine. Maybe yours.

Day 127...Market
Day 127
Mark and I went to city market this morning before
coming home to work on the flower gardens...
coming home to work on the flower gardens...
Here's a few shots as we were making our way through market!
Pretty bedding plants, ready for your garden!
Turnips, Radishes and Beets, anyone?
Breakfast, City Market style! My favorite part of a trip to market...
but today we ate breakfast at Los Alamos...:)
this beautiful Hollyhock was growing in a VERY raised bed garden along Summit St.
An onion bloom from my own garden!
I don't know why but I really, really like these onion flowers.
Too bad they don't stay like this for a longer period of time!
Day 126...Delicious and Beautiful!
Day 126
Busy, busy day! When I got home from work Mark asked where I wanted to eat and I just said... "I don't care, you pick" I was too tired to really care although the only thing I'd thought of that day was Corner Cafe! A gal I work with and I had been talking about it earlier in the day and from then on, that's all I thought of for dinner...why I didn't just say I'd like to go to Corner Cafe, I don't know...but I sure was happy when Mark turned the corner and I realized that's exactly where he was going!!! He'd definitely read my mind!
We tend to do that ALL THE TIME!!
The sky was so gorgeous a couple of hours after I took the photo above..
two nice ways to end my day, good food and a beautiful sunset
Day 125....Rain!
Day 125
We got some rain!!!
As I was sitting in my recliner relaxing after work, watching the rain pour down I thought maybe I could use the cover of my front porch to step out on to and catch a shot of something, anything. My neighbors had been out, sitting under the canopy of their motor home and I thought I might catch that as my photo of the day but they had moved inside as the rain became harder...I could only take one step outside on my porch too without being drenched so my photo of the day is this sad little Impatient in the corner of my front porch, protected from the sun, but also not getting any of the wonderful rain pouring down.
Poor little plant must feel like a neglected child...only getting water from a hose!
Day 124...Gazebo Completed!
Day 124
Today while visiting my mom I remembered to take my camera in and catch a shot of the completed gazebo in the courtyard at Evergreen Community in Olathe, KS. It all looks very beautiful. I'm so happy the residents have this gorgeous garden to call their own. I know my mom loves looking out her window into the courtyard and seeing all the birds that fly in to her feeders. And now she has the gazebo in sight also!
Here's the finished product!
For all my photography buddies, I had a little fun playing around with all my sliders in Lightroom3 on this one...
I usually just stick to the "Basics"
Being self-taught through Googling my questions and viewing You Tube video's,
I realize I have limited knowledge on what Lightroom can really do for me...
but...little by little I'm learning!! This one was a total experiment in just moving the sliders back and forth.
Day 123...T-Ball Time :)
Day 123
Possibly my all time, favorite photo of Jaxson...what an angel face!
Time for some outdoor fun with the little "Do-Da" (as PaPa calls all the babies)...
"OK PaPa, so I put the ball up here..."
"...what do you mean hit it?"
"never mind, it's time for a bat snack"
headin' back in...he's done
"GiGi, seriously, it's no big deal...I only ate a little bird seed"
