Maybe mine. Maybe yours.

Day 157

Day 156...Now, I Know!
Day 156
Now I know how the grape jelly occasionally ends up on the ground!!!
I looked out my kitchen window early this morning and this is what I saw...
Time to pull out the BB gun again!
Except, I'm such a bad shot... :/

Day 155...Summer & Cemetery
Day 155
There's really nothing that says "Summer" any better than the taste of Sweet Corn! I love it!
A trip to city market was all it took to find some of the best! Last week Mark brought home a dozen and I went back for another dozen this morning!
Can't wait to have some for dinner tomorrow!
YUUMMMY!
My afternoon was fun and educating also. That's always a good thing!
I went on a photography club field trip to Union Cemetery in Kansas City, Mo. ....
A fascinating, historical location here in our city. I'd never been there before. It's sad to see it becoming run down. One more historical site that our city doesn't value enough to claim as history and make a priority. Very Sad.
out of over 4,000 headstones in the cemetery, I walked up to this one.
This person was born 105 years to the day before I was!
There are over 55,000 graves recorded there at the cemetery. Only 8% are marked with a tombstone.

This chained and padlocked gate is the entrance to the McGee family Mausoleum.

Day 154...Tilled To The Surface
Day 154
When my husband and I first moved into our home seven summers ago the entire West side fence line was lined with Hardy Hibiscus...I'm not really sure that's their actual name, but I do know they're Hibiscus of some "hardy, perennial type"...
Second year we lived here, they were pulled out to make room for tomatoes to grow since this was the only sunny location in our yard.
As sad as I was to see them go, I too wanted tomatoes!
After six years, (last year 2011) one lonely plant came back and produced beautiful blooms! I think maybe when Mark tilled the soil it brought something back close enough to the surface to grow...either that or it just took that long for them to start growing back! Either way, it came back and this year I have three growing along my fence line again and plenty of room for our tomatoes too! I vaguely remember there were different colors so I'm anxious to see what color bloom the other two plants will produce!
This one is the first to bloom!
Day 153....Thank You, Mother Nature!
Day 153
Finally we got some rain!
1 1/4 inches here at my house in Liberty.
I know of a lot of people, near and far that got varying amounts but I know we're all just so happy to have any rain at all! It was wonderful hearing it roll through during the night and
even nice to walk around the yard this morning while it was still sprinkling...
It felt so good!!! ☺
