Check it out here!

Friday, June 1, 2012

(this was taken about 10am in the morning on a June day a couple of years ago. We had just filled the pool the day before...and he simply COULD NOT wait to get in. It was cold...his teeth are chattering.)

Day 2 - Empty

(or nearly empty....hardly anyone at the pool today)

Day 3 - On My Plate

(birthday dinner at Cheddars)

Day 4 -- Close Up

(it's actually red and ready to be picked...this was taken a few days ago)

Day 5 - Sign

It's hard to read...best pic I could get..but you know when people post pictures of funny signs, and you wonder if it's real and how they found them...well, this one is as real as it gets. There has been a subdivision in various stages of construction since we moved here 4.5 yrs ago...this sign and another one at the other corner just happened to catch my eye the other day. The last bullet point says "Funished Model"...not Furnished, or Finished.... but FUNished.

Pirate Police?

(need I say more??)

Day 8 - Six o'clock

Day 9 - My View of the Day

Suffice it to say I had a pretty crappy weekend, no thanks to the way it began on Friday morning. It just went downhill from there.

Day 10 - Best Bit of the Weekend

The best bit is that I wasn't seriously injured by Silverado that rear-ended me on Friday AND that my children were not with me at the time. Nice, huh?

(my scripture bag)

Day 18 - Something We Don't Know About You

THE ONLY FLAG THAT DOESN'T FLY

THE ONLY FLAG THAT DOESN'T FLY

Between the fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles of flower
fields that go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed
companies. It's a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB. Check out
the dimensions of the flag. The Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet
wide and maintains the proper Flag dimensions, as described in Executive
Order #10834. This Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be
planted with 5 pointed Stars, comprised of White Larkspur. Each Star is
24 feet in diameter; each Stripe is 30 feet wide. This Flag is estimated to
contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants, with 4-5 flower stems each,
for a total of more than 2 million flowers.
For our soldiers....Please don't break it

When you see this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our
servicemen.
