Where I Stand Sunday - A Day to Remember

I have been waiting for these irises to open and this morning - there they are!
To all my family, and friends...
And most importantly to MY MOM..
she gets to go home for a few hours today.
Being gone from your home with hardly any connection except the people who stay there
for five + weeks is a long time to be away at any age.
I am happy for her. Hope she soon gets to go home and stay there!

More of Sunday

It was time for some new photos while the weather was still good.
My meeting on Sunday was in Beloit, Kansas at Joyce and Ken's house in the country. They own a landscape and greenhouse business in town.
We took some walks around the acreage to see the sights.

This is their pond, complete with Koi. They are getting this area ready for a wedding in June. To the right is a free standing screened in porch area and in the back is their garage which is an old schoolhouse moved onsite long ago. It still has chalkboards in it. So cute!


Many properties have these old pieces of farm equipment and machinery.
This one is a really neat old combine.


Down by the creek, the shadows were long. Time for a self-portrait.


On the drive home, I stopped by to see the harvest work going on where hubster was working and driving from there, saw this large flock of wild turkey crossing the road, there were probably triple that amount, but by the time the camera was out, this was the tailend of the group. This is out the windshield and a little impromptu and hurried, but you get the idea. I stopped and listened to them trickle on through the woods doing their little turkey calls.


And from the section road just a mile from my house, this great Kansas sunset! Ahhh, the perfect end to a perfect day!

Not the Same Feeling

Used to be - Sunday night would come and I got this knot in my stomach. Had to get to bed at a decent time, make sure my work that I had brought home was complete and together, make sure my clothes were ready to wear in the morning. "Early retirement" is not for everyone, but I sure like it! Started painting the west exterior of the house today, then it rained, then it got like a "sauna" outside, so will try again in the morning. We are looking forward to seeing what the new color is going to look like. Will post before and after photos soon, I hope.

Adventures in Pyrography

 Last year about this time, I purchased a cheapo woodburning set and some little wood pieces and tried my hand at woodburning.  I made a few...
