Poppies in my garden...
I thought I'd take another try at a vegetable garden this year. I got it in a little late, so not sure how things will grow. I like growing radishes - they are super easy!! I looovee fresh radishes - nothing like right out of the garden with some salt ...mmmm. I guess if nothing else grows, at least I got these fresh radishes!
These kittens are really starting to take over the back porch - now that they know we feed them, they come running as soon as we open the door! They are quite entertaining! This little black and white gal is my favorite. I find it so neat how these cats just lay on top of each other - all 7 of them are tangled up in the group picture!
I thought I'd try some unique rain shots - tricky to get what I wanted, but that is the learning process!
Made this tote bag a couple months ago, but had to finish hand sewing one seam on the inside. Finally got to it this week. I love this fabric - it's so fun and colorful - I had planned on making this bag from fabric I already had, but when I saw this pink and green fabric, I knew it would be perfect for this bag. And I knew the colors would be perfect for the young lady I made it for, my daughter, who also happens to love bags, anything she can put more stuff in!!!
On this evening, I got out my tripod and figured I'd play a little with the vehicle lights going by on the highway. This is actually the view from the upstairs deck of my house, zoomed in of course. The Calgary Tower is on the left side, partially behind a tree and directly in the middle of the downtown skyline is the new building called the Bow, that is being built - the construction lights on that thing are amazingly bright as we can see them from Chestermere! Not sure how those who live downtown aren't blinded at night! And of course, behind the city skyline is our beautiful Rocky Mountains which I love at this time of night when they are silhouetted against a pink sky.
This wet and rainy spring has made it really hard to keep my two WHITE dogs clean! This one is low to the ground, so it's not just her paws that get wet, but her belly usually too. And of course, down on the farm, there is lots of dirt/mud of which this particular white dog seems to like! What a mess!! Straight into the kennel to dry off! Looks like she had fun!
It must be spring because the lilacs in our yard are blooming and smell wonderful! I couldn't resist trying to get photos of them - it was tough this evening as the wind was blowing a bit, so the blossoms were moving around.
It would have been a good thing if this book lasted a little longer since I am laid up with my injured ankle. I picked this book off the shelf not knowing who the author was or having heard about this story, but the story sounded original and good, so I picked it up. It was a fantastic book that I will recommend to my reading friends - it was a sad topic, but written well & so full of interest that you never wanted to put it down. I have nothing waiting in the wings, so I guess I will have to get out to Chapters soon - I should make myself finish all the magazines I have sitting around before that, however.
