I have a message for you

It looks to me as though Donalyn isn’t going to post a blog entry today. She is bouncing around from one thing to another like a pinball and not accomplishing much of anything at all. I was just passing by the computer, so I thought I would hop on here and give you all a heads up. I did hear her muttering something about a recipe for some kind of bread and something smells really good, but there is no telling if she will actually get around to posting that, given her present rate of speed. In any case – have a great Saturday. Now I am going back to my seeds – have a good day!

Here’s the thing

The trouble with getting new camera is that all you want to do is take more photos. This has the tendency to make you lose track of time and then you suddenly discover that it is nearly time to go to work and you don’t have as much time as you would like to get some of those photos up on your blog.

So you have to pick one that you really like and be satisfied with it for now. This is a valiant Black-Eyed Susan bloom that has retained a bit of its former beauty. With the exception of cropping and resizing, this is straight out of the camera.

I may be back with more – I am working half a day so I might have time to post a few more. Thanks for all the Twitters about the new toy yesterday – I got a huge kick out of that!

A late day addition

I wanted to let you know about a really cool idea on Chuck Westbrook’s blog. It is a way to help get some traffic to under-appreciated blogs and maybe even get some traffic of your own eventually. I think he is on to something – go check him out.

Also – the new camera is here. So far, it is everything I was hoping for. Now I have to go and take a bunch of pictures of nothing. :) Have a great evening.

Can I get a big "WooooHoooo"?

Can you feel it? You might have to stand kind of still and hold your breath. Oh my. Or, you could check the UPS tracking site and see this:Woohooo because it will be here later today! Uh-Oh because I have to do errands this morning and work at the Food Pantry at church this afternoon. There is a 2 hour window in the middle when I would be home to sign for a package. You know I can’t let Riley do it. What are the chances UPS will get here then?I guess I can wait until Friday if I have to. Isn’t it the purtiest thing you ever saw?

Just passing through

We have had hundreds of migratory robins breezing through for the last week. This one is probably in the Carolinas by now. Good thing too – it’s cold out this morning!
