Day 139 (504)


Fascination!

This lone bike was parked behind the dugout at the ballpark last night.  I must have taken 20 pictures just of this bike - waiting for the light to be just right.  This one was my favorite.  It makes me smile.  A true sign of a pretty good photo in my book.  (:

Hippie Potions and Lotions

Fun day today.  The past several days have been spent getting things done before we leave for Florida.  My business is the most organized it has ever been.  This morning I cleared my custom order board and mailed out all pending orders.  Late this morning I headed for the kitchen and created some wo nderful lotions. The pretty peppermint jars contain "Peppermint Perfection", a luscious hand balm that has a heavenly peppermint scent. The "Green Stuff" is a boo-boo salve.  It works great on cuts, burns, very dry skin and it stops bug bites from itching. And the pretty lotion in the middle is "Mara's Magical Moisturizer" which I created for my granddaughter to help relieve some of her dry skin caused by eczema.  This is a new and improved version.  I am hoping this will work even better than the last batch.

The Witch's Hat... Stumbled across this quite by mistake today.  It took a little bit of four wheel driving to get up to the top of the hill due to MORE fresh snow overnight.  After a slippery walk up a bunch of steps and a snowy hill there was the most fabulous view of the beautiful city of Minneapolis.  This landmark is known as the "Witch's Hat".  This water tower was built in 1913 and sits in Prospect Park which is the highest natural spot in the city. With the lamp post in the foreground doesn't this remind you of Narnia -- The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe?

Beauty is in the eye... With too many people obsessing about the horrible events in the past day or so I am choosing to see the beauty in our country.  I'm not sticking my head in the sand but I am so very tired of all the horrible news that is being shared on Facebook.   Life is hard enough without creating fear and apprehension in our lives because of something that happened across the country.  Something the media has put some "terrorist" twist on. Yes, these events are worrisome but I can't live my life being held hostage to someone else's fears.  Or someone else's spin on world events. My plan is to continue this blog to show there is beauty (and a bit of humor) in every thing - we just need to see it.  Because it IS there.  By the way, this is a mushroom that baked in the sun. It still has a unique beauty to it.
