Day 162 (527)


Freak of Nature?

This can be seen from the window.  At first I thought it was something crawling up the tree.  I grabbed my camera and stood in the middle of the yard and zoomed in as much as I could.  Turns out it is just some kind of fungus?  (:  If anyone knows what this is please let me know.

Hippie Potions and Lotions

Image
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. Not in this photo is the body wash I made.  Super rich and its wonderful smell is peppermint and sweet orange. The fun

  Laugh out loud moment...   Today was a crazy busy day and time to take any photos just hadn't happened.  While in the shower I came up with this idea.  Yes, a quiet moment to myself and I'm trying to come up with a photo idea.  Whatever!   The laugh out loud moment of this whole scenario was the behind the scenes hilarity.  First, it was REALLY steamy in the bathroom which made my lens on my camera fog up (duh!) and I couldn't keep it clear for very long.  Second, I couldn't wear my glasses for the same reason so this was shot half blind.  And third, I was trying to turn the bulbs in the light so I had a little less BRIGHT light while wrapped in a towel.  I'll just leave the third item at that.  I'm pretty sure all of you have great imaginations.  ha!   Someone posted on Facebook to make sure to have a laugh out loud moment today. I'm so glad I have no problem laughing out loud - at myself.

Day 269 (634)

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.
