Day 262 (627)


One from the past.

This photo was taken last year on this date.  I seriously need to feel better and get out of here to take some photos.  I am amazed that we do NOT have this much leaf color yet this year.  It is a pretty picture though.

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

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?

  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.
