This little guy is a house guest until he forms his chrysalis. He's from school, and we're out for the summer, so he's home with me for a while. Then I'll plant the Milkweed to attract more Monarch butterflies.

Day 159 - June 8

We had a retirement dinner for 3 teachers tonight. This little lady didn't want anyone at our table to hold her, until she saw this young man. They both just laughed and giggled and then she just planted a big ole kiss on him! Meant to be???

Day 158 - June 7

One of our fine math teachers explaining how he got hired to teach the young math minds of our county...this is his wife assisting. It's actually a funny little aside we had while preparing for summer school..one of those 'you had to be there' things!

Day 157 - June 6

This little donkey was at Bluestone Retreat. The kids were feeding him and his pal carrots and apples this morning. I just loved his eyes...it looked like someone had drawn eyelashes under his eyes!!

Day 156 - June 5

The chicks are gone...we were a little sad to say good-bye. We delivered them to an Amish Farm on Sandstone Mountain....but on the way out, we just had to to have these wonderful (and delicious) strawberries!!

Baby pictures! I shot Carrie and Grant's engagement pics, their wedding pics and now family pics! I love it! We met up at the capital and shortly after this shot the skies opened up and it poured the rain. We got soaked, but I managed to get a few good shots in!

Day 150 - May 30

The chicks are back....and they aren't very chickish! They have grown quite a bit. Is there a special name for teenage chicks?

This little guy is all tuckered out! He played all day and never had a nap, but finally couldn't keep his eyes open one more minute!

I went to the Farmer's Market today to get a few more plants for my garden. I love going there this time of year...so many flowers and plants!

Day 142 - May 22

I have been chomping at the bit to get my garden in. We have had rain almost everyday this month...finally, a few flowers are in the ground!

Day 141 - May 21

Apple cake, anyone?

Day 140 - May 20

Sick of the chicks yet? They are on a little hiatus from school for a while, so there will be a little chick break for about a week. They were getting too big and starting to fly a little, so one of the aids took them home until we make our "Chick Trip" in a few weeks. This is where we take the kids camping to deliver the chicks to an Amish family.

Day 138 -May 18

This is Phoebe, Amie's cat

Day 137 - May 17

We still have the chicks!!!

Day 136 - May 16

I'll bet I have driven past this old tracker for years and never noticed it. I think Project 365 has made more observant. If the grass ever gets cut, I'll try to get closer, it was mighty high. Anyway, it's not in the woods, it's sitting right in a field on a busy, main drag between a church and beauty shop!

Day 134 - May 15

Actually, yesterday came and went before I realized I never took a picture! Today...busy, too. But as I was sitting in my living room trying to think of something clever I thought of my ceiling fan at which I was vacantly staring! So I played around with F-stops a little!
