Gardening Issues

Does anyone have any idea how to deal with this???

Welcome to the Jungle!

Because I’m a little at a loss. Except for sitting down and weeding them all out, which would take days….

Roasted Shallots

I’ve never made shallots before, and I’m about to use them in 2 recipes for dinner on Saturday. I thought I would try roasting one first, just to see what it tasted like. Mostly, like onions.

This is also going to be my first time having one of my priests over for dinner. We will be a party of five. I hope I learn how to cook between now and then! 🙂

Teaser Photo

Here’s just one of the many, many pictures that I took over the weekend.  I do not have a great zoom, and was sitting quite high in the stands, so the picture is a little fuzzy (digital zoom will do that).

It was amazing!  It was great!  I need a thesaurus for my superlative adjectives!

One day, when I am no longer tired, I may write more on this.  For now, I have a mountain of things to get done in the office!

Rate My Photo

So, a while ago I was randomly at this photography site.  I don’t know if I was there to see if I wanted to store some pictures online or what, but there was a thing where you could submit a photo to them, and I grabbed whatever was handy, which happened to be a picture of the intersection of Big Beaver and Livernois, taken around midnight when I was out walking.  Then, I got notices that they wanted to publish my photo, and they send me releases and things like that, so sure!  Haha.  After that, they want me to buy things to “commemorate my achievement.”  No, no.  Now, by all means, if you like it, publish it — that’s kind of cool.  And, maybe, eventually, if I have the money, I might buy the book it will be published in.  But, I’m not going to buy things just to inflate my ego.  It’s not even a very good picture!

But now, they have sent me this thing where I can have people rank my photograph, and they sent me a link to it.  So, since I haven’t quite determined what I’m going to do about webhosting so that I can share my pix with all of you (because a) I love to take pictures and b) I love to share), I’ll pass along the link, so that you can at least take a look at one of my pix.  Enjoy!

Spring Lake Vacation

Seth and I took a vacation to the west side of the state to visit our friend, Ryan.

We visited with his pets, Felix:

The house was beautiful:

We even got to see tiny little frogs down by the dock! 🙂

We made a quick trip up to the Frederick Meijer Gardens, where they had some orchids on display:

I’m pretty sure we took a bunch more pictures with our film cameras; I just haven’t scanned them in yet. 🙂
