Pink and Red Day

This entire entryway deserved attention today, not just the door. Isn't this Victorian style inviting? I love how the lilac bush drapes over the left, creating a cozy area within. This was an easy find:).
This red panel was actually part of an old postal box. The entire box was interesting, but the panel needed it's own recognition.

Another find from the street fair, I don't normally look at pink things. I'm just not a "pink" girl, I guess. But the glass caught the light and I just knew it would be just right for color week.

The irresistable pink frog drew my eye, and the fact that she was reading just made my day! Let's promote literacy in any way we can. I was even thinking this would be a great writing prompt for kids.

This is such a typical picture at my house. Meesha is a "helper." Especially when flowers are involved. The only flowers she hasn't dug up or dragged around the house have been the lilacs I've cut for the table. There must be a toxin she recognizes. Here I had been toying with a lovely pink idea, when she foiled my efforts. And sometimes those make the best photos!


Have a color-filled day!

I love that red panel from the postal box. The color is just gorgeous.

As for helpers, I totally understand. It's a rare moment when I take photos and none of my four helpers are in the images (unless they're contained somehow). I love that shot of Meesha and the flowers. Reminds me of my Dollie and all her "help", lol.

100 Blessings

It's funny how a project takes on a life of its own. I started out making a list of things I'd like to take pictures of - piles of M&M's, rocks on the beach, license plates hanging on an old garage door. Then I decided it would be interesting to find 100 items about "me," celebrating my 100th post with items about me/my life/etc. This way I could tie my compulsion to blog in to my theme. So, I started THAT list. And when I was done I decided all the things I was collecting, ideas as well as items, were actually blessings. Things about my life that make me who I am and allow me to keep striving to be the best I can be at what I do. Each activity isn't necessarily a blessing, it's my ability to do the things I love to do, and be with the people I love to be with. This became an introspective activity, and that's probably where I am in my life right now. If the shoe fits..., so to speak. So, welcome to my 100th Post ! Without everyone I've met thr

Macro Monday + One

With a little help from my friend (+1=not macro, though taken with my macro lens) Things I Love About Summer (in no particular order, though I see food appears higher on the list than does exercise.) Picnics Fresh fruit Fresh vegetables Celebrations Fireworks Family reunions Quiet, country mornings Showy meadows Gentle rains Thunder storms Family gatherings Children's laughter at dusk The sound of dogs barking Windows open Gently blowing curtains Big puffy clouds Being warm Sandals The smell of fresh cut grass The sound of lawn mowers Sitting on the porch reading Time The colors Flowers GREEN Leaves on the trees Adventures Photo ops Waves on the beach Ice cream Long walks Riding bikes Having church outside at the pavilion Camping Boating Fairs Sunrise and Sunsets The Great Lakes I'm sure this isn't the entire list, but it's a good start. It could also become a "things I'm grateful for" list, as well. We need to take time periodically to reflect on all t

Restoration in the Works!

  The Ammi Wright House.  Built 1888.         Our town has some pretty remarkable older homes and businesses.  Many have already been restored and are residences and/or businesses.   We went to a meeting the other night which focused on how to go about restoring a beautiful old lumber Barron's home - the Ammi Wright house, just off the main street. It has been empty for a great many years and needs a lot of work to bring it back to life.  But this group of people can do it.   The building itself is already purchased as part of an agreement with the Gratiot Area Historical Society.  Located in a nearby town, they have purchased it and Alma will be part of this system.  We are now forming committees for all the areas which need to be addressed, including historical research, fundraising, publicity, etc.  Lots of work, and lots of interest.  There is a steering committee in place, and we all signed up for an area we feel comfortable helping with.  Mine is research, which is no surpris
