Wordless Wednesday

A thing of beauty, indeed.

My very first home grown tomato.

In the excitement I'm having a hard time leaving it on the vine to totally turn red.

I will be strong, I will be strong.

Is it snow? Hail?

Or, be still my heart, could it be raining diamonds?

Nope, just the sun shining through HUGE drops of rain as it fell.

When you're a hard working pooch following your master around all morning

sometimes you just have to lay your weary head where you can

A spot where you can keep your eye on your master is most fortuitous, just so he doesn't leave without you

Tell Me Thursday

Yesterday I learned of a fun site called Tell Me Thursday. It's a place that two moms started because they wanted to know the stories behind some of the Wordless Wednesday pictures. Imagine my surprise when they asked me to make a post telling me the story behind my photo from yesterday. What fun!

Well, the story behind my photo basically stems back to the crazy decision we made the Christmas before last to hand a 16 year old boy his very own camera. Life has not been the same since. Nothing is sacred and no one, not even four footed, furry family members, are safe. You never know what unflattering thing you might be doing that will not be caught on camera with a well planned, stealth-like ambush. Close ups and zoom shots seem to be the feature of choice with this boy.

So in this particular shot, Muffin was just relaxing on the back of the love seat minding her own business, when in the blink of an eye, a few inches from her nose, appeared an apparently vicious piece of plastic with a missing hand known as a dinosaur. But Miss Muffin is starting to know her master well, and just gave that vicious monster the stare down while patiently waiting for the camera flash.

So that's the story behind Muffin and the Big, Scary Dino. Thanks ladies, that was fun. For more of yesterday's featured pictures and the stories behind them, you can visit TMT here. Or if you did a Wordless Wednesday and would like to join in, here are the directions on how you can participate!

Okay, not so wordless here but last week when I posted pictures of hoar frost, so many commented that they'd never seen it or even heard of it. So I thought I'd add a few more, just because it makes me smile inside when I see it.

Anyone care to guess what causes this beauty to unfold?

The answer to above question is: freezing fog that rolls in in the wee hours of the morning. Who knew that fog freezing to objects could hold such beauty! God is the most talented and creative artist of all!

A picture my daughter drew a couple years ago. She swears it's not me but I don't know about that. It's pretty representative of me when I'm frazzled. I definitely had that look yesterday!
