Good day, all.
I got up late this morning and cut the grass, and other yard work, did a load of laundry, took a show, cut my hair, etc., etc., etc., Here it is 3 pm. How come it takes me half the day to do chores now?
Patty, what a pretty house in such a nice setting. Today when I went outside to start my chores, I thought about how i used to sit out on our back patio and read books, but not anymore. The reason is that I am not a sun worshipper and I used to have a nice three-seater swinger with a canopy that gave me the shade that I loved. But that is long gone and it's too bloody hot and sunny out there. No trees big enough to provide us shade either. But, Patty, I sure would be sitting on that porch reading a book and doing other things, like just gazing out at beautiful Mother Earth.
Dave, You are brave and dedicated to walk under those conditions. I hear how bad your heat wave is going to be this weekend. Stay hydrated. That beautiful lily will probably not last long with the heat and lack of water. You captured it well in the morning sunlight.
Rich, The photo was worth the risk. That sure is a nice still life, with the relic truck, flowers and gas pump. I bet you weren't the first to drop in to take a photograph.
In a few months, our club has the challenge of turning a photo into a sketch. I was playing around with this photo that I took this morning using TOPAZ. I am not sure if I like this enough to consider it a contender because maybe it is not sketchy enough. But I thought I would share it in today's daily.
