The sun came out and it made it up to 70 degrees today! Then I spotted them, tiny little yellow bits of color. Yes, the crocuses are finally here. Spring may actually be on it’s way.
While I was crawling around on the ground I saw the thumb sized kale plant
And a brussel sprout plant that has not made any brussels but never mind this post isn’t about calling out freeloaders.
It was a great day to be pouring concrete yesterday.
I saw the sun reflecting on the water and then I saw it, the mixer backed up to the pump, pumping to a another pump on a barge, pumping to another pump on another barge, pumping it to the pier they were pouring!
Then I spotted all the mixers lined up waiting their turn.
Currently this is the bridge to get across the Tennessee river. I’d love to shoot from that bridge but it’s so busy with so much traffic and as each vehicle passes over it the bridge wiggles so I wouldn’t get a clear photo.
I talked to some old guys in the fishing access parking lot and they said there had been mixers lined up since the first light of dawn.
When I came back by after dark there were still a row of mixer headlights waiting in line. I didn’t stop for more photos as it had started to rain.
This happened.
Two nights ago we had perfect snowman making snow so my neighbor and I made a couple snowmen.
Yeah that’s all.
Oh and then we had to run back to my house for the camera and tripod to get a photo of our handiwork before it melted.
Happy valentines day!
I made these from a box so No recipe today. If I made them from a recipe I wouldn’t have put any food coloring in and then there would’nt be red in the red velvet.
Super easy to make these Kale egg sausage bites!
I did not measure any thing, just threw stuff in a bowl. I’m getting like my mother.
I know I used
about 5 eggs
about 1/2 cup of blanched frozen kale because someone ate all the fresh stuff up last night in her salad!
about 1/4 cup of cooked sausage crumbled
about 1/4 cup cooked basmati rice
and salt and pepper to taste.
Baked it at 350 in little tiny muffin pans for um, I have no idea. I never really looked at the clock, I just took them out when they were getting golden around the edges.
The good news is a lot of my old photos were recovered from the broken harddrive!
The good news is a lot of my old photos were recovered! The bad news is I’ve been looking at them and scaring myself. I know I’m my own worst critic but c’mon, what is the focus of this photo? The one egg with no paprika on it? Nothing is really in focus except the bottom of the pan. Today I’d throw this out.
This one I dislike for two reasons, 1, the flash was used and didn’t help. I could easily have moved it near the window and it would’ve looked 100thousand times better.
2, the cup cake dead center is in focus and that generally only looks good on portraits. Ah hah! it was a cupcake portrait!
This one isn’t too terrible or I’m just trying to be nice to my former self and don’t want her to quit.
Yeah, keep practicing and learning from it. eventually you’ll learn to see the light. Obviously I didn’t have that part down yet.
High five for these cookies, there’s a nice feel about this photo.
If you have just started do not be afraid to take bad photos the more you shoot the more you learn. Someone said your first 10,000 photos are your worst. For me it may have been my first 40,000.
