I took almost 200 shots today trying to get a few photos for this week's Photo Quest. In addition to the action shots, I took a few that I have had a lot more experience with. Here's the little one year old granddaughter that is in the last photo of the Photo Quest. She is a sweetie!
There was one dandelion in the yard and Hayden found it. He is the other half of the twins.
He did the cutest thing today. We had been on the south side of the garage where the dog food dish was, and he had picked up several pieces of dog food. We told him it was for the doggie and he put it down.
Later we were around on the north side of the garage petting the dog. He walked back around to the dog food dish, picked up a handful of dog food and brought it over to the dog. His mom and I were both impressed that he had made the connection and remembered where the dish was. Pretty good for a 16 month old, I think!
Here's what he looks like most of the time - just going as fast as he can!
Isn't it amazing that the grass is still so nice a green? I can't ever remember when we were still mowing grass at this time of the year.
Here's the twins three year old brother with his mom. This swing hangs in a big walnut tree. The baby swings are in a sycamore tree. It is huge. I want to take a picture of it, but I can't figure out how to put it in perspective.
This is one of my favorite shots from today. It was completely unplanned. The kids were interested in the bark of the walnut tree. They don't have any big trees in their yard.
I have another job interview tomorrow. I sent a resume in to a private school that is looking for a cook. I think it would be a dream job, even though it is over 50 miles away. I don't mind driving and I could always stay with some of the relatives who live in that area if the weather got bad. We will be moving in that direction if/when we sell the farm. I love it out here, but don't know if we will stay forever. It is really nice when the grandkids come out.
I installed some new software on my computer tonight. I've been experimenting with the photo editing program. I didn't do anything to this wildflower except copy and resize. I'm going to have to spend a lot more time working with it to really know what I am doing!
I got one batch of crab apple jelly made this afternoon. It is a very labor-intensive project, but the results are worth it. We had to have several pieces of butter bread with jelly just to make sure it was edible! I worked on one more pan full of apples just to have a head start on tomorrow's batch. I wanted to get a picture of the jars sitting on the window sill of the kitchen, but my camera was upstairs and I was too tired to go get it. I would have made the effort, but I knew I would have another chance tomorrow.
My interview tomorrow is at 9:00 in the morning, so I may not get around to checking my email until after I get home. I'll need to leave the house by 8:00. It really doesn't take that long to get there, but I like to give myself a little wiggle room.
I came down to the city yesterday because my city baby is sick again. He doesn't even want his grammy this time. I haven't taken any pictures so this one is from last month. I have tried growing these in the country, but haven't had much success. May have to try again.
My interview at the hospital is this afternoon. Then I will probably go home. Have to stop somewhere and look for some shutters. And pick up a few groceries.
Talked to hubby this morning. He said it is raining again. That is very unusual for us in July. As a general rule, we get very little rain in July. Bet I will have to pick beans and zucchini when I get home. Can't wait to work on the homespun quilt!
