Bits 'O This & That

Good morning friends!


In a bit I will be taking CountryBoy's truck to the shop for Phase 3 of fixing all the issues.  (I will do a past on all that we had done to it.)  This is going to be a major, time-consuming task (and probably quite expensive but still cheaper than a new truck!).

To kill the time, my sister-in-law is graciously coming to pick me up and we are going to head over to Kingman, AZ.  We will probably find a Hobby Lobby there, check out other shopping opportunities that we don't have in Bullhead and we will definitely stop at Cracker Barrel for some good 'ole country cookin' (and a bit of shopping at the country store!).

Yesterday, I tried to update the blog a bit... change the layout, add some things, remove some things and change the font.  For some reason, the fonts would not change.  They would change in the design area but not on the blog itself.  Frustrating.  I'm not totally pleased with the look yet so I will try again another day.  Maybe Blogger was having a bad day!

In other news, my tomato plant that I started from seed in an empty kitty litter bucket (using what was on hand) has some blooms on it, yay!


Two more blooms have appeared since this photo was taken.  I'm excited and hoping we'll get some nice tomatoes from this plant.

It's a far cry from the garden I planted last year while at home but hey, at least this is something and I've enjoyed nurturing and watching it grow.

Have you got any veggies growing?

Till next time,

Checking the Crops

The other night Country Boy went out to check his crops so I decided to accompany him with my camera in hand.  We had just had an awesome day of rain so I was sure that there would be something out there to photograph!

This is what I saw through my lens...




























I think this is a female dragonfly simply because it looks like she has lipstick on!  Just sayin'!  This dragonfly is on our poor apple tree.  We planted it a couple of years ago and it's only about 5 or 6 feet tall and has not produced any fruit yet.  The poor tree is constantly putting out new leaves because the deer seem to think the leaves are quite yummy!

The original photo of this Dianthus was not all that great so I added two Kim Klassen textures...KKpourvous and KKStainedLinen.  If you love textures, check out her button on my sidebar and sign up for her weekly Freebies!  Great stuff!

I hope you are having a great weekend!  

Till next time,
