You know I have precious little to say – I get up, go to work, come home, sleep, and the next day it all starts over again. So, this is the most exciting thing to happen to me in the last three weeks, I guess. Sad, huh?
Tuesday morning I came out of the master bath, using the same path I’ve used several times a day for the last 7 or so years. I’ve always managed to do so without slamming my toes into the chest of drawers, but yesterday, the perfect streak ended. (See 1st photo). Only today it is purple all the way up, but I can’t get a picture that isn’t too white. So use your imagination. (Ed. Note: Such as it is, see 2nd photo).
Tuesday is my 13-hour day, right? So halfway through my very long shift, I thought “Hey! Ric has a cell phone w/camera! (Duh!) Maybe I can get some sympathy!" So I took said picture and sent it off.
I got the sympathy, and a return photo. (See 3rd photo). But I was at the front desk when I got his picture, and laughing so hard, the residents wanted to know what I was talking about. So half a dozen or so special residents got to see it too! I think I might have cut my life short a bit by sharing that photo, but it was worth it! ;)
What is Pyridoxine Dependency
Last but not least - Butternut Squash
No blossoms yet, but I'm still hoping!
Sweet Peas
A cool weather plant, but with proper shade and plenty of water, this heat has caused it to burst out the top of this piece of garden structure. Beautiful!
Godetia
Pretty, with peach, pink and raspberry all coming on the same plant
Again, spring
These flowers are gone for now :(
Spring, of course
But this rhody was gorgeous this year

I love this
The gorgeous vine maple in the North Garden
I love this! - It starts in July. It's just reaching to the level of the bottom of our bathroom window. One more year and it should actually COVER our bathroom window, which was the reason I planted it so many years ago!
View from the swing
Lookin' pretty good, huh??

Darcy thinks this picture is worthy of the Pampered Chef catalog!
Happy Birthday Gabe!

A rare moment - Su in arms!
Do we have to wait for dark? Daytime fireworks
TJ - I can't lay my hands on a pic of daddy, but take my word for it - he looks like a clone!
Taylor had a ton of fun with my digital voice recorder
After doing makeup all day at work, Courtney still hadn't had enough. You like my new look? Ok - just kidding! I didn't realize what she was doing to me until it was all done. No wonder she was laughing all the way through!

Wow! Is it broken?
Dad's sympathy is so sweet.
Hannah just saw the picture of your toe and she gasped and was in the midst of some sensitive and thoughtful comment when she caught sight if the pic of grandpa and contracted a severe case of the giggles. :)
Not broken - almost no pain. Today! Yesterday I limped most of the day. I think it was basically jammed. Hannah's reaction was exactly what I was looking for! :) Although I fear I have taken my blog-life in my hands. I think dad is looking for revenge! :(
Is this where I get my propensity to stub my toes? I rack my foot at least once a week. Why is dad taking a picture of him self constipated?
That's his sympathy face. I guess. He didn't say anything about constipation. You're a goof! And no, you don't get your propensity from me. As I said in the blog, I've been traversing that narrow passageway safely for 7-8 years without incident.
Dude, you look just like Aaron, only older.
