Just a few thoughts I feel worthy of jotting down!

May 29th: “Pink and Green”
I have a confession….I’m a notorious plant murderer!!! There, I’ve said it! Outdoor plants thrive under my care (cause they don’t depend on me much), but indoor plants are sitting ducks….I tend to either over water or under water them or they hate the spot I pick for them or whatever…..they eventually die – usually sooner rather than later!!!! I’ve even killed multiple philodendrons and I’m told that if I kill plants, that’s what I should get because it’s darned near impossible to kill one! Well……
I have a cactus that has done well for several years now – it is a mix of Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas cactus’ and blooms at least a couple times a year and seems to like where I have it and how much water/attention it gets. Just a week or so ago, I picked up an African Violet…..I transplanted it into a bigger pot than the small plastic pot it came in and here it is! I’ve had African Violets before and they did well for a few years and then suddenly they all just died!!!
So….keep your fingers crossed for this little friend…..she can use all the prayers she can get living with me!

May 27th: “Still Life”
Happy Memorial Day! I was so busy enjoying the day, I completely forgot to get a photo for Monday’s topic! Ooopppsss!!!
May 28th: “Street Corner”
Thanks to our pastor for helping me edit the power lines and pole out of this photo! I took it this morning and loved it, but thought it might be just that much better without all the “stuff” running across the scene!
Here is the original photo – what a difference a little editing will do…..I really need her to tell me what app she uses and show me how to use it!!! 😉

May 26th: “Serenity”
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! On this holiday of remembrance of sacrifice and service, I found myself quietly enjoying the serenity of my little slice of heaven! After church, I gathered with some friends for coffee and fellowship and then planted my raised beds and finished the book our church’s Summer Book Club is reading – “Sensible Shoes”. It was the perfect way to spend the day…..and the perfect topic for the Daily Photo Challenge to mark the day!

May 23rd: “Nostalgia”
My grandmother’s china closet. Most of what is inside belonged to Mom or Grandma and on top is my grandfather’s Seth Thomas mantle clock and the Devonshire dogs that have been passed to the oldest daughter in each generation for several generations!!!

May 18th: “A Shopfront”
The start of my day was here….picking up some samples! From there, I went for an omelet and toast, stopped in at a plant sale at the Cooperative Extension, went to Walmart in both Batavia and Brockport – neither had what I wanted – I really do hate Walmart!!! I dropped the samples off at the church for a meeting tomorrow after worship, went to pick up my cemetery pots and then set them out at our family graves and sprayed all the headstones with cleaner. From there, I came home and mowed the lawn……whew!!! I’ve had quite a day!!! Think I owe myself some time out on the patio with my Kindle!!!

May 17th: “Mid-Day”
I had a lovely day…..went to lunch with a friend and then we both went to visit with another friend! This was taken “Mid-Day” at my friend’s home — she is repurposing this old grain silo into a wonderful space! It is going to be amazing when it’s done — it’s already pretty incredible!
It was a rainy day, but I had such a great time with friends…..and a delicious lunch! Can’t beat that with a stick, can ya???

May 16th: “Street Signs”
I was in Brockport today for an appointment and had lunch (well, it was lunch time, but I actually had eggs and bacon, so was it lunch or breakfast???) at the Brockport Diner. The Main St canal bridge is closed for repairs/restoration, so one of the possible detours takes us over this high, one lane bridge with sharp curves on each side…..so, there is a signal light to aid traffic and a LOT of signs for various things – no parking, restriction of trucks, announcing the sharp curve and the signal light and the one-lane bridge – among other information! As I approached, I instantly decided to pull over and get this shot for today’s topic!
I hope they leave the signal light there — it makes it so much easier to cross this particular bridge — the curves on either side make it very difficult to see on-coming traffic over a one-lane bridge! During the mid-70’s to mid-80’s I lived in Brockport and crossed this bridge from time to time and it always made me nervous – there was no signal light back then!
I love the look of the building on the right side of the photo! So eclectic and “old English” looking! The ivy covering extends this way far beyond what is shown in the photo. Also – on the left side of the street out of view of this photo, is a tired old building that used to be a very popular nightclub called “The High Bridge” — I admit to spending my share of time in there!
Aside from all the power lines and poles, I really love this photo for a variety of reasons!
