My Little Pony is 25?!
I couldn’t believe it when I opened my Happy Meal. Inside the usually-worthless little plastic bag which seems to be designed to frustrate kids and parents everywhere, I found this…
Beaming Sunset
Have you ever seen those pictures where the sun is rising or setting with bright, contrasty beams of light coming out from its center? I’ve seen plenty of them, and I thought they were neat, but I had no idea that it actually occurred in nature. It’s always relaxing to sit out at the lake, [...]
The Determined Snail
Sometimes the little things in life are the most inspiring. Take, for instance, this little snail I saw at Walmart. This little guy was lifting a plant pot on his back and moving it across the tank. It took him over 5 minutes because it kept swaying back and forth, but eventually he made it. [...]
Birthday Goodies
I am often surprised at the neat gifts people give me. This year, the most unusual present I received was a garden gnome. There’s just something about garden gnomes that makes me smile. And you can’t go wrong with a gnome sitting on a frog. Or at least that’s how I feel. Hubby begs to [...]
Rainforest Photos

Pretty Red Tulips

Kitten caught her tail
Happy moment of the day: “Look what I caught!” I took this a few weeks ago on my in-laws’ front porch, but since I was going through my old downloaded pictures anyway…

Design Police are here!
Happy moment of the day: an awesome website! Okay, I know I’m overdue for a “real” entry, but I just couldn’t resist sharing. While searching far and wide for some decent Flash tutorials, I stumbled across this awesome website: http://www.design-police.org/ They have printable stickers such as: Legible from space Please do not use WordArt(tm) Good [...]
Big Fish
Happy moment of the day (and proof of the existence of the Red Sweater itself): How’s this for a catch on a day the Farmer’s Almanac said would be bad fishing? You guessed it, we took the boat out on the lake again this weekend. Hey, when it’s 70 degrees with a soft cool breeze [...]
