Life on Thursday

OK, I'm confused. I know that's nothing new but I saved this post yesterday and I uploaded several pictures from my phone for the post.

Today, I can't find the post nor most of the pictures! If I remember I'll upload them again.

Thursday was a busy day on the road all day!

I took the morning off from working out. It's always nice to get a break from working out AND it's always nice to get the daily things done around here early.

At 11 I had a dental appointment to get my teeth cleaned. That went well, I have a filling that needs to be redone. Great thing ... this dentist put it in so he'll replace it free.

I get done at the dentist then rush ... lead foot it to the school, for G's school assembly. He'd earned an exemplary level on this state reading test last year and was getting a medal for that today at 12:30. There's a picture of this floating around somewhere of this!?!?

I get to come home for a few minutes where I love to walk in my front door because I get to walk through this wonderful fall confetti, it just makes me smile. My burning bushes usually don't have time to burn really well, but this year there hasn't been that much wind and the weather has been perfect for them! They've been beautiful this year. I absolutely love the piles of burned leaves!

I run back to school to pick up G. Run him to the Dentist to get his teeth cleaned ... NO cavities!

Then on the drive home we experience the most beautiful sunset.

Wordless Wednesday:Sunset

Snowbow

Today hubby called home on his way home to tell

us to put our sunglasses on and look at the sun.

there was a Snowbow.

Can you see it?

it's there on both sides of the sun

way out at the edges of the picture.

We shot this shot through hubby's polarized sunglasses

and you can see the bow is larger.

In reality the bow would have gone all the way around the sun.

Pretty cool, huh?

G's $ from his vegetable stand at the Garage sale. He sold out of tomatoes very quickly. He then picked peppers off of Stephanie's plant, sold out of those. He went to the neighbor's Thursday night and got some peppers and cucumbers from them to sell along with his barely ripe cherry tomatoes for Friday. Friday's sunset

SPT ~ Sun

This is a fun program that I've watched for several months (since before I was blogging) and have really enjoyed seeing other's talent and creativity. I don't pretend to be the same category as any of them but I wanted to play along.

It will always be a challenge for me to do the "S"

in Self Portrait Tuesday (SPT) but I'll work on that.

july 1 sun
july 8 water
july 15 shade

Tonight's sunset

(Ah, the shadowy self, just the way I like it)

When I think of the Sun I think of the beautiful sunsets that happen right out of my kitchen window. I usually catch them as I'm fixing supper or cleaning up after supper.

I love living where I get to see the most beautiful sunsets. They mean a lot to me, being able to have just a quite moment of seeing nature at its best.

Last night's sunset

Mom Taxi up and going......

After a much needed rest the MOM TAXI is on the go again!

Today was the greatly anticipated start of Track season and G's first soccer practice.

I picked G up at school at 3:20 drove 40 minutes to the Track meet. Watched W long jump, he did great but didn't place, left at 5:30 headed back to our town. Got G to his soccer practice, watched, filled up with gas ($3.12), got a text from W that he'd placed 2nd in the triple jump (I missed it!), drove back to the track meet to watch W run in the 4x400 (placed 6th). He seems to do better without me there! Got home at 9:30!




Along with watching my boys doing their favorite things, I got an extra bonus ~ there was a 'sun spot'! It didn't last long but I 'caught it'.

Beautiful Leap Day!

This is the Beautiful Sunset from last night, and it lead right into an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day. The temp got to upper 50's, bright sunshine, gentle breeze. I just couldn't have asked for a better February leap Day!

Back to the sunset -- I am blessed to live in a place that has some of the most amazing Sunsets. Even more blessed that my kitchen window faces the West so I can view the sight as I fix supper. Sometimes supper is moved back so I can go out to snap some pictures of the sunset. Then I print them out and tape them on the inside of my cabinet doors for those days when the weather isn't so good.

Leap Day - Our van turned 2 today -- 8 years ago we purchased our Dodge Grand Caravan on Leap day. Isn't Leap day powerful -- this one little day stuck right at the end of February every 4 years keeps the universe in order! What a powerful day!
