they say work with what you have..



I have eggs. They are pretty good subjects, they don't smile but they do sit still and they don't talk back. I'm thinking of making Easter cards from my own photos of my own eggs. I'm partial to the warmer version. But I'm always partial to the warmer one, no matter what the picture is.

ain't no sunshine when she's gone


Stopped for coffee on my way out of town to go see my Grandmother in the hospital. It was the only thing that went right all day. The day was grey, and foggy, and cold.

And cruel.

At 88, she has been diagnosed with cancer, and quite a bit of it. The doctors give her maybe a month. Grandma has not been healthy for a very very long time. Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Congestive Heart Failure. We are not shocked to know she is dying, but we are little surprised by what is the final blow. We are shedding our selfish tears for our loss, and we are shedding not so selfish tears for my Grandfather, who is not ready to let go.

photos from the fridge.

The fridge makes a heck of a good light box. Top shelf only other light source is the crummy ceiling fan light.

Why am I taking photos in my fridge anyway? Looky at my very first green egg!!! All my new chickens are supposed to lay a variety of colors. I get tan with brown speckles for one hen, green from another and everyone else lays peachy pink. No one lays blue. I think I need more chickens.. hubby thinks I'm nuts.
