sitting on the porch in the dark...with a camera...

I love my new star lights...stars are one of my favorite shapes...
viewing the our security light through the birdcage...the city would not put a street light in here at the end of the street and it used to be so dark down here...well 16 years ago we had CIPS put up a security light and we could either put it on our pole or theirs...so we put it on their pole and had him turn it half around so it shines on us and the street...
another star light...I also love rusty metal...with holes...and diffused light...

and then I turned the flash back on and got these...

they look so nice on the porch...I am going to miss them when we plant them in the yard...

but then we will all enjoy them for years to come...

the new dwarf lilac...

have a good night...

we have a tornado watch until 3am...

hopefully...I will sleep through the nasty...

our new additions...

in between the rains...these may get planted this weekend...or next...

Craig picked these up at County Market on his way home today...

I think he did good...he called my from there and we plotted and schemed over the phone...

it worked...

today's playtime...

not a lot going on...

I have talked to Rebecca and Terri...

more talk about this weekend...

mainly about the rain and when its coming...

we still have wind today...

not a good thing to put things out in the yard in to get ready for the city wide...

looked a piece of pottery up for Terri and emailed her the results...

just waiting for the guys to start coming in...

in the meantime...

I may be able to get a nap in...

finally...

if the phone doesn't ring...

check this out...

I was just surfin' ebay...

always checking for Oakland items...

and there is this postcard on there with this image...

this image is mine...its of East Main street when they were laying the sewer...

and this postcard on ebay is listed for $99!..

they are offering free shipping...

but, hey...its way over priced...

tops this card would fetch $15...

and that would be on a very good day...

so much for bargain hunting today...

late last night...

the lights were still on in the living room...

a paper had to be finished...

the rest of the house was dark and quiet...

except for Craig typing away on his laptop...

I had an email this morning...

MOM, print this!...

it was only a 4 pager...

no problem...

this is the last day of regular classes for this semester...

after next weeks finals...we get serious on the weed problem around here...

and its as bad as it gets...

there's painting to do...

closets to clean...

walls and curtains to wash...

its going to be fun...

there's also all those seed pods that need scooped up...

its cloudy this morning...

long term has been calling for 2-3 inches for this weekend...

it just might be a movie watching, book reading, chili eating kind of weekend...

I have 3 movies that Rebecca loaned me...

been saving them for hard times...

this weekend could be it...

a girl can only take so much sports on tv...

you all have a good day...even if you are at work...

and if you are local...

don't forget to check out Triple H and the plants they have in...

Lorrie isn't ordering very many...and they are only $1.50 a pack...

you can also check out Beck's...theirs are $4.50 a pack...

but they do have things no one else has...
