Poinsettias

Posted by Picasa
We went to our local greenhouse's annual poinsettia open house the day after Thanksgiving, I love going there, they have over 7 greenhouses full of all different poinsettias. They have lights strung all over, it is beautiful. Each year we end up buying the usual red one.

Camera Critter Saturday

Posted by Picasa
Hi Everyone! I have been missing in action for a couple of weeks, real life getting in the way. We had a blizzard in Iowa this week, 13 inches of snow, wow!
This is a collage I put on my Christmas Card this year for a boxer card exchange that I belong to.

I took this picture of Jon Pickles a couple of years ago, it was then and still is one of my favorite all time photos.
My grandson picked out Jon Pickles and named him, our vet says he is the only client they have named Jon Pickles.

Coral Bells

Posted by Picasa

My color bell leaves are keeping their color long past most of my perennials. I like the way the lime green stands out against the brown leaves.

Mellow Yellow

We lost lots of leaves this past weekend, it was windy most of the weekend, the sun actually shone off and on for three days in a row! Imagine! No rain at all. My grandsons spent the weekend with us, it was a wonderful time.

The Mighty Mississippi

We went for a nice long fall drive last weekend to apple country in Wisconsin, we bought yummy apples, jams and cheese curds. The fall color has not quite reached its peak but it has started, I wish the sky has been blue but it was still a fun day.

Fall Crocus

Posted by Picasa
My fall crocus all ended up on the ground this year this year instead of standing up tall, not sure why. After I took this photo I picked them all and brought them in the house so I could enjoy them more inside than outside.

Quiet Beauty

I love this photo just for its simplicity.

My life has been crazy for the past couple of weeks, we are getting new software at work, last week I worked almost 60 hours. Today I brought work home, got home and fixed supper, I have been working ever since, tomorrow will be more of the same. I guess they think the new software will make the company profitable, I think otherwise, but I am glad to be employed right now, I guess.
