18 December 2009 Photo: A Little Bird House In My Soul

Found this little birdhouse hanging out in Fiddlers Green. It made me think of They Might Be Giants and their song Birdhouse In My Soul. Of course I had to go look for the video...I have not seen it in ages! It is pretty funny and strange. You have to LOVE TMBG and the countless screaming Argonauts! Here is the blast from the past video: http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=180

30 October 2009 Photo: Halloween Cactus?

I have a Christmas cactus that was my mother's and it is still blooming over 20 years later. My sister JoAnne gave it to me a couple years ago and it is doing well. The problem is that it doesn't bloom at Christmas. It doesn't even make it to Thanksgiving anymore which is when it bloomed when my sister had it. Now it is a Halloween cactus...too bad the blooms aren't orange! Here is one of the first buds...more to come soon!This one was taken on November 9 2009. There are several blooms and it should be full by Thanksgiving!

3 October 2009 Photo(s): Perfect Fall Day

After a VERY long week on the road and being sick, I finally had a day free to spend with Bill. We went to the Farmers Market, went to see a fellow photo enthusiasts show at a local coffee shop and then we went wandering about the area near our house. The trees are still not in full peak but we found some great photos around the Jamesville Reservoir, Fiddlers Green Park and the side of the road (while trying not to get hit by passing cars). It was a wonderful afternoon with my wonderful husband!
