Play Date

I'm playing with PicMonkey.

  I've never used a photo editor before,
 and it's FUN!

  This one will be great
 when they add
 the collage feature.

  Easy peasy.


 Here's the same photo with the color enhanced a bit


This is a small pond in our frontyard. 
The wire net is to keep Egrets and racoons from
dining on the fish.


I added a frame to this one.
And some text which isn't easy to read

..on a learning curve here.

And a softening affect


Here's the frog pad


The roses are blooming.
I've already enjoyed 2 bouquets



the succulents are happy too
( this isn't a closeup - they're huge )



We found a mature Sansevierias (aka MotherInLaw Tongue)
 in an alley !  It's waiting for a home


A bird nest fell out of our Pepper Tree that hangs over the driveway


 We don't know what kind of bird used it.  Hummingbird?
It's soft like a towel.


Other garden friends






my favorite (:
 

I'ts a lazy day ~ I'm heading for a fluffy pillow somewhere

Time Out

We enjoyed a little porch-sitting and fishing this weekend at our get-away cabin at the Old Colorado River.  We hauled down a pair of has-been wicker chairs that I bought at a yard sale for $10.  The round table had been inside the cabin, but was replaced recently with one that hubby preferred, so it was relegated to the porch. 
My assignment was to give them all a coat of white paint ~ and my reward was reserved dinner seating with a spectacular view.

Counting my Blessings,
