Kyra and I are home. She's been pretty sick the last week. She started up on antibiotics 2 days ago and now this morning is seeming to feel better. It scares me when she's sick like this, Abbi had something similar a month or so ago and it's awful.
I have to take the dog for her walks alone since Tim, Alec and Abbi are here.
But.. it could be worse-- walk down to the lake, enjoy the woods beside me and check out all the wild flowers along the way.
This is one of my favorites.
Partly because they are new to me, and partly because I have a beautiful bowl with the bloom impression on it. It's a Queen Anne's Lace, and actually a carrot plant. I had never seen them in Minnesota. I think it probably does grow in parts of the state but I wasn't aware of them. The bowl was a gift from a friend and when she gave it to me I thought, "how pretty! A bowl with a snowflake!" :) Yes, I lived in Minnesota, and snowflakes were around quite a bit of the time.
Here's the bowl, I love it.
I do miss snowflakes, but Queen Anne's lace is a nice substitute.
I wanted to share this picture. It's one of my favorites right now, and my desktop background on my computer :)
It's taken at the historic Oakland cemetery inAtlanta. We visited there last month. As a golfer, Tim wanted to see Bobby Jones' grave. I was quite interested in showing the girls Margaret Mitchell's. The trees and flowers were so beautiful through-out the cemetery.
A girl gets a new camera. What does she do with it? Of course she takes lots of pictures, but also she would do a photoshoot with her sister as a model.
That's how Kyra rolls. She decided to do a photo shoot of Abbi as a anime loving/anime character. Or in Kyra's words: "A photoshoot about a girl who wants to be in a manga/anime, but in reality... actually is."
They had so much fun.
Here's a few pics and the link to the entire shoot.
