Jan and I biked upriver towards Oil City yesterday - as far as the last, biggest picnic spot before the sewage treatment plant. It was a good trip, though I was glad when it was over. Only 10 miles but my back, my butt and my shoulders where aching when we got back to Franklin. I do love biking but my body can't seem to do it for very long without ( Read more... )

Right now it's raining but we had some sunshine this morning so I took a quick walk around the back yard with Rainy and the little full spectrum camera and the IR Chrome filter.

I was supposed to pick up David Z for shopping in an hour so I set a timer so I would know to turn around in time to get back. Right when the timer went off I saw this baby head on the ( Read more... )

I got up around 4 am this morning with an idea to make a bar of soap. ( A few pictures... )

I think I am one of those people who prepares for the worst and hopes for the best. I like to know the worst case scenario. Sometimes I can get stuck there, for a while. But basically I am an optimist and will bounce back to trying to see the bright side eventually. I want to believe in magic, in a higher power that I can jump in with and let it ( Read more... )
