Good 52º somewhat cloudy morning.
Yeah the sun came out yesterday!! Warmed to 70º by 12:30 and then
the clouds came back, blocking the sun.
It warmed to 74º and was slightly muggy all day.
Thursday I was outside playing with my extra long zoom lens, 150-600 mm,
and took a photo of the top of Fielder Mtn...
A close up of the Red Hot Pokers...
A turkey vulture up at the tippty top of my pasture, chowing down on
something... (don't want to know!)
My Dude's sweet face...
And then the UPS truck arrived....
I had ordered this new gas can. Mike told me about them, he has some too,
and I wanted one that the spout didn't stay inside the can and when taken out it
got gasoline all over your hands.
This works great... spout is on the outside,
when you tilt it to fill whatever you push a button and then the gas comes out!
When I was looking for the gas can on Amazon I saw these...
I ordered a
case! I had never seen artichoke bottoms before. I LOVE artichokes so this will
be fun. They can be grilled on the barbecue or stuffed with chicken, tuna,
shrimp, or maybe crab salad. YUMMM.... Can't wait to try!
So Friday, breakfast was a poached egg atop an Orowheat Cinnamon Raisin
muffin. And, I couldn't wait to try the artichoke bottoms, so just put a little
mayo on each.
OMGOOOOOD!!!!!!
Lunch was cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, pineapple, and
strawberries....
Ok, this shared by pal Gator. It's impossible to fathom... the Eschrian
Stairwell. I want to see the plans! This blew my mind!!!
