K keeps teasing me relentlessly about taking pictures of my flowers and inanimate objects. I personally love to take those pictures. I just told her they are the only things around here that don’t run and hide, screaming “Don’t take my picture” anymore! So here are a few more, I took while playing with the settings on my camera.
Fresh from the garden, and very yummy!
Trying to master those aperture settings!
Front flower bed. Getting nicely filled in…and my absolute favorite delphinium in full bloom.
These little buggers are hard to photograph (and J reminded me I have a multi-shot option on my camera to take continuous pictures…which I may have to use next time)
The bees tend to get slower around the lavender. Almost like they get drunk on it…so they are easier to photograph.
The pond is really filling in nicely this year too.
And when I should have been doing 800 other things, I made homemade Oreos the other day. Sadly disappointing.J said they were too crunchy ( he is used to my penance for chewy cookies) but I reminded him that they are Oreos, and Oreos are a hard cookie…but seems I put a *tad* too much cream in the middle, so they tended to squirt when you tried to bite them…..I didn’t think they were very good either….so that recipe goes in the trash.
So, other that my flowers and home made Oreos, not much going on here but frantic preparations for vacation. I have personally decided no more vacations right after school is over. Too much at one time! It is nice to only have to pack clothes though and not half the house for the beach condo.
Day and a half of school, and sorely tempted to let the kids sleep today….couldn’t do it though. *Might* let them stay home tomorrow. We’ll see.
