Conservatory on Thanksgiving Day

We usually go to the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati on Thanksgiving morning. I think we had the place to ourselves this morning :) They always have a nice Christmas display. I love the smell of the flowers in the orchid house!

Cold day makes the windows sweat.

He made that little Thanksgiving hat in preschool

B-Day Card

Allan made a birthday card for me. He can draw more realistically, but I like when he draws silly too. I hung this up on my cubicle wall at work so I can look over and see it. He drew me in my truck, our house, clouds with rain, gravel, driveway and I can't remember what else he said. Almost brings a tear to my eye looking at this. I love my boy so much...

In the cave

The fake cave at the museum center in Cincinnati.

Busy

I'll start posting soon I hope. I've been really busy :)

It figures

As soon as I get a great mower to cut the grass, winter is almost here. :-( Oh well...spring will come eventually!

One more :)

There's nothing on this planet I love more.

My son.

My boy, the artist

He just turned 5 last month and he loves to draw things now and then. He did this all by himself :-)

One of the last

Not many flowers left blooming this time of year.

Columbine

You'd think it was spring, looking at the fresh foliage on this columbine.


But...it's not. The Joe Pye Weed is screaming autumn.

Ouch

$1,537 dollars later, my broken coil spring on the front of my truck is replaced...along with a set of new tires, spring for the other side (replace in pairs) and shocks for the front. I hate to spend so much, but it needed it and it rides so much better now. I love the tires too. Can't wait for snow :-)




Here's what the broken spring looks like, for comparison's sake. Ouch. Dangerous.

Berlin Wall & East Germany

This is from my army days in Germany. I shot this in 1990 I think, after Germany reunited. Yes, I did whack off a piece of the Berlin Wall for myself and I still have that piece! :)
