Rainbow

Image
Had a storm roll thru yesterday. Pretty cool, lots of wind, rain, hail, thunder and lightning. Hubby looked out the window at one point and said there was a rainbow coming out of a tree. Yup: I think that is the last birch still standing in the park. All the rest (including the one that used to stand in our yard) are long gone because of birch borer :(

My hubby loves to surprise me

There was a small package in the mail that had this little gem inside: He had seen this while perusing Amazon.com and showed it to me. I loved it. So he went ahead and ordered it for me so I now have a cool spoon for adding mocha mix to my coffee :D I love the things we find there.

FINALLY! Bookeshelves

Image
Took a while, but we finally got the shelves built for our paperback books. Had to move a light switch, for some reason when this place was built they decided all the light switches to a room had to be a foot in from the door. But moved it got, so I had extra space for the shelves: They still aren't pretty. If I'd had the chance last year during the move I would have like to have stripped the boards, repainted them and installed before moving in. But as the shelves were the last things to come out of the old place before destruction, didn't happen. Oh well, considering we'd gotten them for free from someone who had just demolished their old deck, they are pretty good. Luckily we still have the uprights with the markings on them for where the shelves went. Didn't seem to have all the right shelves, so a couple that were odd ended up in the mix, but didn't matter. Did have to cut them all by a bit over two feet to get the right length (tho did bring in one

Fun with new camera software

Image
Downloaded a new camera app for my phone called Camera MX . Got some way cool features, including in camera effects. So far my favorite is the kaleidoscope effect. This is a picture of my living room: Very cool effect. Will be taking lots of pics with this feature and see what I can come up with. Spring is coming and I hope to get out more and take regular photos. Haven't been out much with my DSLR and really need to get more photos with that so I can post more photos to my various photo sites and hopely start selling there.
