ANOTHER CREATIVE SUPPER FROM MASTER CHEF AL’S KITCHEN

Another fine sunny morning but cool enough that we had to have the Jeeps heater on at times when our windows were down cruising through the countryside.

GRASS IS ALWAYS SWEETER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SHARE IT WITH SOMEONE SPECIAL

PHEEBS ALWAYS LIKES TO STOP AND LOOK AT ALL THE FARM ANIMALS

Not a long Jeep ride this morning but long enough for me to scrape together a few photos for tonight’s post. 

SOME FARMERS HAVE BIGGER HOUSES THAN OTHER FARMERS

BIGGER MACHINERY TOO

AND MORE OF THOSE BIG MACHINES AS WELL….THERE ARE 3 BIG JOHN DEERE TRACTORS HERE

I BET THIS GUY’S EVEN GOT A HOT TUB AND TV IN THERE

DO YOU SUPPOSE IF HE GETS UP ENOUGH SPEED WITH THAT WINGSPAN HE’LL ACTUALLY GET THAT THING OFF THE GROUND:))

Home around 11 I microwaved a couple hot dog wieners for lunch and followed that up with a peanut butter and honey sandwich.  Looking at my little cement patio block project I decided although adequate it should be extended another four feet or so and maybe it would look a bit better.  So with that thought in mind I started on that and will probably finish it Saturday morning when it’s cooler.

And a mighty fine ending to a story over at RV Sue's Camp that I am sure we were all so much hoping for.  May The Crew Be With You:))

SOON THOSE YELLOW LILY BUDS WILL OPEN INTO BEAUTIFUL WHITE LILY PAD FLOWERS

Also finally finished cleaning up our metal shed, a job I had started a month and a half ago.  Don’t know why it takes me so long to do things sometimes but it all seems to center on what kind of a mood I am in when I wake up in the morning.  I can’t help but think sometimes that dreams we have throughout the night possibly have some kind of bearing on what frame of mind we wake up with.

OUR RESIDENT CHIPMUNK DROPPED BY TO SAY HELLO AGAIN TODAY

For supper tonight I decided to raise the bar and stretch my limits.  Figured I’d have me some fried and coated chicken cutlettes.  Mashed potatoes are always my fav and you all know how much I like my corn.  Tired of the same old desserts I decided to finish supper off with a nice Brownie.  I figured this meal when done would be an excellent source of protein.  I was so proud of my supper tonight I, like George of Our Awesome Travels took a picture of it:))

CAN YOU COUNT THE SHADES OF GREEN

OH HEY THEY’RE CUTTING HAY ALREADY

WE ARE SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE SO MANY COUNTRY ROADS CRISS-CROSSING OUR BEAUTIFUL FARMLANDS

Read somewhere awhile back about someone out for a hike and missed a photo opportunity because they didn’t have their camera turned on plus their lens cap was still on the camera. I was out years ago with a camera club & noticed some of the folks carried their cameras in camera bags only taking them out to take a photo and then daintily putting them back in the bag again. Their priority was not photography, it was keeping their camera squeaky clean. I’m afraid I am at the opposite end of that scenario. I’ve probably got more desert dust on my cameras than Phoenix gets on itself in a summer dust storm.  When hiking and driving my cameras are always switched on and my lens caps are buried in my camera bag somewhere wherever my camera bag is. In fact I probably haven’t had my 70-300mm lens cap on in since the day I bought it. Can’t remember the last time either of my two Nikon DSLR’s have been in my camera bag. If walking or hiking my 2 DSLR cameras are slung round my neck or if driving they are on the console between the seats where I can pick them up quickly and not miss a photo fiddling with camera bags or lens caps. Just my way of doing things & that sure don’t necessarily make it right do it:))
