Another hot (mostly) dry week
here in Ohio. We had a nice visit with Dr. M’s uncle, aunt & cousin on
Sunday (so there are a lot of pictures from that day – oops!)

Busy bird feeder…
The Board of Directors with its
Chairman.
Our sunflower.

We had lunch in Yellow Springs
with the NC folks. We all loved this bench.
The State of the Bug. Can’t you
see me on the bench? No? Oh, I’m behind
the camera. Yes, I forgot to photograph myself this week. I know you’re really
bummed.
After visiting Dr. M’s campus,
we stopped by a farm stand & visited with their pet buffalo. This is Uncle
B after feeding some corn to Buffy and that silly goat.
Then we went to Young’s Jersey
Dairy to get ice cream. Here are the Jersey Girls.
After they left Dr. M took a
picture of some flowers that have shown up behind our hedge – makes us smile.
Of course, these ladies who were
on the move from next door make us smile too.

The squirrel (we think) broke
off the sunflower head, which made us very sad. However, doesn’t it look nice
on our shelf?

The last of the yellow daylilies.
Squirrel.
I was behind this car trying to merge
onto the highway & they were driving kind of slow. I kept saying, “Go go go
go!” and then I noticed the license plate & said, “Go with God, but GO!”

July 18th
We got a few drops of rain! Can
you see? What – the teaspoon of rain in the jar isn’t showing up?
Wet tomatoes.

July 19th
Dr. M saw this field of sunflowers – so much fun.
The last orange daylily.
The remains of my lunch today. I just couldn’t do it. I ate the littler pieces, but the big
carrot chunks were just too much for me. Blech!
Friday,
July 20th
Dr. M saw a goldfinch on our
front hanging basket. Lovely!
Go to Sara’s blog here to see the blogs of
all the other Project 365 participants. Have a great week!
Most of our photos are taken with a 12
megapixel Nikon D5000 DSLR, using a 55-200mm zoom lens. This is the camera that
Dr. M takes with him most days. He also takes pictures with our old reliable 7
megapixel Canon Powershot A710. The Bug uses our new Nikon Coolpix S6200 most of the
time. If you’re interested in which camera was used for a particular shot, just
ask!
so did they go?
ReplyDeleteEventually Ellen - but it was mighty slowly.
ReplyDeleteDear Bug,
ReplyDeletePlease make a video of your squirrels and use this music as background: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAYhNHhxN0A
Thank you,
Leo
Leo is crazy!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, I love all of the photos. Perhaps you could photoshop yourself onto that bench.
Buffy is adorable!
Love the field of sunflowers. They've always been my favorite flower.By the way, I know you love squirrels so you might want to avoid my post tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the bench! Carrots? No, thank you; definitely not if they're cooked!
ReplyDeleteStephen Hayes: I think squirrels are silly...and tasty. I have a definite love/hate relationship with them out back :-) My favorite pic, though, is Uncle and the buffalo. I can't believe they came to see us! Still feeling the love, a week later (<3)
ReplyDeleteYou don't like carrots? my daughter doesn't either..I don't get it, what's not to like?!
ReplyDeleteLove the bench!
When we lived in ND, we would drive by fields and fields of sunflowers in the summer....so gorgeous!
As always awesome pictures this week. I thin k the goldfinch is one of my favorite birds, but I love cardinals as well!
ReplyDeleteGreat week, love cows too! All my favorites this week, birds, flowers and cows!!!
Blessings

Lovely flowers, as usual. My daylilies died ages ago! Hope you had a nice visit.
ReplyDeleteThe sunflowers are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI noticed the interesting pottery as well.
Very unique artistic bench.
Quite a different week of pics.
Oh how I have missed you and your photos...such beautiful ones. OK Bella grew a sunflower from one of those little $.99 seed pots from Target it is now so pretty. I also have those pasta bowls AND don't like cooked carrots!! Well what a great post to come back to!!
ReplyDeletehahaha Got a kick out of the license plate and your admonition to GO!
ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers and especially enjoy seeing whole fields of them. (Driving through Nebraska a few years ago convinced me that they do nothing but grow sunflowers in that state. ha!)
So you're not a fan of carrots? I luuuuurve 'em :) But especially when they've been cooked with a nice piece of savory meat and onions or garlic, because then they absorb those yummy flavors. But, I'll take 'em any way I can get 'em. Had some steamed and then lightly salted and buttered the other day. YUM! I'll eat yours for you :)
So you did get some rain, but not enough to make much of a difference? Well, just have to keep praying for more! Maybe get out in your back yard and do a little rain dance too? :)
I agree. Not much on the carrot chunks myself. Bleah! Raw carrots, yes. Cooked are evil. (And okra remains Satan's boogers).
ReplyDelete*waves* Hello!
Go with God...ha! I would have said the same thing. :)
ReplyDeleteLove all the sunflowers!!
You have to do what I tell my kids...eat the stuff you don't like first to get it out of the way! :) easier said than done.
Loved the photos this week. The buffalo is massive. The squirrel was so cute. Tell Dr. M the gold finch was beautiful. I so enjoy the live shots of animals and birds. Thanks for making my day.
