What a crazy busy week! I haven’t
read a blog in ages (so so so very sorry!!!), and I haven’t responded to
comments on my blog. I did want to tell Steve Reed that the lunchbox was just
in the middle of the sidewalk, as if a child had been playing with it &
left it behind – but it was so artfully placed that I wondered if it was left
on purpose instead. There was a pile of sand behind it that looked like maybe
it was supposed to be Treasure Island. Fun!
Dr. M has helped me out this
week by doing two blog posts – one with hummingbirds
and The Moon, and another
with sunflowers. I’m including a couple of pictures of each here, but you
should check his blog out for some really GOOD pictures.

September 7th
I
took my daily walk before I left on my business trip to western NY.
I
had to laugh – when I exited the toll road it said that the next exit was
Canada. Very exciting!
While
I was driving northeast, Dr. M was responding to a challenge. If you’ll recall
he created tomato Ohio last week. I give you…Tomato North Carolina!
The
moon!

In East Aurora, NY, I got up
pretty early & took my daily walk before meeting my boss for breakfast.
Meanwhile, Dr. M took pictures
of the jungle that is our back yard.
A sunflower preview!
That evening my boss & I
drove to Horseheads, NY. This was waiting in my hotel. Ha!
The moon!

With short hair comes the possibility
reality of bed head.
Another brief walk before
heading to our Horseheads office.
Driving home, this was my fuel
for the road.

September 10th
Our diocese has been scheduling Google
photographers to go to all of our churches to do a virtual tour of each one.
Today was our church’s turn. I went over this morning to set up the altar &
took a few (quite inferior I’m sure) shots of my own.
My daily walk – a bit moody out.
I was so vegetable deprived on the
trip that I thawed out some of my dad’s okra & stir fried it. Pretty tasty!
Thursday,
September 11th
My daily walk. Dr. M flew this
flag in remembrance of the anniversary of the War of 1812, but it seems apropos
of this day as well, don’t you think?
Friday,
September 12th
Our Ohio.
My daily walk.
Two more tomato states – Texas
& Tennessee. Please note that these are not all the same tomatoes – we’ve
been eating & giving them away as fast as we can!
Saturday,
September 13th
Dr. M
took me around to look at sunflowers today – such a glorious day! Again, his blog
has better pictures. I had to laugh at the one of the two of us – I was handing
him the phone, saying, “My arm isn’t long enough to take this picture.” Ha!
Hummingbird!
My daily
walk – went to the park along the river.
Have a great week!
Love all of those sunflower shots.
ReplyDeleteI love how the sign implies that all of Canada has just one exit. Like it's Parsippany or something.
ReplyDeleteThe tomato North Carolina is amazingly accurate! Look at the Outer Banks!
Your trip to upstate New York sounds fun. I have no idea where East Aurora and Horseheads are, but it's always fun to get a change of scenery, right?
Funny about the lunchbox...
our tomatoes (really, our whole garden) has been a bit behind. We have lots of cherry tomatoes, but they are all very green. We had cool weather move in this week, but it looks like there won't be an issue of frost for a bit.
ReplyDeleteSo great how you get out there and move everyday!
Love the tomato NC!
ReplyDeleteHa! I know that exit! Intimately! I even remember what the sign just past that toll booth says: Ridge Road, Lackawanna, West Seneca. ♥♥♥ Those are my old stomping grounds.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the jungle in your back yard!
Mr. M knows his states! Do you eat them state by state?
ReplyDeleteThe moon, the moody sky, wow!
There's so much to like about this post. The hummingbirds are so cute, as is your hair. I want that hair. The tomato states are a hoot, and love your backyard jungle.
ReplyDeleteYour church is so pretty with its red doors and Gothic stone. It reminds me of my old school building...way back when I used to teach. LOL.
