Weeks 34 & 35

Missing in action last week for the "Add Something" prompt so here is what I like to do when I'm bored in the evenings.

The pink Dahlia's are actually some of mine growing in a pot on the back steps.  I found the rest of the images on google and just played around.

And this one I did basically the same, using one of my flowers that I altered in a program called Pixlr.  It's my favorite altering app ever.

And a couple more of my flowers that I altered in Pixlr.  Same photo, different overlays. 

I waste a lot of time playing with this app in the evenings.  It's better than TV!

Week 35 Growth and Change.

Since living alone for 5 years and being totally dependent on myself for everything, I've grown immensely.  I'm self-sufficient, solving problems and learning how to cope with everything myself.  I'm stronger and more aware of everything.  I know I've changed from the person I was 10 years ago into a strong secure seasoned woman.  And I kinda like that.  So I'm going to post a picture of me.  :) 

I've grown and changed.

I am woman and I am strong.  

Focus on Life Week 33 - In Season

I live in the middle of corn country and we have corn coming out of our ears, literally.
Sorry for the pun, lol.
Corn earns, get it??  Ears of corn?  :)

A drive down main street in my small town reveals no less than 3 sweet corn stands.  Most are unmanned, poeple go by the honor system here.  This morning there is a small farmers market and there will be a dozen or more vendors there with lovely produce. 

 

 

 

We've enjoyed a nice cool August but the heat and humidity return this week.  The corn loves this kind of weather, I HATE it.  I'm looking forward to autumn, where I can wear toasty sweaters and scarves and leather boots once again.  And take my yearly trek out to the pumpkin patch.

 

Have a good week wherever you are!

 

Focus on Life - Week 32 From Where I Stand

Here it is, Saturday morning already.  Waiting for my cuppa to finish brewing and comtemplating on what to write this week.  I admit, I'm kind of stumped again. 

I moved here just 5 years ago.  I usually celebrate my anniversary every August 1 but this year I forgot about it.  I didn't want to move here and leave Alaska but I owned this house and had to go somewhere.  I severed ties from an abusive relationship I was in. By forgetting about my anniversary date this year maybe that means I've finally healed and have moved on???

I dunno, but here I am in this lovely old house that I love so much in a place where I hate to be, Wisconsin. 

 

 

 

I'd much rather be standing back here.

 

So, I go back as often as I can, which this year translates to only 1 trip.  I'm going home in October.  I can't wait to get there.

Focus on Life: HUES OF BLUE

It's all about blue this week and it worked out perfect for me because on Sunday morning I decided to dig out my sewing machine (haven't used it since last winter) and dust it off to make some pillow cases. 

Tada, BLUE!

 

I had so much fun making these that I bought some more fabric, and yup, it's blue too!

 

 

 

Have a great week, the weather here has been gorgeous but we could use some rain.

Thanks for stopping by last week and leaving comments!  xo
