Day 243 - Attack of the Killer Aphids Taken with the Nikon D90 and the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8. Edited in Lightroom.

Every year my honeysuckle bush gets attacked by aphids, and every year I spray it and they go away…until the next year. They don’t seem to attack anything else…just the honeysuckle. You can’t see them on this photo…I prefer to not show them.

 

Day 242 - Silencer Taken with iPhone camera.

Have you ever wanted to do this to wind chimes? As much as I love the nice soothing sound of a good wind chime, sometimes it can be just too much, especially with the 55 mph wind gusts we had today. It was a windy morning…I don’t think we are in Kansas anymore.

Kind of a dumb picture, but I didn’t know what else to photograph, and this really tells the story for the day. It was either this or a picture of me fixing the leaky washing machine.

 

Day 241 - The Wild Things Taken with the Nikon D90 and the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8. Edited in Lightroom.

Last day of having the cousins here visiting. Today they played dress-up and came to me to have their picture taken.

 

Day 240 - Munchkin Comes To Visit Taken with the iPhone camera. Edited in Lightroom.

My niece and nephew are spending a few days at our house while their parents vacation. They are so cute and have so much energy.

 

Day 239 - It Grows Like a Weed Taken with the iPhone Camera.

I have spearmint in one of my flowerbeds. It’s grows out of control. I rip it out by the hand fulls, but it just keeps coming back. I love the stuff really. It smells so good. But if I let it…it will take over everything.

 

Day 238 - Screen Time Taken with the Nikon D90 and the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8. Edited in Lightroom.

I heard a statistic the other day that said that kids get an average of 7 hours of screen time (TV, computers etc) and about 25 min of reading per day. It’s the beginning of summer vacation, and were going to see to it that those numbers are better balanced.

 

Day 237 - A Time To Plant Taken with the Nikon D90 and the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8. Edited in Lightroom.

Yep…there is a time for everything. It’s just about time to plant my tomatoes.

 

Day 236 - The Iris Are Out Taken with the Nikon D90 and the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8. Edited in Lightroom.

It’s about time…but my iris are finally blooming. It’s been a long time coming and I didn’t think they were ever going to get there.

 

Day 235 - It's Like Learning To Ride A Bike Taken with the Nikon D90 and the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8. Edited in Lightroom.

We woke up this morning and decided it was the day that Samantha learns to ride a bike. She did it!

 

Day 234 - TGIF Taken with the Nikon D90 and the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8. Edited in Lightroom.

Our cat hasn’t let us out of his sight since we got home from our trip. He really misses us when we are gone. (And we miss him). I happend to catch this photo of him mid yawn…makes him look like he has gone a bit bonkers.
