    Modeling her new hospital Jammy's.......

    Ava had a minor collision with my raised blue stone hearth yesterday. It resulted in a trip to the emergency room and a couple of stitches.They gave her a set of hospital jammie's which she now doesn't want to take off.(wasn't sure how to spell that so I did it both ways)She is shown modeling them, and the new stitch......Fortunately I was at work when it happened bcause I would have been a basket case.

    She went to the Dr's on Monday for a look see, and I asked her how her doctors appointment went. "He hurt my feelings" was the reply. I guess he touched the stitch to see if the plastic coating held up and she didn't like it much!Seh and her parents came to live with us until they could find and buy a house out here, and we put sponge bumpers on all things with sharp edges including the raised hearth. They've been in their new house for about a year and we took all that stuff down before the holidays....thinking she would be safe. I think we'll have to put it up again....not because of Ava, but because we found out today that Ava will have a brother or sister come next November! Yahooooooo!

    That's a clematis climbing up a metal hook that holds our hummingbird feeder.
    I should take one tomorrow morning as all the rest of those buds will be open. Some of those flowers get 10 inches in diameter.

    Support the Troops with Contact Lens Solution

    I was wondering if any of you would be able to send contact lens solution to soldiers stationed in Iraq. Due to the environment, the soldiers go through a lot of solution daily. There is so much debris in the air and the environment is very drying. In our practice, we rotate through the solution and send out the cases of trial solution that is going to expire within a couple of months. That way, our stock stays fresh and current, and the solution -which is generally used immediately- goes to good use.
    If you are interested, I would be happy to send to you the coordinator that I have worked with. She will give you the Iraq address to ship to the commander of specific troops who have a need for this solution. This solution goes straight to the soldiers via the commander.

    What a difference 36 hours makes.

    Took these last night after more of the blooms opened up on the clematis. Diffused evening light as opposed to bright morning light shows the color better.
    Don't have much else blooming yet, but our hollyhocks are knee high now. Last year they topped 12 feet! Our peonies are looking particularly good so far.

    Southwest Flight

    Some people ask why we fly around in those little airplanes

    This is one of the reasons.

    DragonLensmanWV,

    Oh, I love your shots! Snitgirl can tell you that I'm a sucker for flower shots of any kind, but yours are really gorgeous! I had no idea that clematis had such huge flowers. Thank you for sharing the beauty!

    rbaker,

    WOW! Those are some amazing shots! It's hard to pick a favourite, but I would have to say that the shots of Rainbow Bridge are pretty darn impressive!!

    Thank you. I'll be sure to post more of them when they get bigger. I have some shots from last year of our hollyhocks, lilies,hibiscus, and hydrangea, but they're from my old 1.3 Mp HP215 camera and they really don't look too good. My new camera is a Canon PowerShot A540, a 6 Mp camera.

    Well done on the photos Sir Baker and good to see that you are up having fun after your surgery..:cheers:

    P.S. why do I have a feeling that you probably built that plane yourself...
