Birthday boy! I made him large "cake donuts". But the yellow cake crumbled and fell apart. It was still rather tasty though.

One of the bradford pear trees in the front yard. They stay this exact shape, without trimming. They are also some of the last trees to turn bright colors. I got these trees 10 years ago for my husband's 30th birthday. For several years I thought they weren't growing before it finally occurred to me they were indeed taller, they just didn't seem like it because their shape stayed the same.

We have come to the conclusion that the kids got far too many matchbox/ hot wheel toys. This is a very very small sampling of that collection.

I'm trying to start a terrarium. I saw some pictures on the internet, and they looked cute with moss growing in them. I figured, I have lots of moss growing in the woods, might as well try. Turns out, there are more varieties of moss back there than I thought. I think next I need to paint a small rock to look like a ladybug.

This is a large hand-blown glass bulb with a "Tree of Life" inside. I'm still looking for the perfect place to hang it up.

Fence at the back of our property. Seems that the previous farmer, when new fence was needed, simply left the old there and added new posts and wires.

We got gravel put down on the driveway. Those dump trucks are really big once you get up close. The tires are about 4 feet tall. You can see how much higher the bed goes than the telephone lines (he was only a few feet from them). For future reference: our driveway needed 15.59 tons of #57 limestone.

I was sorting through the potatoes in the wagon, brushing the dirt clumps off, when I picked up one of these ones. It was just slightly heavier than it should be, so I stopped and looked a little closer. One of these potatoes is a rock! It blends in quite well. Once you pause and pay more attention, it's a bit more obvious it's a rock (far left, second from bottom), but when you're trying to work through 175 pounds of potatoes quickly, you don't notice it right away.
Impressed with it's chameleon qualities, I threw it in the bucket of cut potatoes. Sooner or later, we'll clean it up to see what kind of rock it is.
