Photo Challenge - One. And done...or not.

One - toadstools are a dime a dozen around here, but I can't help photographing the intricacies of them.  The texture and lines are amazing.  The variation between summer and fall makes all the difference, too.  You can go from ruffly dress textures to volcanic eruptions.

Photo Challenge: Spring and Friendly Greetings

At my house, Spring is all about new baby calfies.  Yes, that's what we call them.  Green grass, baby calves ready to have their pictures taken, and the promise of summer vacation close at hand!

Photo challenge - Early, Much too Early!

Photo challenge this week was Early.  Apparently, it was too early for this guy.  He almost looks nice, but I think I'll leave him to sleep without interruption.  And since we were talking lions and tribes on the tweetchat this week, I thought he had to make the blog!  Happy Napping, Y'all!

Photo Challenge: Broken, or Broke as the case may be

Sometimes, you just don't wanna know...

Either way, it's broken and we'll probably be broke after fixing it. lol.  So it definitely fits the challenge:  broken.  And yes, that's an Iowa license plate.  No place like home...

Photo challenge - Black and White

Artistic wonders - I snapped this one at Artsarben here in Nebraska.  I am always amazed at the talent of others.  Definitely something to be respected.

day 14 - last day - Feb. 14 - Happy V-Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day!!  Thank you so much for playing along with The Candy-Coated Love Fest! 

As it is the final day, all I ask is that you put a little love in someone else’s heart! 

Today, we are sending free e-cards (Happy Valentine’s Day!!  Thank you so much for playing along with The Candy-Coated Love Fest! 

As it is the final day, all I ask is that you put a little love in someone else’s heart! 

Today, we are sending free e-cards to someone who needs a little pick-me-up! (You can go to Hallmark.com for free ones)  Sure, you can send one to your significant other, but how ‘bout the co-worker who covered your butt yesterday, or the college friend you haven’t talked to in months even though she called, or that little old lady who lives across the street, or what about your mommy because doesn’t she deserve a note from you????

Now, feel free to send it today, or if you’d rather be that good little Pinterest overachiever, make one!  Or grab some candy bars and write “Happy V-Day!” on them. 

Do this however you want to, but let’s do something nice for someone who might desperately be needing a Valentine today.  After all, today is all about love and we need a lot more love in this world!

Just go out there and make someone’s day a little more lovey-dovey!  And feel free to tell us the lucky winner of your e-card if you want.  Otherwise, have a great day!

day 13 - Feb. 13 - stupid cupid gifts are for adults!

Lucky or Unlucky, it’s Feb. 13!  It’s the day before the night before Valentine’s Day!  And I hope you’re ready for the big day!

Today, I know you have Valentines to make and plans to arrange, so today is simple. Pretend that Cupid is somewhere between the Easter Bunny and Santa.  What should Cupid bring you tomorrow to make you feel the love?

Are you in desperate need of chocolate, a new iphone, tickets to Lion King, a trip to Bermuda, a bottle of whipped vodka or hours of snuggletime with…your pillow and blankey?  How 'bout ice cream, a dozen roses, or a kiss on the cheek?  What can Cupid do to make your V-day special?

Let’s hear that want list!
