WPC: Close up (heterochromia iridum)
I am a mutant. My left eye has sectoral heterochromia iridum – part of the iris is a different color from the remainder. My right eye is blue. My mutation is somewhat rare, being that my iris is dissected into two equal parts – hazel and blue. It’s something I don’t think about until people…

DREAM ON… Weekly Photo Challenge
Make hay when the sun shines
Usually by this time of year, we are done with first cut hay and the haymow is filled to the ceiling. However, Mother Nature, in all her fickleness, has seen to it that we’ve only had seven days of sunshine in the last five weeks. Rain has been the norm. Now, if you don’t know…
Wordless Wednesday: flutterby
Weekly Photo Challenge – Symbol (family farm)
A tractor in the field. The sweet smell of freshly mowed hay blowing through the air. The steady drum beat of the hay baler. Harbingers of haying season and hard work. Weekly Photo Challenge
Weekly Photo Challenge: Door
Usually around this time of year, I start playing Christmas music and get a hankering to put up the Christmas tree. That’s why I thought this picture was fitting for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge. Jingle bells, jingle bells. Now where’s the eggnog?

I’m no prude, but would you please put your nipples away

Terrible violence just becomes ANOTHER shooting, ANOTHER terror attack,…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Off-Season
This week’s Word Press Weekly Photo Challenge theme is off-season. Winter was the first thing that came to my mind and I knew the exact picture I wanted to use. I took this picture right after one of the numerous snowstorms this winter. It’s a barn just a short walk from my house. But then…
It’s like trying to sew water
Why am I posting a picture of my JACKASS? Please, read on… Four hours. FOUR hours spent on the phone, being transferred from one government agency to another. Two hours on hold. TWO hours listening to the same 132 second music soundbite. Over and over and over. 54 times. Yes, I counted. After one hour…
