Friday Fun

Filed Under: Photography

First of all I want to say Thank You to everyone for your sweet words and encouragement yesterday. I stopped researching online and I am going to trust that God is in control. I am also thankful that Carsyn will be getting help. I am grateful to have Carsyn in my life. I love him so much.

Entering this first photo into Foto Friday, Macro Friday, Flowers on Saturday and Live Every Moments photo challenge. Fresh blooms on an indoor cactus.


Entering this one for Sky Watch Friday and Photo Story Friday. I promise this is the last photo from our New Years day at Kenny’s moms house. See the ducks in the water?

Don’t forget to enter my giveaway! I am giving away an 11 x 14 print and a newborn pixie hat. Which makes a great photography prop.

    I love the sunset with the reflection on the water...beautiful, stunning, gorgeous, amazing...okay, I'm done. :-) Yes, I need help re-importing. The only way I know how, at this point, is to re-load Disgise (sp?), which I don't want to right now. So, how do you get the comments to show up again through Blogger? Thanks, Sarah!!

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.
Sweet pea. Sweet pea.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

She recommended this wooden trellis from Lowe’s that cost less than $15. I tied up the droopy leaves with twine. There is lots of room left for growth.
I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
