Friday Fun

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: instagram

We have been having a TON of rain lately. Which is good for our newly planted grass bad for trying to get our yard cleaned up. We are still trying to clean up the chicken coop mess. Rain does make for beautiful pictures thought.

  Favorite Fridays at Skinned Knees         the hollie rogue      Captivus Living 

Blogging from Bolivia     Give me your best shot at Better in Bulk       PhotoStory Friday

My iPhone photos. Some things you may see below in random order: Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino, Yumm!, Crockpot Lasagna, leaves, mushrooms, yard clean up, Dustyn helping with yard clean up, new grass growing, hanging outside with my boys, Carsyn playing the keyboard, coast guard plane, sunset, driving down my road, I tried to cut grass but lawnmower broke down half way, some of my favorite places from my hometown, lunch with friends.

I say this each week but hopefully next week I will be more organized.

       Photobucket    

One last thing. Remember this photo? I am giving away a $25 Shop Credit to Starlit Nest, the maker of the banner, over on She {hearts} It  today. Make sure you head over there and enter to win.

    I seriously love the very last photo of the street. It's great which app are you using lately? How do you like the new interface for instagram?? I don't like it so much... hard for me to get around the change, I suppose.. *makes face*. Oh and what app are you using for the photo organizing?? I am really loving this ornate frame thing!

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.

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).

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.

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.
