Happy Thursday!  You’ll notice this photo is lacking snow and ice.  Yup, I’m tired of the snow and ice…so I browsed through my archives for today’s Thursday Thought post.  This photo was taken in Nauvoo, Illinois this past summer at about 6am one fine morning.

Have a great day!  Do or Learn something NEW…and remember to forget the mistakes, headaches and heartaches of yesterday and start again…because today is a brand NEW day!

miscellaneous NEW stuff

herbss

I realize I haven’t been posting much lately!  Life happens…ya know?!?  So, what’s NEW?  Well, a bunch of minor, miscellaneous STUFF!

The photo above is my NEW indoor herb garden that I got for Christmas.  I LOVE it!  Since I keep it in my pantry, I pay MUCH MORE attention to it than I would if it were outside!   I started it exactly one month ago…and the dill is going wild already!  I can’t wait until I can actually harvest enough to use! I’ve been psych-ing myself up for harvest time by pinning ideas…check out my ‘Fresh Herb Recipes’ board on Pinterest.  I have dill, cilantro, chives, two types of basil and parsley. Fun!…and if I photography any food dishes, it’ll be nice to have fresh herbs on hand to make the photos more interesting, right?!

Have a great day!  Do or Learn something NEW!….and if you need a good laugh, check out this funny   hilarious video.  {I about cried, I was laughing so hard!!!}

NEW extension tubes

Happy Wednesday!

How do you like this little daisy bud?   I recently bought a set of extension tubes for my camera and today I finally got a chance to try them out!  I think I’m gonna LOVE them…and the price compared to a bona fide macro lens!!!  Today I picked up a bouquet of daisies at the store…{I was WAY toooo tired of the winter gray’s I’ve been shooting lately!}…and tried out the tubes on them.  FUN! It really brightened my day!  Here’s some more shots of the little beauties:

a NEW treat on my porch

cookies

Aren’t these pretty little cookies? AND they taste even better than they look!  {You know I’m addicted to photography when I have to take a photo of a nice, sweet treat my kind neighbor leaves on my porch!}  But really, they are soooo pretty!

Tip:  These will even freeze well!  I know, because by the time we returned home, these little darlings were frozen from being on my porch for a few hours.  But after they thawed, they were still delish!

I’ve begged for the recipe, so I’ll try and post that soon.

Have a great day!  Learn or Do something NEW…(leaving a treat for a neighbor is a good idea)!  Thanks Darci!

NEW photo of my week #37

ornament2

Yup…Just one NEW photo of my week.  Terrible! :o)  It snowed ALL day yesterday and I wasn’t feelin’ like shooting in the snow. (Yes, I’m a whimpy photographer).  It is what it is.  Hopefully I can get out more next week.

Have a great day!  Do or learn something NEW!

I’ll link to Song-ography’s Silver Bell Edition (The nativity ornament IS silver….hope it’s not too much of a stretch).   BTW…I LOVE that site!  I have a smile on my face after I read her posts!…Every.Single.Time!
