The Lake on an Autumn Morning

I woke up early on Sunday morning and discovered the lake had fog rolling across it. The sun was shining and hitting the colorful leaves on the trees around the lake and the fog made it have an eerie feeling. I grabbed the camera and took this photo. This is the view from our kitchen window.



Another Step Closer

Our little storage building is one step closer to completion. This weekend David put the lattice around the bottom all the way around it. It is adorable and we are really enjoying it. The washer and dryer and fridge/freezer are really working out well and I'm loving them!



Millenni

Millenni has been exhibiting signs of a problem with her right front paw for about the past 5 days or so. Over the weekend I tried looking at it and discovered redness between the pads. She has been limping around and licking it constantly and doesn't like putting weight on that foot. I finally took her to the vet this afternoon and he checked it out thoroughly and didn't see any foreign object in there. He gave her an injection of cortico-steroid and put her on antibiotics for the next week. Hope that helps. She seems pretty miserable and concerned over ther paw. She is finally resting and taking a nap right now. I love my little puppy dog and want her all better again!

Feeling Blue

OK, so this is probably not what you were thinking this story was going to be about when you first read the title. Thought I would post something a little humorous today. Anytime I am out riding around I have my eyes open to things that grab my attention and that I may want to take a photo of or blog about in the future. I like unusual things but the photos I have here today, well, I am not sure how to explain what I feel about them. I have one question... Why would anyone do this to an otherwise nice home in a nice neighborhood? I have passed by these houses numerous times and never seem to have my camera with me when I do. These photos were taken using my cell phone camera. The blue blinds in the first house appear to be throughout the entire house and they stand out like a sore thumb. I don't understand why anyone would do this or where one would even go to purchase blinds in this shade. The second house has shocking neon blue shutters and door. I bet they glow in the dark! You almost need sunglasses on to look at the house. Was there a special on neon blue paint one day and these people said, oh that would look lovely on our house. Eh gads! I am just glad these houses are not in the same neighborhood. What if the person who lives in the house with the blue shutters decided to put blue blinds in their windows... oh my, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse I guess it could! Have and enjoyable day and next time you are out driving around look for unusual things!
