I run a lot of miles of life and crime
And mountain climbs and quittin’ times
Packing that load of lyin’ rhymes
And tired jokes and wooden dimes
I’ve been everybody’s friend, everybody’s friendI could lose my house, I could steal a car
I could serve two masters, living hard
Living like a dog in a cage in a yard
With a fist full of cold hard cash and I can’t let go
The devil can’t have my soul, the devil can’t get your soul
The devil can’t get your soulHold out your hand
Take hold of mine and then
‘Round and ’round we go
Don’t you wanna dance?
I’m a dying man
From the moment we began
Hold out your hand
-Brandi Carlile
Some of you might have thought that I might have run out of flowertography images! Some of you might have wished for that. But don’t worry. There are still plenty of flower pictures left in the hopper. The reason this is so late is because I intended to write this post last night, but then I got supper with Becca and talking to her took up most of my night. Then my next idea was to write it this morning before I left for the Iowa State Fair, but the server that hosts my website must have been down for maintenance and it wasn’t back up by 6:30 when I left my house to meet up with Jen and the girls to go down to the Iowa State Fair.
Which reminds, me today is the first day of the Iowa State Fair! If you are going to the Fair and our going to look for my picture, your clue is that is in the Color – People Class. Becky has already found it and sent me a picture of it!
But Thursday isn’t for talk of something as mundane as the Iowa State Fair. Thursdays are for flowers!
These flowers are from my yard:
I actually still have plenty more flower pictures to share that I took on this day. But they will wait for another day.
The top red flower and the bulb with two ants on it are my two favorites. Red can be so notoriously hard to photograph properly, and you nailed it. And the closed bulb with the two ants almost has a macabre feeling to it, and I absolutely love it! Just imagine if a fly was in there.
