It is the first day of 2023. I’m not really a “resolutions” person. Pastor Adam was on vacation today so we had a substitute seromizer in church this morning. He gave an impassioned, longwinded sermon on resolve. It took more than a bit of my resolve to stay awake during… Read More »Hello 2023.
Taking a Formal Portrait Sunday off to share November’s Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge images. Only one month left for this challenge as I’m not going to continue it into 2023.

I’m kicking the decision on Formal Portrait Sunday down the road for at least one more week.

I tried to make October a better month for… Read More »Fat Mum Slim – October 2022
Another month done in the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge. I have to confess that I spent some time on the struggle bus this month. I don’t know if I lost some steam or if I just want feeling some of the themes. Being sick for a few… Read More »Fat Mum Slim – September 2022
Another month done in the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge. Think there is some good work in there this week. Having so much going on in August certainly helped. We’ll see how September goes. Here are the August images: August 1 – I AM… August 2 – I… Read More »FAT MUM SLIM – AUGUST 2022
A quick heads up. If you were thinking of going to or entering an animal into the Pufferbilly Days Dog and Exotic Animal Show, because of the extreme heat of today it was postponed. It is now tomorrow at noon at the park on 9th and Story. +++++++ I have… Read More »Fat Mum Slim – July 2022
On Thursday I completed another month of the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge. For June, there was only one prompt. Grateful. Everyday, post a picture of something that makes you grateful. What I decided to do was every day take a picture with somebody that I am grateful… Read More »Fat Mum Slim – June 2022
On Tuesday I completed another month of the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge. It was month of random prompts and I think for the most part, there is some good work mixed in with mediocre work. The kind of thing you get with a Photo A Day Challenge.… Read More »Fat Mum Slim – May 2022
Last Saturday I completed another month of the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge. It was a month entirely comprised of food prompts. Which seems perfect for me, as I do enjoy eating and I do enjoy trying new foods. However, I have to confess it didn’t ring my… Read More »Fat Mum Slim – April 2022

I found this barn and its hopeful message along I70 (or as a Kansan might say 70 Interstate) on my recent trip to visit Nate and Laura. I vowed to stop and take a picture of it on my way home. Mission accomplished. While this saying has graced many a… Read More »John 14:27

This hibiscus was new to my yard this year. It didn’t exactly “take off”, but I have high hopes for it next year.
Insect hanging out on one of my sunflowers. My sunflowers definitely attracted the bugs.
A bee on one of my sunflowers. This is not one of the bee type creatures that I had a battle with and defeated recently.
A zinnia from the Iowa State Fair. A couple more from the Iowa State Fair… maybe…
