I must admit I don’t get out to the park often. We had talked about having a picnic at Pioneers Park on Labor Day. But when it was 5:00 p.m., and I still hadn’t prepared a picnic, I wasn’t really in the mood anymore. Marcus’ brother-in-law called and said they were going. Marcus gave me the “question” look. I told him we’d do whatever he wanted, and winced while I waited to hear his reply.

He said we would be there, and we would pick up fried chicken. Botta-bing. My lack of preparation finally paid off.

I can’t decide in which picture Kat looks more captivating.

My nephew, Hudson, has great grayish-blue eyes.

I found it hard to believe this was in Lincoln, Nebraska, and not Devonshire.

Hudson put the geese to bed before we left.
Now I want to go to the park more often, and that incredibly greasy fried chicken wasn’t bad, either.

Last Saturday I had a big day planned. It is easy just to jump into a day like that, but I wanted to take a moment to stroll down our road a bit and reflect. And loosen up my lower back. I ended up going back for my camera, admiring what the rain had brought to my attention.

A bridge, perhaps?


Definitely a crown.

I am now a fan of dandelions.

And I’ve always been a fan of obedient plants. But I never noticed that each individual flower resembles a snapdragon.

Yesterday morning I woke to a fog. Not just in my head, but outside, too. As the sun slowly started burning through the haze, I saw spider webs all over the yard. For a moment (only briefly, mind you) I thought we were having a spider invasion. Then I realized water droplets had just revealed what had been there all along.
Earlier I had told my husband what a BIG day I had. Everything needed done. When he looked for me later, he found me standing in a pine tree, meditating on how close I could get my camera lens to the web without getting it sticky. I had forgotten about that big “to do” list in the house. Ahhhh. Picture therapy on a cool Monday morning. I highly recommend it.
