It's Good To Be Home

Last week Thelma asked us if we'd like to get the familie's together to go camping over the Holiday weekend. The Husband and I had been working our tails off in the yard, trying to keep up with the "Country Club". (We don't live next to the "Jones'", the Country Club surrounds us on 3 sides). We were torn between taking a break and continuing to whip our yard into shape, but in the end we decided to take a break.

So Friday afternoon Thelma and I made a list of things we would need. I was up early Saturday morning, religiously checking the list and marking things off. It mostly consisted of food items, so I was on my own as far as clothing was concerned. With only a few sips of coffee in my system I packed for myself and The Youngest, figuring The Husband and The Oldest could get themselves ready. On my way out the door I grabbed Junior and a couple of lenses to document the occasion.

I forgot the battery for the camera.

And a book.

I also forgot underwear for The Youngest.

I did remember everything on the list.

Needless to say, after an entire weekend of being unable to take pictures due to my stupidity, I was itching to get up this morning and shoot some of the flowers that are blooming in our yard.

Did you know that chives flower?

Here's a peony. I just love them and the former owner planted them all over the property. I can't wait 'till they open up!

And here's a...umm...I have no idea what this is. I think it's pretty funky, though.

Not a clue what this one is, either, but I think it's lovely.

This one's a tree. Again, no idea what kind. If you know, please share!
