These are probably my favorite deck now.  They're the Shadowscapes deck by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law.  I'm especially drawn to this deck because her art work is so beautiful,  otherworldly and soft.  And it features foxes and owls!

Lovely Wilcox, AZ.  My cousins (Ponderer's side) jammin' away on the float!

The Ponderer, ever the sweetheart, baking!

View across the longest pasture.  Awesome!

Photo a Day--Food

My mommy loves me enough to still make me cute pancakes!

Photo a Day--Something local made that you buy

I love these anpan that Kumiko-san makes to sell at the Farmer's Market of the Ozarks.  If you've not tried these, you're missing out on a unique and delicious taste of Japanese culture.  Oishii desu!

I at least feel pretty silly confessing that I craft for my dolls...LOL

I'm glad I saw this developing thunderhead, complete with a lenticular cap, pass by.  By the time I got out with a camera, the anvil had already passed by.

We'll look at the Ponderer's cute l'il knees as I'm too pissed to show my bum left knee.  I would never expose you to the horror of looking at my least fave part for cosmetic reasons.  LOL

Morning is the operative word here...I rarely get up before dawn! LOL

Sometimes the Ponder's kisses are as soft and feathery as these blue jay feathers...those are my favorite kind

I'm totally stealing this from my friend D____.  I won't get to visit there until Sunday...

Photo a Day--Something you collect

I collect quite a few things, most notably dust...but I seriously doubt you'd want to see that! LOL.

Some of the patterns seen: Chintz, June Bouquet, Ridge Daisy, Garden Lane, Beaded Apple, Rose Hill, and Fruit Fantasy

So I pulled out my tiny collection of Blue Ridge Pottery.  These were hand painted in NE Tennessee by local people (mostly women) trained by the pottery to paint the designs.  The pottery closed in 1957, and at one time employed around 1,000 people.  Most of these pieces are circa 1940's.

I am especially partial to the platter and gravy boat, which is the pattern called Chintz.

So I forgot to bring my camera, and didn't upload pics to my computer before we left to get online.  :(  SO I'm changing up the order so I can at least post something.

Violet discovers that pedicures are very soothing, indeed.

Graft

Isn't that awesome?

No, not the crime.  LOL  Several weeks ago, the Ponder had taken an apple grafting class put on by the Missouri Extension Office.  We've waited and waited to see if they would fuse and grow.  We had bud break above the graft a few weeks ago, and he removed the protective coverings at the end of April.  How awesome!  They "took".  I am soooo proud of my budding orchardist! (Pun perhaps intended).

This oak tree is well over 100 years old now...I remember the day it got this lightning scar more than 25 years ago.

Don't let his sweet face fool you, dealing with his other end is just yucky.  Ugh!

I don't know what I'd do with out my hands.
