Wisteria and photoshop

Hello readers, Don't you just love wisteria, pretty lavender color, lovely scent, rowdy grower, but almost better than wisteria is photoshop I think. The second picture is what the wisteria looked like a few days ago (before the driving rain and wind storm). The first picture is how very cool it looks thanks to Photoshop... just makes you want to run a "filter" on all photos, doesn't it?


Next is a picture of the entrance at our house. The following pictures are the wisteria at Mimi and Poppi's which is a daughter plant of the monster wisteria at the Buffalo Lake house. The second picture is what a close up looks like with a photoshop filter of "watercolor"... couldn't have done better if I had painted it myself....

Totes and Pigs

Dear readers, You might, and rightly so, wonder what totes and pigs have to do with one another... actually nothing...

See below, Robin's totes stacked high (thanks Duane) and attached to Bob's truck for transport south to Parsons. They were untied and then unloaded by a fellow with a fork lift, nifty lifting, never touched by human hands... all cut up and ready for their new life as raised bed for the Parsons Community Garden... amazing!



And then there is the matter of the thing I saw on Tuesday, April 13, driving past Lenny's towards Wichita ... in the dark... What I thought I saw was something big... well, that's what I knew I saw was something big, maybe a yellow cow or a yellow lab... got to get my glasses checked... 'cause what I saw was this... pink pig... tall enough to look right in my car... at one point it was the Miata straining to outrun the Pink Pig... well, maybe not trying all that hard to pass 'cause you have to admit, one has to blink one's eyes several times, to convince one's own self... that what she is really seeing is really a pink pig....







At least she didn't fly....
Keep in touch...
