Today promised to be a very busy day, so I decided it was best to get up early. -- No, wait....that was my husband! He was out the door before 6 am. I, on the other hand, slept in until almost 8. I grabbed a cup of coffee (and a camera) and headed out to see what the garden offered for breakfast.
I see that the corn is "as high as an elephant's eye"... 8:15 a.m.
...and the squash has an offering or two... 8:20 a.m.
Some tomatoes were ready to be picked. Now THAT's what I like to find! 8:25 a.m.
After another cup of coffee, and a small project crossed off my list, my tummy says it's time to turn my attention back to.......The Harvest. 10:36 a.m.
Breakfast. (Although today it's more like Brunch.) 10:52 a.m.
We are taking on a remodel project, so after re-fueling, I tackled dismantling the kitchen. Cabinets must be emptied; things must be packed away. I created a royal mess - which I couldn't bring myself to photograph for you. But a dreaded appointment interrupted the process....
Sitting in the waiting room at the endodontist's office, THIS is what I wanted to do.... 2:17 p.m.
But THIS is what I did instead. 2:25 p.m.
Leaving the office, I stopped to smell the flowers. A rain cloud had blown in, and a few sprinkles were starting to fall. It was a welcome relief in more ways than one. 3:39 p.m.
I called my shooting buddy and told her I was on my way. We'd planned to check out the old downtown area of the suburb where she lives to see if it would turn up some interesting photo ops. We needed to stay close to home so we could check in on sweet puppy, Lily.
A border in a storefront window caught my eye. 4:21 p.m.
We stopped in for some outstanding ice cream at a little chocolate shop. Loved everything about that place! But my favorite take-away picture was of a little mirror. 4:34 p.m.
Nestled among the shops, there was a lovely little green sitting area with a pioneer family sculpture. The dad was carrying a basket of apples. 4:58 p.m.
After checking back in on Lily, it was time for dinner. Sunny suggested a little Sushi place she'd discovered with some friends. It was fun, and the food was FANTASTIC! Interesting curtains..... 6:31 p.m.
Bonus shot. Loved the lights. 7:23 p.m.

And that, Gracious Reader, was the way I spent my day on this July 12, 2011. See you next 12th!
