Junk Drawer

How can it be?! I cleaned out the kitchen junk drawer today and now I can't get it closed! I got rid of an entire bag of junk from it! The rest is valuable stuff I just can't part with (including the wisdom teeth).

Iowa, Stuff, and Foto Skool

I got a really neat Mother's Day present. A day at photo school in July. Let's hope I don't totally suck that day. Anyhow, here are a couple of snapshots on the way back from Iowa.



And here's Barbie in the Birthday Mush cake. Hah! Take THAT Barbie!

And the front tree. Some neighbors like it, some don't.

And a nice floral still for my other neighbor!

Whoa

There's lots going on in this photo, even for b&w. Stripes, leaves, chalk, horizontal lines. Yikes. Maybe this is one I can practice cropping on?

From pig to ham

Here's a conversation...
Her: How do farmers sort out which eggs have baby chicks in them from the ones that we can eat.
Me: I have no idea.
Her: What does "Farmers raise pigs for their meat mean?"
Me: It means they take good care of the piggies while they're growing up and then they eat them.
Her: Gross!
Me: So what do you want for lunch tomorrow?
Her: Ham sandwich.
