Linked 2013 - Everyday Life

Everyday life around here is pretty ho-hum, I sort of feel like I have lost my purpose in life now that my kids have left home to live their own lives, even though Andy is back in Minnesota and living with us. I really can't say it counts, because he is only staying until he gets caught up a bit, he stays in the new room downstairs and I rarely ever see him because he works so late. Not nearly enough for me to do to fulfill my Mom purpose.

Since Annie died, it's been even worse, because I lost my walking buddy. I walk with my hubby, but he's perfectly able to walk on his own without needing any help from me.

I work four days a week, I do most all of the mundane housekeeping chores and I do 90% of the flower gardening and zero percent of the vegetable gardening (I have to leave something for my hubby to do, right??)...oh, oh, I'm probably in trouble now ;-D
So, what have I been doing everyday that doesn't involve my job and homestead upkeep??
I have been taking pictures.
I have been taking LOTS of pictures.
I always have my phone with me, so I always gave a camera with me, and with Projectlife365 on Instagram, I take at least one new picture each day, (yeah, right, one a day hahahahahahahahaha)
and I am loving it...

Stop by the blogs of these lovelies and check out their days.

Little green things...

David and I took a drive to Wisconsin to get a load of wood from my sister's cabin, on one of the hottest days of the year, that is the way we do things around here!

Once we were done, we got our feet wet and washed the grime off. There were a ton of little bluegills swimming around and lots of lilly pads and lake gunk. (I hate the feeling of slimey lake gunk). My sister just happened to have a pair of water shoes by the door that just happened to be my size! 

We were sitting on the dock and noticed movement on the sand...Frogs!! I love frogs! One of them was quite proficient at 'not moving a muscle' because I was able to get my iPhone within inches of him.

I tried to touch him, but that was just too much, he hopped off into the water. 

We were planning to stay a few days, but  with temps in the mid 90s and only cooling to mid 80s at night and high humidity...well, all I can say is, 'I'm a weenie!'
