We are a bit housebound today. It’s rainy and cool outside and the things that would normally occupy us on a Spring Saturday involve mucking about outside.
Even Belle feels restless and bored – although she has found a dry perch outside.
I did venture out during a lull in the sprinkles – the poppies are blooming like mad in the empty lot down the street. I forgot that they don’t like to open up unless it is sunny though. So the poppies are being shy.
I liked the vivid green of the poppies and the rusted swingset and tractor. I’ve been fooling around with Photoshop Elements using the tutorials on the newly launched The Pioneer Woman site. She has some great tuturials of her own and has a new contributor, Miz Booshay that also has some really easy to follow tips for taking and editing pictures. They may make a photographer out of me yet.
The above is a saturated version of this orginal picture:
And the faded version:
I’m kind of liking the faded one.
It is just the laziest day. I should be doing something, anything, productive. Or I could take a nap:

I liked your analogy that you and Rick were like the cat in the Hat kids. ^_^
