I love these hues. So soothing and peaceful to me. Although I'm thinking that poor little cotton picker on the bottom right wasn't feeling all peaceful and soothed. What a different life she must have had compared to the children on the top left.
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. It has been a combination of work and lack of inspiration.
Okay I don't have favorites for you today (see above). Instead I'll leave you with this:
ADULT TRUTHS (at least the ones I think are true…)(edited to add – I didn't come up with them – this is from an email that has been floating around)
1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection…again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
16. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
17. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
18. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
19. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
20. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
I'll leave you with one link. Here is a video tour of our property as I try to get the chickens back into their coop. I don't think anyone is ever going to hire me to be the voice over for commercials or movies.

Great post. I loved seeing you gather up the chickens!
Just this week Martha Stewart was on Oprah showing how to fold a fitted sheet. I will show you next time I see you.
And if anything ever happens to you, I will be happy to clear your browsing history on your lap top. Your secrets are safe with me.
Pesky Patti says
Quite a routine you go through. Everyday? Gets your excercise in also!
Thelma says
Thanks for sharing the Adult Truths, loved them!
You are quite the chicken wrangler, I’m amazed you’ve not “lost” one, from friendly neighborhood dogs or one just wandering out into the street!
Mimi says
I love your chickens, especially the fat Rhode Island Reds. It’s funny that the video that comes up after yours is for Buttermilk Fried Chicken. Do NOT let your chickens watch you tube!

I am so with you on #4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13 & 14.
May you find some time for YOURSELF this weekend.
