because I had to

Ugghhh, today was one of those days when I did not have any desire to pick up my camera.
But, you know I did it anyway.

Luckily the sun was at least being gracious as I set out into the backyard in search of inspiration.

This is a lima bean plant.
Ick!  My daughter brought it home either from church or school in a styrofoam cup.
If is flourishing.
Blech...who likes those thingsanyway??

This is a new branch? Frond? Leaf?
Hmmmm don't rightly know what to call it...it is the Sago palm at any rate.
Love those gorgeous curls.

I was really hoping at least Shelby would help me with picture time today. 
I asked her...."Hey Shelby, wanna take a picture?"

Shelby???


Shelbster..please??

Then she took off running to bark at our neighbors, which is never really appreciated.

Wow, look at those bulging puggy, chihuahua buggy eyes.

They are part of her charm!!

As is her adorable grin. 
She is a good dog.

BUT, she did refuse to sit for a picture just like all the rest of the losers people around here. 
ahhhh ha ha, joking.  I really just wanted to use the super cool strike it out button on this new design page!
Here is hoping for a better picture taking day tomorrow.
later, me
