Sunflowers!

Every year my family goes through the drama of planting tomatoes, sunflowers, and zinnias. Usually, it's my job to work with the sunflowers and zinnias, as the tomatoes are a full time job. Seriously.

So, I'm rather proud of my little guys. Just kidding. The sunflowers ARE NOT little. They're giant. By accident I planted one on top of some old charcoal, and now the stalk is as thick as my arm. I do have skinny arms, but the point still remains, they're giant sunflowers! And the head of the same one is roughly the size of my face, though maybe a little smaller... anyways, I'm just rather proud of them :)
You totally figured that out by now...

I thought I'd share a pic: this one is the face of the sunflower
and the next one is of a leaf on the same sunflower. I have dozens more *really, several dozen* and so I'll have to upload some of the zinnias!

Thanks for reading + have a great day!

Metal Working Class

Hey, there.
So I'm in a metal working jewelry class. It's pretty cool.

I'll add more pictures later, but for now, this is a picture of when I was making earrings for a charity auction.
It's of the earrings, anyway.
And, if you're looking carefully, you'll note that the date on the calendar is way messed up. It's because I have an old calendar on my desk for covering the wood :)
Hope your having a fab day- more later!

I made pancakes!

Okay, so I'm a really bad cook. I just learned how to make rice, if you can say that, because it was undercooked, and still ended up being burnt to the pan. Skills.
So, I decided to make pancakes... which, ridiculously, is a big step for me...
                                              pancakes baking -->
                                              pancakes on the plate -->
                                              (they aren't well shaped, I know)
                                              and finally, on my plate, about to be 
                                              eaten -->

And, so, I thought I'd share pictures. Sorry, they're not very good, I was a little more intent on my grumbling stomach...
And, I don't know about you, but I love eating cold pancakes! They're fabulous when I come in from a run and I really can't be bothered to make a bowl of cereal... which in itself doesn't take a whole lot of work. So, I'm not really sure how eating the pancakes is easier...
But they are one of my favorite foods- really. Therefore, I've started making a batch every few days and then snacking on cold pancakes. I figure it has to be better than eating 3 or 4 granola bars/no really.
Have a great day- and make some pancakes!

Daffodils!

You have to love them. Actually, you don't. I don't usually like flowers, but I got a big obsessed with these. Yes. You already figured that out.

Gold, Blue, Silver?

Adding to the theme of a few past posts, I'm taking pictures that are just odd. Like this one. So I did touch up the last two. Can't decide if I like any of them, a few of them, or what.

                                                                     The Original

                                                                       Antique?

                                                                    Blue?
