Baseball, baseball baseball!
Luckily, I love to watch baseball, because that is what I have been doing every weekend with my youngest son, Ben. This great sunset was the payoff!

October 12, 2013 Farmers and Their Tractors
Today we were driving to Weston, Mo. and we passed this field where seven farmers had their vintage farm tractors out plowing the field together. You could tell they were very proud of their tractors and they were having a good time. It was a beautiful day for a drive whether it be in a Mini or on a tractor!

This guy was sitting on the bleachers at my son's baseball game. He would actually walk over to you and try to get your attention.

August 6, 2013 Cleome - The Spider Flower
The Spider Flower is an annual that has reseeded itself for several years now in my garden. I collect the seed pods and share the seeds with my family and friends. These flowers attract bumble bees, butterflies and at night I have seen the Sphinx Moth gathering nectar.
July 20,2013 Portland Head Lighthouse
Portland Head is in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. It was first lit on January 10, 1791. I visited here during a work trip and would love to go back to Maine. I had never been to the east coast and it was spectacular! The lobster rolls were to die for as well! Here is a link to the Portland Head Light website.

Last July, several of these white mushrooms appeared in my yard and my neighbors. Now I want to Photoshop in one of my gnomes!
I have decided to start a new page and my idea was to share my favorite photo of the week. These will be pictures that I take. Let me know what you think!
Twelve Apostles Church
Sunday June 2, 2013
I love this newly built church! It looks like it has been here for years and it makes me feel like I am driving through the countryside in England and coming across a church that has been there for hundreds of years. It has a beautiful silhouette against the sunset. It is located on the outskirts of Platte City,
Missouri.
