When we were in Washington DC we went to Bar Taco for lunch, which was quite good (I’m still trying to recreate their chicken verde bowl). At the hostess table they had boxes of matches. My son was blown away and asked to take a box home with him. I never even realized that this kid had never seen a box of matches! It now sits in his room on his desk and occupies slot 220 for the blog.
This one was HARD. Lines and perspective and angles…. not my strong suit … which is why I waited so long to draw one of our Adirondack chairs. They are super comfortable and look very cool but as I age, they are becoming more and more difficult to get out of. Just need to add a little oomph.
This is the Finish Powerball Quantum dishwasher tablet that includes three separate compartments to degrease (blue), scrub (white) and shine (the red powerball). This is something that I look at daily when I set up the dishwasher to run at the end of the night. If you use these, then this picture makes complete sense.
We have a friend that gifted us about 7 pounds of fresh picked blueberries from Michigan. The flavor is out of this world. I’m not sick of them yet.
I’ll start off by saying ICK. This is a stag beetle and we saw one last night on our walk with the dog. They are HUGE. This one was probably 1.5 inches in length. If you poke it, they go into defensive mode by rising up on their hind legs and swatting with their front legs…. kind of humorous actually. Now if it were 1.5 feet long then it would no longer be funny.
I’m trying to get caught up and I swore I was only 1 day behind but according to the “Epoch Converter” website, today is day 216 of the year. Somewhere along the way, I MUST have made a mistake and sure enough, day 58 happened twice. Strawberry and Dumbbell. So this is my oops post to get me back on track…..
I completely jumped on the patio light bandwagon and have zero regrets. We have a string for the back patio and a string of them on the front porch. I have them on timers too so they go on and off every night. I’ve been obsessed with Christmas lights forever and now I basically get them year round in the form of this indestructible light. Proud of my patio lights.
On Day 38, I drew a hanger and now I’m drawing its mate for the lower half. This is the hanger for the skirts or the pants. Actually, let’s call them slacks. Yes, today is a day for the word slacks….
I have no scientific name for this other than lizard. These things are crawling all over Florida and they move FAST. We tried very hard to snap a photo of one around Nana and Papa’s house. They especially love to crawl around the patio screen and by the pool equipment. Apparently they often lose and regrow their tails? Anyway, here he is! The slowest one of the bunch.
