NOW I know who has been nibbling on the plants in my garden!  This little fawn and his or her brother….along with mom, of course!  All 3 were in my yard having brunch on Sunday!  How could I ever get upset with a critter this adorable?  I’m off to buy more plants……!  🙂

Why is there a part of me that still believes I can go out in the yard to photograph and not be eaten alive by bugs?  You would think I’d have learned by now that it’s not humanly possible!

My parents did not have a clothes dryer.  All of the laundry was hung outside on the wash line to dry.  During winter and wet weather, we used wash lines in the basement.  I will always remember shaking the laundry in the summer before bringing it in the house to make sure there were no critters coming along for the ride.  Seeing this makeshift clothes line reminded me of the good old days when every yard had a wash line and the clothes came off the line hardly wrinkled and smelling fresh!

What to do, what to do?  Black and white or color?  I went with black and white for this image despite the variety of colors in the fruits, vegetables, and patterned jar lids.

I’ve tried to grow coneflowers on several occasions without success.  My next door neighbors, however, have lovely blooms alongside their driveway.  Hope they don’t mind that I visited to photograph them!
