Back to school

The kids will be going back to school here on the 26th. I decided to make Presley a back to school card. I haven't been sending her happy mail and I'm long over due.

For the inside I used lined notebook paper to write the message.

A feather in your cap

 I don't know if it's some kind of sign or not but I seem to be seeing a lot of feathers. The one Friday I spotted one on the sidewalk in front of where I work. The next day I was sitting outside taking a break from my Saturday morning housework and spotted one in my yard.

These next two are a before and after. The first is the original picture and the second is after I changed all kinds of settings on it.

The after is a bit on the dark side. I may have overdone that a bit.

I wonder if these could be from the angel watching over me. 

Could be dangerous

 The one day while I was at work I snapped a quick picture out the window that's directly across from where I sit. There is a plaza across the street and I see Dollar Tree right in my line of vision every day. I sent the picture to Amanda and showed her it was there. Here response was "that could be dangerous". 

I replied "I thought that too but at least it's not Hobby Lobby". 

Growing celery

 I tried this once before and it did pretty well. I thought I would give it a try again. You take celery and cut the bottom off. Then you just put it in a dish of water and watch it grow.

It only took a couple days to get to this point.

After it gets going you can put it in a pot with dirt. The last time I did it, it got pretty tall but didn't really grow outwards. I doubt that you could get another think of celery out of it but it's a fun experiment.
