I thought I’d be eating this broccoli-cauliflower salad steadily all week. Forget cooking in the heat! Just eat this crunchy, fiber-filled goodness by the bowlful. My digestive system has corrected that assumption. But it’s still good. So, so good!
Our old pup looks so young here!
He’s old but still enjoying life.
If you need more words, the rest can be found here.
When you choose to not drive…
and leave your car at the side of the road,
the snowplow will eventually come by…
to ensure that you go nowhere.
Joining in with Carmi for this week’s Thematic Photographic: messy.
The driving around here is particularly messy now that we’ve started to thaw during the day and ice back up at night.
Walking in the park on Sunday afternoon, I was surrounded by the warm scent of pine needles and butterscotch. I love our tall Ponderosas.
At 10:20 pm last night, this creature came through the front door:
This is what manual labor looks like after working all day to remove burnt fencing (charred in last year’s fires).
I told EB that he looked like a miner and sent him to wash in the laundry room utility sink.(I’m not mean — I also filled a dinner plate with meat & veggies and poured him a glass of milk and a glass of water.)
He drove 90 minutes home looking like that and he plans to return on Thursday to finish the job. Tonight he hits the shower before he hits the sack; tomorrow he drives an hour in a different direction to chop and split firewood. All this for $10-15 an hour. Sometimes I wonder if he regrets dropping out of college.
Last week, I shared this tiny clipping of a picture, which Hilary guessed correctly in one of her 3 choices.
The full picture is below.
Vapor trails can be more than just a Rush album.
And oh! that blue, blue summer sky…
I’ve got a busy week or so ahead of me, so I’m refraining from adding a new What is it? Wednesday picture for now.
Here is the picture I shared last week.
Confession: I was hoping someone would guess caramel-marbled brownies!
Janet (from whose now-comatose blog I stole the “What is it? Wednesday” meme) guessed it was toast, and Carolyn guessed it was a “cross-section of a malted milk ball.”
Unfortunately for all of us, this isn’t food unless we are termites.
Melissa made three guesses in a single comment:
Rye bread!
Tree bark?
Snake skin!
As you can see here, it’s a small cross-section of bark from a felled tree.
Now if I can just get that old Ozzy Osbourne song out of my head!

I obviously made last week’s “What is it? Wednesday” picture too easy. Here is the full picture of the dragonfly:
This week I’ll try to challenge you a bit (or perhaps not) with this picture:
