Music Monday! Kodachrome

-


A while back it was one of my goals, along with writing, to take more pictures with a real camera, not my phone. But I find myself not wanting to carry the heavier camera around, and worry about having the card in there. (yes, digital...I can hardly remember the last time we actually used film!) 

 It was 1973 when Paul Simon sang the pleas: 'Mama don't take my Kodachrome away'. But alas, his pleas went unheard. Today is a world of digital photos, camera phones, and online storage of our life in pictures.

So I carry my phone with me nearly everywhere, and snap pictures when the mood strikes. It is difficult to take them when I am running, which happens to be one of the few times I actually have time to take pictures. But today, it was a more difficult run day, so I walked more. And I took some pictures.

 Sadly, I was shocked to see these trees. Isn't it early to have the trees changing?

Plus, so many leaves falling, collecting at the end of my driveway! Are we really ready for this? 

 I guess we can't cling to the past, or to the summer. Time to embrace our pretty decent cell phone cameras. Time to enjoy the sweater-weather of Autumn. That is one thing I enjoy about fall, digging out my sweaters.

 What is your favorite thing about Autumn?

    The camera is heavy to lug around. I actually just took it out today (in order to follow my goal of taking 1 picture a day), and it was heavy! But I do like practicing. Maybe I need to hire someone to follow me around and hold it for me :)

    My favorite thing about Autumn is the colors. I love the rich depth and brilliant range of Autumn hues--simply breathtaking!

    I bet you will get used to carrying your camera, Okie! Give it at least 3 days, and by then it won't be so bad.

    I love the colors of Autumn too, especially here in the mountains, it is breathtaking! I am just not ready for it, but I really never am. It always comes on too fast.

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
