Tuesday, 5/9

Well, it's raining again. And I just don't feel like getting wet so I will post a couple photos from a sunny day. Michael bought these orange poppies for me and they blossomed while I was gone for the weekend. They're really pretty but my favorites are the red poppies. Every year I buy one of those little rolled up red pieces of crepe paper on a green wire that the Veterans sell on Memorial Day - supposed to be a red poppy - not really sure where the symbalism comes in, but I do love red poppies, so I always buy one and hang it on my rear view mirror. I wonder what they spend all those one dollar donations on. The only thing I have ever seen veterans due is shoot fake guns in parades, light off fireworks on the 4th of July and drink beer - lots of cheap beer. Beer that could be bought with lots of one dollar bills.
This next shot is (obviously) a church steeple that I saw in Jaffrey. It looks to me like they couldn't quite give up on the design once they got that sucker going. Try clicking on the picture, it should increase with size (- and if not, hah! I got you). Can you imagine climbing up there every few years and painting that? I hate painting. I'm sure there's a nice view from up there but I would be willing to pass on that opportunity as long as no one sent me up there on a ladder. Painting and heights - brrr, gives me the creeps.
Okay, nothing too exciting today. I've got a home made pizza in the oven - lots of fresh tomatoes and basil, yum. It smells like dinner, a rainy Tuesday night blue plate special.
