Hi, my name is Debra.  Proudly, I am considered a senior citizen at most of the local restaurants (which I take advantage of when I remember to ask). Some may say just middle-aged. Married for 36 years with two grown children and two grand girls. The grand girls is the primary inspiration for this blog.

I am a photographer that uses Nikon, Sony camera’s and various lenses. As time passes, I tend to gravitate to the easiest ways possible to complete a task. This is becoming more so with my photography. In my younger years I enjoyed taking my camera arsenal with me on photo shoots. Now it’s becoming more of a chore to gather the equipment, load the car and go. This is especially so when I am already carrying a camera with me, the iPhone.

As a member of the baby boomer group, the iPhone and digital era has me captivated. Wanting to do it all, surfing the net to taking the best pictures I can, I found myself at a bit of a loss. Well, this is my plan. To figure it out as I go and share with you here.

As I share my images, life experiences and just simple ideas, please feel free to comment, ask questions or share your experiences please comment in the reply section. I am truly looking forward to meeting you and engaging in wonderful heart-felt conversations.

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Homemade Weed Killer

Homemade Weed Killer

Hi, they say April showers bring May flowers. Right now I need weed control! Kevin uses Roundup. But with all of his chores, he doesn’t spray as much as I would like. It was Easter weekend, my dad was telling us of the homemade weed killer he tried and said worked. So this is what I am going to try in a selected area of our driveway. Our driveway is gravel and all those pesky weeds are growing up between the rocks.

homemade weed killerThe Recipe:
White Vinegar 1 gallon
Table Salt 2 Cups
Dishwashing Liquid A good squirt.
Hot Water I used half a gallon to dissolve the salt before mixing with vinegar.
Sprayer I bought a 1 1/2 gallon sprayer.

It is not recommended spraying this homemade weed killer on concrete (sidewalk or driveway) or where you do want plants to grow (in your garden).

As you see, I will need to give it one more application.

Have you tried this homemade weed killer recipe? How did it work for you?

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Old Barn

Hi, I am cheating a bit. Supposed to be a Wordless post- however, I was just so excited with these pictures of old barn & farm buildings. Every day I drive by these and always say to myself, “I want to take pictures of this place.” Well, last night was the night. The sun was just beautiful. Now I want to have enlargements made and hang on my wall! Below is the complete set of old farm pictures taken.
