The Secret Garden | My Sunday Snapshot #24

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 24! I have been walking this path on several occasions. One of those walks, I encountered the morning dew. On my most recent walk, I discovered ‘the secret garden‘! I’m surprised I never noticed it before. All the privacy fences look like most fences. Each house back yard is facing the main road. You can see each house similar fences in the top image below. And then the last one in the row, ‘the secret garden‘!

Of course, I just had to take a few images of the pretty flowers. Notice the critter in the white one? Not sure what kind it is. Tried getting close to see. Can you tell what it is?

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Road Construction

Road Construction | My Sunday Snapshot #22

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 22! After our July Summer Party, I drove Adam home. Seems like every year the City of Lawrence always has some sort of road construction taking place. This year it is affecting my drive time each drive thru Lawerence. Each store I shop, my parents home and where Adam is living is on the north side of Lawrence. The road under construction is 6th street (40 HWY).

more road construction — It’s a long street!

Each intersection stop light must be synced the whole stretch of the street. The speed limit is 25, the drive is non stop which is nice. If the travel was stopped at each or every other intersection, the traffic would be horrible. As it is, it’s tolerable.

Have a wonderful week!

Morning Dew | My Sunday Snapshot #21

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 21! Friday morning I needed to be at the hospital for my Prolia shot. Getting up early allowed me to go on a morning walk. Beautiful morning, a soft breeze, not hot, As I was walking I notice the sun sparkling off the grass dew. I tried getting a picture of the sparkles. My lens did not capture the prism off the wet grass. However, I was able to capture the water drops on the grass/weed leaves!

The little white flowers caught my eye. Not sure if a flower or weed. Cute what ever they are. Little tracks caught my eye as well. At first I thought when the critter whose wet paws made the tracks was instead created when the concrete was wet and the tracks are now permanent.

This morning walk was well needed. Started my day out right, refreshed, happy and not rushed.

Have a wonderful week!

Boom, Bang | My Sunday Snapshot #20

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 20! My husband’s favorite holiday is Independence Day. For the past 8 years we have been driving to this one particular fireworks warehouse, PJs Fireworks in St. Joesph, MO. This year he spent more then ever before. Kevin was like a kid in a candy shop. As we rounded the end of one isle we were face to face with a new firework we have never seen. It’s the Kevin image above. Remember, my husband’s name is Kevin. We both laughed. Very fitting for him. Check out what’s in the cart below.

Of course we had to get one! Many different options to choose from. Always fun to see what he picks out.

We have a nice pond area. A small cabin with a fire pit is on one side of the pond. All the girls and kids get to set and watch as the guys are on the other side of pond lighting the fireworks.

A grand time boom, bang! I am looking forward to seeing this year’s display.

Have a wonderful week!

Store Shelves

Store Shelves | My Sunday Snapshot #19

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 19! I had gone into the store to buy some Nature Valley bars. The orange box of the Sweet & Salty Peanut bars was the height of my forehead. What I was wanting was on the shelve above. I tried and tried to get the box of chocolate chip bars. Could not for the life of me reach it. At that moment I remembered a post from Facebook.

Yep, that says it all.

Have a wonderful week!

Fish Fry

Fish Fry | My Sunday Snapshot 18

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 18. We had an invite to go to a fish fry. Kevin’s friend, Ed, called last week and extended the invitation. Kevin and Ed have been friends since their high school days. Ed’s large extended family celebrated several graduates, birthdays and an anniversary. Lots of family and friends, food and fish! The fish was excellent.

pathway to outhouse — The pathway that leads to the outhouse.

The gathering was held outside, quite the distance from the main house. Ed had his uncle build this luxury commodity. Much better than finding a ‘tree’. ❤

Brand new outhouse.

In case you were wondering about the truck; the blue barrel filled with water, had a faucet that could be turned on or off. A bar of soap is to the left of the barrel.

On the walk back to the fish fry, this was the view of the pond.

In short, I never have liked using an ‘outhouse’. I have always cringed at needing to use one. This time the experience was somewhat ‘pleasant’. Very unexpected 🙂

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
