Grandma's Yard

The weather today was...weird.  It was nice and warm, windy at times, with five minutes spurts of rain all day.  A drop hit my arm which was hanging out of the window.  It was so big it splashed and my whole hand was wet.  Seriously, the drop of rain was about the size of a teacup.  You're saying "she can think what she wants, but that was not rain!"  I sure hope it was.  Can't imagine what wet goop might be falling from the skies these days. Scary thought.

So during one of the extended sunny spurts I took some pictures.  I parked in an abandoned parking lot, left my keys, purse and phone in the car with the keys in the ignition and walked about 100 feet away to get a good shot of a used car dealership. I'll explain later.

What I can show you now are some beautiful pictures taken in my mom's backyard, which needs some serious attention.  Still, you can't deny the beauty of thick green overgrown grass, unattended flowers that come out every year regardless of their lack of care, and a shaggy dog that needs a haircut but is so much cuter with it hanging in his eyes.

I promised to stay away, but I ended up buying a few things at Savers today.  A few.  Believe that if you want to.  I did buy a pair of shoes that I am going to do a DIY on tomorrow.  I have a lot to squeeze into the day, but I'm prioritizing this project.  Of course, I'll be posting pics.  

As for the used car dealership, I'll share that story tomorrow as well.  It's an interesting piece of 14th Street history.  

Until then!
