Summer Fun in Pics

Update: comments are working now! Comment away if you like. Sorry about that. Thanks Kelli for bringing it to my attention.

Howdy ho kids!

I managed to pull myself away from my new obsession: Pinterest. I don't normally web-surf or have many real addictions but this oh...well, a useful (ahem) but potential time-waster if you ask me - I love it. For those not familiar, it's a virtual pin board. Pin things you like (no more bookmarking!), follow others, comment, "like" stuff, etc. Warning: addicting.
And thank you to those who have "liked" me on facebook. Yes, HiHoRosie can now be found on facebook - yeehaw! I feel silly about it actually because well, it's not like I'm real big in the blogging world but still thought it'd be fun to have. I mean, I don't share my personal profile publicly (I'll friend you, I just don't advertise it or share my full name anywhere) so a blog-related profile was born. I still need to update my profile but will do that soon. Thought I'd only get 10 likes but now I have almost 30! Wee! Like me if you'd like. Hint: could benefit you in the future.

Anyway, reading this post's title I know summer isn't over but it does seem to be winding down here. Kinda sad really. It never really got going although, we've been enjoying some beautiful sunny and/or rain-free days, it's just been on the mild side (mostly 70's). With some of you dealing with extreme high temps, I think our mild temps here are appreciated. Summer is still going strong for kids/students, too, since most don't start till after Labor Day.

I do have to wonder if a couple trees near my home missed the memo that summer lasts for another month...here are some fallen leaves I found:


Huh??? Pretty but way, way too soon.

So let's not think about fall just yet. There's still summer to enjoy, right? Right.

Today, I bring you some summer pics I took. I warn you: I was having a wee bit too much fun with effects and whatnot. All or most pics were taken with my cell phone (my real camera's focus is out of focus - so let's throw it out there: I need a new camera! My birthday's coming up in 55 days...not that I'm counting down or anything). So, please bare with me as I share. I hope I don't annoy too much with my fun-ness. :)

Another warning: there are a lot of pics...and sunflowers...and YS2...I could take pics all day long...
can you see Mt. Rainier??? Not a good zoom lens on a cell.
 

the cutest and fastest bffs EVER! Random meeting and boy, did they have fun!

trying to coordinate two 2-year olds to sit for a picture - ha!

artist: hubby
 
artist: me

artist: ys2

okay, I admit to having too much fun with playdoh


we didn't go to the outdoor theater this time but we will when I know ys2 will sit and enjoy









That's it in a nutshell. Of course, there are always more pics, in fact, I sense a garden post with pictures coming up soon. But next though, a giveaway. Stay tuned for that!

Hope you've been having a splendid summer, too!

WEGO Health: Superpower!

We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding
