There are so many things that need to be cleaned up around here.  But I’m tired and all I really wanted to do today was nap.  I couldn’t because we had Sunday School, a trip to Costco, painting woodwork in DramaQueen’s room, laundry, StellaDella’s T-ball game and more laundry on the agenda today.  These baseballs have been sitting on my front porch for quite some time now and should be put away properly.  I took a picture of them instead.

And all the trees are green;
And every goose a swan, lad,
And every lass a queen;”

Forty-three.  I am forty-three years old today.  When my mother was 43, I was graduating from high school.  When her mother was 43, she was pregnant with my mother.  How’s that for perspective?
Anyway, I had a relaxed day.  I renewed my driver’s license (how exciting!), had lunch with Handsome Husband and with HH’s encouragement, bought myself a new camera – A Canon EOS Rebel XS with a 75-300mm lens.  Spiffy, huh?  This photo is the 28th one I took with my new camera and lens.  I hope I can justify my purchase with better photos.  Good gravy, why oh why can’t I just enjoy my new toy and not put so much pressure on myself to perform?  Because I’m whacko that’s why.
