Friday Flash 55

THE WISH

"Look honey, a shooting star. Make a wish."
The little boy made a wish. All of the sudden
they were sucked into a vortex.....everything went dark.
They were somewhere else.
All alone, a glass dome over them.

"I wished we were on the moon. Look you can see Earth Mommy!"

................................................

"WISH US BACK!"

FROST

I woke up this morning and looked at the temperature outside. It was 31 F degrees. A frost covered the ground. Windshields on cars were all frozen. I took my son to the bus stop. The usual boys were standing there, in their shorts. They are twins. They always were shorts, even when it is freezing outside. My son always wears blue jeans, he hates shorts. After the bus came, I drove to our little lake, down the street. I got out of my vehicle, in my house shoes and took pictures of the lake. The grass was all covered with frost. The steam was coming off the water. Evaporation in forms you can see. My son is learing about Biomes. The water goes up to the sky and falls back down as rain.

Yesterday we had the rain, dark, dreary, raining day.


Today we have blue skies and sunny and crisp and cold.

The lake

There was a cold wind blowing across the water. Giving me a chill. A bird flying in the sky, the sky so blue. I pulled my sweat shirt tighter closed. It was cold. The water was forming little chops. No one else was around. I wanted to go fishing, but I didn't want to stand there, with a pole in my hand, hoping a fish would go up to my hook and take the bait......so I didn't get out the fishing pole. I just took pictures ...................

For some strange reason, trees were tied around the poles on the pier.
As I walked around, the ground was covered with fallen leaves, all brown and rust colored.
One red leaf, waiting to turn brown too.

Goodbye water, goodbye fish, maybe some other day, when the wind is warm and I want to sit and soak up the rays of the sun.

We bought a new travel trailer a couple of weeks ago. We planned on going somewhere during Thanksgiving. I checked the weather and it was predicted to get really cold, even freezing. I
checked it today and it said the low would be about 34 by Friday. Hubby does not want to
go if it freezes. We are going.....maybe. I have to check the weather tomorrow. It was forcasted to snow. We want to go to try out the new trailer.
I cooked a turkey dinner today. It was good. Probably have hamburgers on Thanksgiving. I don't want to do a big dinner in a travel trailer, in a campground. I wish I had enough time to go to Key West, I love it there. We will just go around Chattanooga. It is not far. Just to get away for a couple of days. While I sit in the cold, I will be thinking about the Keys.

Skywatch Friday

It was a cloudy day yesterday. The leaves were gone, the tree was bare, so I took a picture of the sky, standing under this leaf less tree.

Nice things from rain.

Yesterday, it rained all day long. I didn't go out much. My son had a choral performance after school. We had to go out in the rain to see him sing. It was raining pretty good then. It was a long walk to the car, in the rain. Today, the rain stopped. It was still cloudy but it didn't rain.



There was even some blue sky peaking out for a while.
We bought a new travel trailer and found a place to park it. It is a storage lot that is new, built beside this rocky cliff. We went to the trailer this morning and I noticed that a waterfall was coming down the rocks, actually coming from the side of the cliff, like an underground water source. It looked really pretty, so I took a picture to remember it.

I even made a 5 second video to let you see it.

Friday Flash 55

Shelly was scared. Teeth chattering,

goosebumps, hair standing up, SCARED.

She heard a noise under her bed.

The light switch was across the room

and it was dark.

She felt a bump under her bed.

"Who's there?"

An eerie green glow was shining on the floor.

Do I run for the door?

A monster appeared.

Sky Watch Friday 10-30-09

I looked out the window this morning and saw the most beautiful sky. The sun was just coming up and it lighted up the sky in orange, pink, red colors.

Watery Wednesday

It rained today. Then the sun came out and I was looking out on the porch and there was a little puddle of water, reflecting the sky. I grabbed my camera and went out to capture the sky reflection in the puddle. I think it looks neat, with a patch of blue and clouds on the wood.


There was water all over the picnic table too, reflecting the blue sky and the trees, so I took a picture of that too.

To join in on Watery Wednesday, just post a picture of watery shots and go

She found it.

She had been looking for it for a couple of years.

This obsession has been going on for ten years.

AND THERE IT WAS, this small, shiny, round

item put an end to it all.

This one has 2 train engines. How detailed those

trains are.

Her quarter collection is now complete.
