Description
Hubby had some minor surgery and is off work for a while, so I went with him to the saw mill where he works and he picked some blackberrys at the back of my cousin's house.
While I was there, I spied these Old Time Pokeberries.
I used to make mud pies with them as a little girl with my Cousin at my Grandmother's every Sunday along with her laying hen's egg flour and sugar.
Needless to say, my Grandpa wasn't too pleased with us getting his eggs, using his flour or his sugar, but my cousin and I were happy little pretend houswives then.
Oh I wish I could go back to those days when life was so simple and carefree.
I managed to get some more shots of some wild mullein, wild chicory, Queen Anne's lace, my first June bug capture and a few more that I will post later.
Post work done in PSP 9.
Adjusted one step photo fix.
Adjusted color balance, hue and saturation.
I am feeling so, so.
The chemo a week and half ago really did me in and now the heat and humidity is back up supposed to be 96 here on Friday.
I am still getting sick from the heat.
I just can't stand to be out in it, so if I do anything it is early, then come back and lay down.
Please forgive me if I have lapsed on commenting on some of your images.
I will catch up with you all.
Any and all comments are appreciated on this image.
I hope all of you are having a good week starting out.
Please keep me and my hubby in your thoughts and prayers with both of us down and out it is definitely no fun.
Hugs n love,
Susan~
