Welcome to the Photo a Day Project blog, where you can read about my adventures in my quest to take a photo every day for the whole year!
The Middle
Day 214
It's August, finally, this year seems to be flying by, we went from gray winter to growing crops at trees with leaves in what seems like a week. To me this time of year, before fall and school starts, always seems a bit sad, as a kid I always thought we were on the downhill side of summer and it would end soon, for some reason I still feel the same way even though I'm not in school any more, and haven't been for a million years. I mean I still get bummed seeing back to school stuff in the stores!

Frog House
Day 213
We have a small geranium plant out front of my house. But all summer we have been wondering where does the dirt keep going? One day the plant was even out of the pot laying on the ground next to the container. We even moved the pot to the steps thinking if it was a squirrel or a chipmunk being right by the front door would scare it away but no there were still holes dug right into the dirt, we couldn't figure it out. Till one day my sister was sitting on the front steps and noticed a frog all covered up in the cool dirt, so my father had my Mom take the frog out and put it under a bush thinking this would work, but no the frog was back in the pot the next day. So they brought the frog all the way across the yard under a different bush, and you guessed it, the frog made it's way back to the flower pot! So this is one determined frog, it made it all the way across the yard and up 2 steps to sleep in that flower pot, so now he gets a free pass he earned his home and will live in our geranium plant until he wants to leave.

Hello Moon
Day 212
I can't believe I almost forgot to take a photo today, I think I am still recovering from the weekend, and having my niece visit these last few weeks. She has tired me out! But tonight we had to run to the store and saw the moon and the clouds, my sister actually had the idea for this photo, I'm glad she saw it!

Got to get Some Sleep
Day 211
So we made is all night, and I realize that I am way to old to do that. I have been way to tired today to do much of anything so I just took a quick pick this morning on my way to bed!

Yellow Flower
Day 210
The blog is late for yesterday, I did take a photo but had to prepare for the Relay for Life last night, so I was up all night raising money to get rid of cancer, because as we all know, cancer sucks and I for one would rather never hear the word again.
