Friday Fotos

 

Welcome to Friday Fotos!
πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–
Thank you everyone for the kind words yesterday. Y'all are the best.
I took a stroll around the property. I have a new FujiFilm XP camera (water proof & shock proof) I had to try out. It's supposedly just like the other yellow one I accidentally dropped in the woods when the land clearing was going on. The chipper chewed it to itsy bitsy bits. So, these are the images that stood out the most. Enjoy!

First attempt. Maggie moved. She was looking so cute too, all curled up and snuggly. Little stinker.

Of course, I had to snap a pic of our "pretend" veg garden. Yeah, ok, it's 90% flowers. I admit it. The veg's are on the corners. We're mostly carnivore's anyway. That's how we've both lost 45 pounds. I'm down to 160 from 205 now! Woot woot! πŸ₯³πŸ’ƒ

And, last but not least:
Steve is changing the oil and filter then performing general maintenance on his motorbike (2018 Honda NC750X). I think his is prettier than mine. πŸ˜Ž
Then, lastly, my nearly constant companions. Maggie in the foreground, Sam next to her (white) and Jack next to the junk pile. I circled him because in the bright sunlight he nearly disappeared! I didn't notice that at the time.

I hope y'all enjoyed the tour. We've got places to go and people to annoy. 🀭 Prayers that the rest of your day is pleasant, profitable, edifying and full of the joy we receive from the Holy Spirit. Every day is a gift from God. I hope I always remember to enjoy it. πŸ˜‡πŸ™
Ride Safe,

  1. if I had a lot of money, I would have to build a house with a room just to hold all my tech stuff. I love all things camera and now I want one of these. I have 2 cameras, 2 cell phones, 1 Chromebook 1 desktop, ipad, and all have at least 12 megapixels cameras. I don't NEED a camera I want this one. ha ha.. I never go out in the rain and do not do boats so no need for a waterproof one. loved the tour and is that chair hugging that tree? your pups are so cute and sweet and I would love to meet them.. they have a wonderful place to run free and be happy. life without a dog/dogs is just not a life. I have not smelled or seen a conferate jasmine since I left GA in 1984.. I think I smell it now..

    1. πŸ˜‚ That's adorable! I didn't think of it that way. 😍 When the arm on the chair broke I wrapped it around the Red Cedar to keep it from blowing away in the wind.
      I agree about having dogs! πŸ•❤️πŸ‘

  2. You must have a HUGE yard - love the Royal Purple Petunias in the grill and the petunias in the wheel barrow too. Love the dogs - I wish I could have one. Very pretty!

    1. 6 1/2 acres sure feels that way sometimes because I have to mess with everything and make it "just so". You'd think we still lived in a neighborhood. πŸ˜‚
      An old grill or broken wheelbarrow make dandy flower holders. We have the obligatory country junk pile in the back but I try to reuse or recycle everything. 😊⭐

  5. Your tour images make my heart smile! Wow on y'all's weight loss! For decades my dietary 'normal' was Atkins-turned-Keto, yet I fell off the wagon big time last year. Working my way back, but it's a struggle.

    1. The wagon is always there. Hope back on and enjoy the ride. I plan to keep eating this way from now on. I thank the Lord for letting me learning about eating the proper way all the time. πŸ’™

  6. Your flowers are beautiful! I'm really chomping at the bit to do some gardening, but we have a couple of weeks to go before we can assume it's safe from frost.

    1. Thanks Sue. πŸ’™ Hope I wasn't preachy just a moment ago. Injustice is always going to be with us until Christ returns and sets up His perfect Kingdom. I am good at annoying people. *giggle*
      One good thing about eating habits, it's easy to go back and start over. I've done it several times. My weakness is peanut butter which is loaded with natural sugar! My bad! lol Anyway, it's taken me 5 years to get to this point.
      Blessings.

    2. Sugar is my downfall...I know I should behave but its time to buckle down.
      No you weren't preachy..you said it like it is...
