So tired...

Tuesday was my birthday.  Wednesday morning I got to babysit my favorite little girl and we made a nice blanket fort.  Wednesday afternoon I went to my mom's.  Thought I'd try to get another sunflower pic since there were some nice storm clouds around.  Yeah, uh, that didn't work out very well.  Bees flying around and then I get into position to snap a couple photos when my left foot started burning.  Ants.  I don't know what kind, but they are super tiny and they are horrible.  I last encountered them when I first moved to Texas 15 years ago and got away with nearly 30 bites/stings/whichever.  As a true photographer (cough) I did get a pic...

Oh look! A bee!  And the earth is suddenly slanted...

It would have been a nice pic if the horizon line had been straight.  If only I could get things lined up super fast, then I'd have a better pic and maybe less ant bites/stings/whatever (I'll spare the internet a pic of my poor foot).

A fancy shot that was taken before the ant attack at the sunflowers.

I really didn't get any good pics of the clouds.  Tropical Storm Bill actually provided us with a tiny amount of rain, and some really nice clouds.  I am a poor photographer.  I don't care though, I have fun snapping pics.

Thursday I drove mom around to her appointments and errands.  Foot felt a million times worse, and overall I felt horrible.  Friday (was that actually yesterday?!) I took mom home, wanted to try again for the sunflowers, but decided against it.  As I was leaving I realized how green everything looked.  I don't remember it ever looking so green.  I do remember it all being dead/brown back in 2011 when it never rained and we had 100 days over 100 degrees.  This year has been great.  Until this month it's been cooler and wetter than normal.  It wish it would at least be cooler again.

Pardon the car, I was too lazy to move it. Look at all the green!!

Oh! Almost forgot my late birthday present from mom.  A crap-ton of knitting supplies!  I really should knit something that isn't a potholder...

My first set of interchangeable needles!

Today I was supposed to go to San Antonio, but I'm just so worn out.  Add in generic Benadryl to help with my allergies, and I'm in condition to drive that 200 miles.  Hopefully next weekend I can go.  Right now I'm just too tired.

Oh, right... Cat tax!  It's Caturday after all.
