Garden Self Portrait

by Kay~Kacey on 6/27/2012

Taking a bit of an artistic license with naming this Garden Self Portrait…

But, see?? There I am in the bottom left corner. Hm, maybe I should title this Self Portrait by Shadow?

Anyway, see SuperGuy’s truck up there in the background? That’s going to be our garden :heart: I cannot wait. It’s right behind the house in a big old clearing. An expensive big old clearing…(we had to have a swampy lagoon cleared and filled in). I’m hoping to have some beds in and a fence around it in time to get in a fall crop. We’ll see.

Love Hate Relationship

by Kay~Kacey on 6/25/2012

So I have a love/hate relationship with hollyhocks. There, I’ve said it.

holly hocksThey are pretty, I’ll admit that.

If a big space in my garden is only going to give me a week of photo op…then it needs to be replanted with something that blooms longer. I’m just sayin’

Anyone want some hollyhocks?? (and is that one word or two??) I think it’s one, because my Apple spellcheck didn’t flag it as one word…)

Stalker

by Kay~Kacey on 6/20/2012

I was playing around awhile ago taking photos for a mock up for a friend’s book cover. Which led me to thinking up other crazy book covers… You know how I love to play with my photos in photoshop.

Anyway, I took some more photos and played around with them and came up with this make-believe book about The Love Nest.

The Love Nest Stalker

(stalker played by The Impish One)

I did have a good time creating the cover and playing with making it look like midnight…(took the house shot in broad daylight).

No, it’s not a real book. Yes, I should be cleaning the house, doing laundry, and paying bills…why do you ask?

So, what do you do to avoid your chores??
