Smart Phones!

   ~~~

(From my FB page)

 

 

 

My kids all have these types of 'smart phones.'
They suggest that C. and I need them, too!
We really don't, though!

I only have need of a cell phone about one day a week when I go out shopping...to call home and make sure C. is availa ble to help me unload the groceries when I get home!

:) I have a cheap cell phone that has no idea how to do all those 'smart' things my kids show me that their phones can do!

...As for other communications...everyone I know now-or have EVER known- can be found on Face Book...OR I can just walk next door and say 'hi' to my neighbors! :)

I DO think we have gone a little wild in these modern times with the things that we've grown to consider our necessities in our lives!

You might think this is a contradiction, since...here I am on a computer, after all...But you don't know how LONG I did resist getting a computer!! (a LONG time!!!)

BESIDES-I can't afford a 'Smart' phone! :)

Shadow Shot Sunday

*Find more SS posts here!*

This year my son-in-law started driving this Big Red Truck for the Crete trucking company!
(...with a LOOONG trailer behind it)

We were all glad Terry was able to be home for Thanksgiving.

(Our other S-I-L, Marc- who is also a trucker- wasn't able to get home!)

  :(   

Here Terry is heading out for the road again on the day after Thanksgiving!

I like these cool shadows of Terry in that big truck!

Bye bye, Terry!

Keep safe!

Ruby Tuesday~Aug 17, 2010~ What in the world...??

Today is...Ruby Tuesday!

What in the world is this?? I don't know!

My husband brought this in to show me this morning, after doing some mowing here at our place.

(He remembered my picture projects that I like to do!  :) -He mentioned Mellow Yellow but I said,"No-it's a perfect Ruby Tuesday")  :)

He said he found this growing along the fence and that it is common around here...but he didn't know the name of the vine.

I don't remember ever having seen it before.  Maybe I just never saw it at this stage with the pods popped open and the colorful seeds spilling out! How could I have missed it, otherwise!!

OK-I haven't looked it up but I took precautions in not touching it too much and letting the juice get on my hands. ...Never know...it could be toxic.It looks kinda evil but very beautiful to look at, nonetheless!

Does anyone know this plant? I'd like to know about it.

Update:

Someone asked in comments about the wording on the planter cup/pot, so I'm adding this picture that shows all of the 'quote!'

This is a new plant I have in my kitchen.  I have a bigger one in our entrance foyer.

I love these unusual, bright red blooms!

From my world today...


These 2 kinds of flowering vines are troublesome but pretty- and the butterflies and hummingbirds love them ~ so we just let them grow LOL ~ not that they are ever that easy to contain anyway!

I don't know the name of the orange flower...but the bright red one is called 'Cypress Vine.'

My mom always called it "Little Stars" plant. She remembered from her childhood in Alabama that her own mom loved this little plant. The small flowers are star shaped and a bright red and bloom profusely. The foliage, too, is very attractive with a frilly look to it!

The other little flowering vine is equally pretty...well, almost as...! :) They grow and mingle in my gardens, side by side ... almost taking over before the summer's end...but - Oh - they are pretty!



This next one is a type of Jasmine...not positive but I believe it's 'Star Jasmine!'
(I should look it up!)
It grows next to the back of our house and I like the contrast of the white flowers against the red brick!

Enjoy your autumn days!

Love,
Junie

This is a flowering vine I have growing in my back yard.
It's a red Passion flower.

There is also a purple one, which is more commonly grown, I believe.
I don't have that one ... but I think I prefer this deep red color of mine!
