Frog Decor

I was leaving a friend's house today when I noticed this cute little frog decor in the front yard of the house next door.

Pretty Green House

I see this house every time I go to my grandkid's Ju Jitsu lessons.  I got there a little early today, so I grabbed the camera and took a few images.

I love the color of this house and it looks like it would be real sweet inside, but I'll probably never get the chance to see it personally.

My heart is grateful that:

the weather has been so nice lately

Small White House

While waiting for the train to move off the railroad crossing I photographed this little White House.  A very plain structure, but everything is very green due to all the rain we've had recently.  When I walked around to the front of the house, it was even more plain so I'm glad I got this image.

My heart is grateful that:

at least for a little while this spring, the grass and bushes are green and we've had much needed rain

I had to get up a little earlier than usual this morning and when I looked out the patio door, I saw the lights on the deck next door.  The sky was just getting light but I wondered why the deck light was on in the next yard.  I'll probably never know, but I thought it looked interesting.

My heart is grateful that:

I was able to take great cupcakes to share with my fellow early-voting-poll-workers today

White Home

This structure is referred to as the White House by the locals.  I've been here for 4.5 years and this is what it's looked like the entire time.  Rumor has it that a husband had this built for his wife, but they never lived there.  I don't know what the rest of the rumor is, I don't know why it hasn't been inhabited. Seems a shame though.

It's a bit more house than I'd want, but if I liked entertaining this would probably be just the place to do it.

My heart is happy that:

I don't have to pay the taxes on a "home" like this

Decor

Kind of desperate for a photo for today.  It's beautiful outside right now, but will get much warmer as the day progresses.  Grabbed this shot on my patio.

My heart is grateful for:

the anticipation of my visit with a friend I haven't seen in 4 years

Junk Yard

Several months ago someone in one of my photo groups organized a field trip to what she thought was a junk yard.  It was actually a scrap metal yard, so it was basically filled with piles and mountains of scrap metal in various stages of ruin and decay.   We spent a few hours wandering around making images.  The interest was in the details.
