Multiple Roles

I've found it hard to be both photographer and bodyguard this week, and seeing that one job is slightly more important, the camera has been laid aside. So for your viewing pleasure, I've found some fun shots from the archives.

The loving brother...ah, to think that in only two months time the same sibling would be feeding his brother bits of celery!

Thrill of all thrills...there was a truck cleaning the sewer pipes in the neighborhood and it was parked on our street. Of course we went to investigate, and the workers let us look into the manhole.



Dad saw these compost bins on sale and bought 3, one of which he gave to us. My trusty handyman used the enclosed plastic wrench to assemble it, declaring after completely each one, "I done a good job!" I'm thinking maybe I'll just use it as a cage instead (there are holes for ventilation!).




I'm assuming that it's just the novelty, but the playmat is a magnet for boys of all ages. I have found, on more than one occasion, Matthew scooted to the side or pulled completely off as the older boys jockey for position on Scary Pooh.


Here are some shots of the tree in our front yard. It was neat to watch the changes that took place in less than two weeks.


This is for Mom: I've never seen a columbine like this and I don't know where I got it (it was probably half-dead at Lowe's).
