May 23rd Photo-A-Day W
Our hike today provided no antlers. However, I did find a small spool of rusted wire. I know; you are wondering the same thing I am. WHY on earth did I bring it home?? I dunno. In the back of my mind I see a craft project that would require a rustic, rusted spool of wire. It will go nicely with the rusted round thing I found a while back. OR maybe I’m just stretching it with the letter W?! A was easy. The rest of the alphabet is gonna do me in!! Z will probably be a full post about my son Zachary. X and Y?? OHMGEEEE it’s gonna…

May 22nd Photo-A-Day V
This letter was a hard one. I don’t have a volcano to snap a picture of. No vampire here. Haven’t seen a vulture either. The VIOLENT wind we are having today would be super hard to snap a picture of so, I decided that I would just snap a picture of a vine outside the front door. But when I looked down I found a clump of wild violets. That’s a way better picture than vine that hasn’t flowered yet. So I give you Violets. In case you want to check out a creepy treehouse be sure to read Photo A Day T

Before you can call her out on that nasty habit it’s GONE!!) Of course the Mama hunts for shed (antlers) Up to FOUR now!! This last one being the nicest and largest. Noooo that’s not my Unique, although it’s really cool looking and each and everyone of them is different. I have yet to find a match set. (YET!)

I am kinda excited about this particular Photo-A-Day T prompt because this old gal climbed up into the tree house! Yes, I DID!!!
