Here is a fun test to see how accurately you can distinguish color. It only takes about 5-10 minutes, and is kinda fun. I only scored a 31, zero is perfect! I thought I would do better. The results even tell you where you color deficits are when you try to judge colors. My deficit was in the blue/green range. Awww, my favorite colors!<br />

With too many snow days off from school, and the driveway entry plowed shut, I have had time to blog again!<br />
Funky Junk Interiors has a theme this week about decorating with plates. I am excited to see what everyone <br />
does with their plates.<br />
<br />
The secretary in the living room has two plates.<br />

I have not been blogging for quite a while. I kept thinking I would, and then....... nothing. I mean, I couldn't even get interested in photographing Christmas!I don't know how those of you who work are able to keep up a blog! School has been quite a challenge this year. I come home too tired, too overwhelmed, and blogging has become another niggling little guilt because I am not doing it. It is supposed to be fun!<br />

I will be back. I may only blog in the summers, until I retire in a couple of years, I am going to leave that door open.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, I will be keeping up with all of you, enjoying your creativity!<br />

As you can see by these two last posts, I am in no hurry for fall, or Halloween. I have a bad habit of not getting interested in a holiday until about a week before. Kinda too late when you are a blogger. I still curse the stores when I go into them in August and Christmas is up already. So maybe after this post I might skip Halloween and get a head start on fall and Thanksgiving........ or not. .....<br />

It's time for Postcards from Vee. I love Vee's once a month party in which you pick 4 photos previously used on your blog and turn them into postcards. Some entries are themed, some are just great photos, but it is always a fun party. </div>

My entry this month is from about two years ago. The old downtown merchants put on a Scarecrow contest each October. Retailers are encouraged to put a scarecrow pertaining to their business along the old downtown main street. I took these early on a crisp Sunday morning. </div>

It was over 100 degrees again today, and neither of us were very hungry. So this was dinner. Warm bread sticks, a little wine, and tomatoes.<br />

We tasted these heirloom tomatoes: Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Green Zebra, and Old German.<br />
I also threw in a beefsteak tomato, not heirloom.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The above Cherokee Purple was our favorite. It was sweet and had the clear tomato flavor one expects. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Brandywine was our second favorite. It had a stronger, more acid flavor, yet still sweet. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first taste of Green Zebra was a surprise. It was kind of sharp and sour. My daughter said it would be good in Mexican food, salsa etc. Then she salted it and tried it again. We had not salted any of the tomatoes. Wow! It really changed the flavor of Green Zebra. Now we described it as tangy and crisp in flavor. We really liked it. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Neither of us liked the Old German at all, It had no flavor, but to be fair, it was less ripe than all the others. But I think it still might be too mild for our taste. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't even take a photo of the beefsteak tomato. By itself it was not that flavorful, but it works great for sandwiches, and with mayo and good old white bread, it is perfect.<br />

The above tomatoes all came in one box, and I don't know what they are. Except, since we liked the plum shaped ones the best (see location at 12 and 6 above). I did some research. They are also an heirloom Russian black plum tomato. Blackish purple on the inside, they taste a lot like the Cherokee Purple. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What tomatoes do you like? Do you grow heirloom tomatoes? I would really like to know what ones you think are good.<br />

Joining Vee's Note Card Party today with the theme of ghost town. If you know someone who likes history and old stuff, these would make great notecards!</div>
<br />
I took these photos a couple of years ago when my daughter and I stopped at this old mining town.<br />

On returning from a recent trip to a sunflower farm, I came home to make an arrangement. Those sunflowers look a lot bigger at home than they do out in the field. This is the biggest vase I have!<br />

About 30 minutes away from me, near the wonderful town of Lawrence, Kansas ( Home of the Jawhawks), is a beautiful sunflower farm. Early Sunday morning we went there to take photos and cut some sunflowers.<br />

You just can't capture the beauty of fields of sunflowers, with all their little faces turned toward the sun. I don't think God was in church either, He was here!</div>

There were several cars pulled over with people taking photos. I saw a cute family taking some portraits in the fields. I came prepared with a step ladder, because these are soooo tall I needed the ladder to look over the field. </div>

Think <i>Under the Tuscan Sun. </i><br />
<br />
When I recommend books to read, you must note that I am not picking from the best sellers list. I do not read the disturbing blood and guts mysteries, nor any vampire or shades of gray types. I don't read biographies of screwed up people. SO, now is the time to quit reading this post if the above are your choices.<br />

I am reading constantly, having 2 books going at once, and maybe an audio book too, but this last one I read really is staying with me. Do you ever read a book and then keep thinking about the characters, wanting to still be a part of their lives?<br />

<br />
<i>Porch Lights</i> takes place on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. Three generations are together in the family home, and little Charlie (10 years) and Glam (Glamorous Grandma) steal the dialogue. Funny, heart wrenching, with lots of descriptions of island life there. I liked all the characters, and although the ending is predictable, it is a good summer read.<br />
<br />
In addition, when I travel, I listen to audio books in the car. I picked up <i>Porch Lights,</i> the audio, at the library for my mom, and I must say the reader is EXCELLENT. This is the book you want to hear! Let someone tell you this story!<br />
<br />
I am also reading <i>The Mermaid Garden </i>by Santa Montefiore.<br />

Set in modern Italy and England, the author provides a lush, tranquil atmosphere and wonderful characters you want to know. The story is set at a beautiful old estate on the English coast. :You come to know the family who own the hotel, as well as the guests who come and go. Italy is drawn into the book with a corresponding story that brings all the characters together.<br />

I have read several books by Elin Hilderbrand and <i>Summerland</i> does not disappoint.</div>

Taking place in Nantucket, the author's home, the story follows the lives of three families with teenagers who all live there year round. In a close-knit island community, a teenage car accident defines and changes the lives of these families. A more serious summer read, Hilderbrand draws you into each families' dynamics, as she tells the story through several different characters point of view. </div>

Plastic sheeting is a necessary evil behind Oliver's cage, as the more he likes his food, the more he slings it. ( Think fresh strawberries or blueberries on the walls)</div>
<br />
A new table for his cage was a Walmart put together. I did it too! Took me two hours ( A to B, B to Q?)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Underneath the table is a little slotted box I picked up at a garage sale. I added playing cards, poker chips, the old viewmaster and discs for it.</div>

I did this tablescape at 6:30 in the morning, cause it is so stinkin hot any other time of day. I wonder if any neighbors are watching saying " craaaaazy lady". Who sets the table at 6:30 am and takes it down at 7:00 am, and no food and no guests? If anyone watching were bloggers, then they would understand. </div>

I love to have little nooks in the yard to discover as you walk around. This is my little pot garden in the shade. It has been my favorite area lately with 100 + temps. I have been working outside in the mornings or evenings only, and coming in every half hour or so, or I get wet in the sprinkler! </div>
