This is a nice article, very worthwhile to read. When I saw the title, shots for girls, I thought it was going to be about shots for teenage girls or something like that. But it is about getting shots for your animals. It tells us about this particular person and where they go for their dogs shots, and it talks a little bit about animal insurance. The piece goes on about how expensive a lot of the vets are, and I know from experience that this is true. I have insurance on myself, but if I didn't the cost for me and my pet would be the same thing, and the pet might even be a little bit more. This is a good article, it gets you thinking.
This particular week-end, was just as nice as any other week-end, however, this time as we were going we came upon a horse and buggy that the Amish in this area drive, we are able to pass them when the road is safe for us to do so. This particular time I had my camera quite handy and was able to take a picture of it. There are a lot of horse and buggy's on the roads in this camping area. It's something to think about that some people have kept to the old ways. Of course not all of them do so. The horses that draw these buggies are beautiful, you can't see this one but you can tell they are very well taken care of. The second picture is something that I had found by the edge of the bank of the creek. Wildflowers which are so feathery looking and so dainty. There were quite a few of these wildflowers around. I don't think I have seen these before. If you look at it, it looks as though they have an ivy type leaf. I was just sitting watching the water flow past, when I happened to look closer up on the bank and that is when I found these adorable looking wildflowers. You never know what you will see while you are camping. The days are winding down. There is exactly two more months of weekends for us, and then the campground closes. It has been a fun summer doing this, but you do find out quite quickly that being gone on the week-ends a lot of house chores are left for a later time. Winter will be here and then there will be plenty of time to do things in the house. For now we are enjoying the little get a ways.
It's been beautiful weather this summer, and I have enjoyed it immensely. I finally was out in the heat of the day and really got to feel the hotness of this summer. I actually went indoors a couple of times because it was just to hot and uncomfortable to stay outside in it. Here are a couple of pictures of Longwood Gardens to enjoy while we still have this beautiful weather. Today is the first day of September and the summer will be winding down. So lets enjoy what we have left of this summer. Hope you enjoy these pictures.
One is of the fountains, it's looks nice and refreshing to be sitting there watching the fountains as the music played in the background. But this particular day was quite hot. This is the trip that I had taken with my son and his family. Pictures are so nice to have of the little getaways that we take during the summer. The second picture is an assorted array of flowers. They are beautiful. If the weather wasn't so hot one could just stand and look at the flowers and watch the bumblebees come and go along with the butterflies, as they look to get nectar for food. It was a lovely day and that we were able to spend time with my son and family made it that much more enjoyable. This trip was for adults only, the kids stayed at home. I don't think this would stand up to amusement parks in the eyes of the kids.
This piece I found to be very informative. It tells us the different parts a serious hot rod engine would have. It informs us that hot rods have been around for over forty years. It tells us about rebuilds. It goes on to tell us some of the most popular types of hot rod cars. The article goes on to tell us if you are planning on rebuilding an engine what types of tools you should have to take apart and what kind you would need to put back together. Even what you should have if your going to rebuild more then just one engine. Great article to read. Lots of information.
Here is a favorite of ours at Longwood Gardens. The lilypad ponds are so magnificent and so beautiful.The first Lilypad in my photograph is a huge one with the sides turned up, these really catch my eye and my heart, I love these big ones. If you look at them close and see all the intricate patterns they have on them it is simply amazing. The second picture I have is of the big ones and the smaller lilypads, and some flowers that are in bloom. Very beautiful and relaxing just to sit and look at them. Something about these plants keep me coming back each time we visit Longwood Gardens. The third picture is of different lilypads and in the background you can see some of the plantings that they have planted around the lily pond. I just loved being able to have caught some of the background flowers in with the lilies. I have some more to post in a later post of more lily flowers. I hope you have enjoyed these pictures as much as I have enjoyed seeing them again this year and taking pictures of them. If your in the area and have not yet visited these gardens you simply must take the time to do so. Maybe on a day when they will have fireworks as well at night, as we had done the one year.
