May 7, Lilacs

I love lilacs. And when we moved into our house, I kept saying, "If only we had some lilac bushes, I'd be set." And then one day late last spring, I walked around the back fence, and saw some sad but familiar-looking flowering purple plant. LILACS! We had about 4 huge bushes all along! I spent hours and hours pruning (is that the right verb?) the bushes early last summer in hopes they would produce healthy lilacs this spring. Happily, the bushes are blooming away right now. Happiness!

May 6, Phish 3D in Cheyenne!

Last night was so much fun! We headed towards our neighbors to the north to watch the new Phish 3D movie recapping Festival 8. Some people drive to Denver, and others to Wyoming. Luckily the Cheyenne movie theater wasn't crowded, so we all got seats together. (Ha, ha!) It made me giggle to see Trey, Page, Mike, and Fishman in 3D. Some of my friends thought the 3D wasn't necessary, but the slight cheesiness factor, and feeling like I was really there, won me over. They played the best Suzy G I've ever heard (if only I had gone to Indio!) featuring Sharon Jones, Saundra Williams (loved her energy), and a very happy Trey. Viva Phish! Now if only we can square away this Telluride situation...

May 3, Humidity

This photo was taken from a Bojangles (fried chicken and biscuits and cajun fries fastfood joint) parking lot in Whiteville, North Carolina. It was 85 degrees out, very humid, and about to storm. The Bojangles parking lot was jumpin'. I can just feel that soft humidity when I look at this shot, which makes me happy.

May 2, Like Father...

Like father, like son...the two of them have spent the last three days surf fishing. It has been fun to watch.

May 1, Fish Fry

I choose this photo from yesterday. Sometimes it is hard for me to pick the "best" images versus the images that mean more to me. In this photo Rob and his dad are about to fry up yesterday's catch. I've never actually eaten the fish that Rob has spent hours and hours at the beach reeling in (in Bethany he threw them back or gave them to our beach neighbors), or participated in a fish fry. The fish were tasty, and we ate them with hush puppies, tater tots, and gulped all that down with homemade sweet tea.
