Summer home

Over the weekend I moved my house plants to the front porch... their summer home. Of course, another cold front came through. they just had to suffer through the 40 degree nights.

what wind can do

this has happened the last two cold fronts that have blown through. Our basketball goal has decided to lay down - lol.

No Strings Attached

I knew sooner or later my veggies would need some help growing up instead of sideways so this weekend I tied string across the inside of my wire. Now I just need to train the cucumber to climb. check out how tall my corn is already :).

You can see it just in front of the pot.

Marine tribute

I saw this truck driving home. I keep hoping a signal light would catch him so I could take a picture. when I realized it wasn't going to happen I did a very bad thing ... I took the shot while driving. You can't see the Marine emblem very well but that's what is in the circle and I can't remember what it says around it now. I thought the whole thing was beautiful and it made me think of my friend Chandra and her Marine :).

(Oh, that's the light I turn left at and I was kicking myself after I turned for not following the truck a little further. Bet he got caught at the next light... I always do - lol. I'll be on the look out for him again.)

I thought I saw a Putty cat?

This is one of the Panther sculptures outside the football stadium. The stadium is right next to the parking deck I park in. I walked around the back of it to get this shot. I noticed before I took the picture that the eye was "shining" in the sun. I had never noticed the green eyes before. It look wicked cool and I was so happy when I saw it was captured in the picture. BTW, Our Panthers and the Jacksonville Jaegars look like the same cat. I've always wondered if the same artist did both of them, but I've never wondered enough to research it - lol.

Around the world...

This is a scuplture located on the corner near one of my company's buildings. I thought of it the other day and walked by to take these shots. It "floats" in water and rotates continuously. I took both shots from the same spot. I just waited for it to rotate. It is the coolest scuplture I've ever seen and I love looking at it. It's not on my normal walking route to my office so I don't see it often. I guess I should take this detour more often.

"SOX" Monkey

I don’t know if any of you were affected by the Sarbanes-Oxley (SoX) Compliance that came about after the Enron fiasco, but I was. We have all kinds of paper work now that has to be completed and updated each year. I was on the original project to collect all the information to document. After the project completed, we were given a sock monkey – get it? He sits at the corner of my cube to remind me of that horrible time – lol. His shirt says "Keep the SOX monkey off your back" One of my co-workers that also worked on the original project hung his monkey from the ceiling - snort.
