Ahhh summer. *sigh*

I just love relaxing summers. What would be great, is if I could really HAVE one! Let's see here, summer is almost over and so far my legs have seen maybe 3 hours of sunlight. I've visited the pool 2 times. And vacation is only a word I've used in crossword puzzles.

What I HAVE been doing, is feeding calves, pigs, dogs, rabbits, toads, frogs, turtles, kids, husband and sometimes even myself. I've been struggling to help the kids start and finish (mostly start) 4H projects for the county fair. I've managed to put up a little sweet corn and green beans in the wee little hours before the sun breaks over the horizon (breaks, not sets). And, I've woken at 2am various mornings to let the dog out and then fold clothes or sort socks since I can't get back to sleep.

Ahhhh, summer. Oh Ee Oh, it's a farmer's life for me! (but it does make for cute pics!)

Photoshop Candy!

I love Photoshop! (So, why don't you marry it?!)...
Seriously, I love Photoshop and thanks to my friend J9, I have found a new website that touches every one of my interests....well, MOST of them : )

It's called Thepioneerwoman.com and there's a section of Photoshop quick tips that is to die for. So I played with it this morning and very quickly (talking 2-3 minutes) I found a photo that one of my kids had taken during a fit of boredom at a graduation reception. And I applied some of the quick tips to "enhance" said photo. And here are the results:
