Stickin' close to home.

Surgery took more out of me than I'd expected. I thought about posting some pictures of my tore up torso...but they're too gross.

When in doubt shoot the kids.

Aliana has not been the best subject lately, mostly because she hides up on the hill with a book. I can't blame her, as I'd be up there too if I did not have to work. She did come down and do some planting however, so here she is. Oldest daughter in the dirt.

I think they're bulbs meant to yield red flowers. That reminds me of my dear dead dad. He had a whole bunch of red flowers planted outside his house in his last year. One of the last really cool things he and I did together was to attend my brother's wedding in PA. I have pictures of him there getting little seeds or berries or something handed to him by Aliana. He was overjoyed.

I think he'd like these pictures.
