I was walking home from the Ballston metro on Friday like I do some days. I walk through the mall and then down Carlin Springs to Park. I cross George Mason and rt 50, and then Park ends with an entrance to a walking trail that connects to my neighborhood. While walking through that section, I can across this incredible bright orange fungus at the base of a tree! It is quite large too, though you can't tell that very well from this picture.
Shep's dad was at a garage sale and found a box of wine corks for $2! I got them home and added in my collection and this is the result. I put my hand (fingers straight) in the box for size reference! I think I will be able to start on my project now (I'll have to figure out exactly what it is I want to do!).
So back on March 25, we had a snowstorm and I took pictures but didn't post them! Probably since they'd given us off for the snowquester flop, we had to work, so I got ready super fast to make my first snowman of winter before work! The first three shots are of the snow in the morning, and the last one is to show my snowman faired during the day!
Turned into rain and didn't give any accumulation on the roads at all. :-(
Funny comments I've seen:
- snowquester furloughed!
- slushquester
They are predicting 8-10 inches now! The govt is shut down for the day and Shep is staying home as well. It is really just starting to stick on the roads now, and is 33 degrees outside, so I hope this lives up to expectations!
This weekend I got the idea to make complementary state pictures for Shep and me! At first I was going to do both like the NY one, but with Shep's in green (because that is his favorite color) but then decided it might be cool to have the land in green to represent his love of the forest and my blue represent water!
I also made tiny little hearts over Arlington and Setauket, but they had to be super tiny to fit on Long Island!
They are still drying, but we will hang them in the living room when done.
