Creatures of the Night

I Love My Daddy

Sweet Pea. He's a sweetie.

Gray Camouflage

Old gray cat in an old gray chair. Do not be alarmed. He's just yawning.

A Rather Large Praying Mantis

Autumn Marigolds

Succulent

I don't remember what this plant is called but I love the colors and shape of it.

Broom Bristles

A Migratory Monarch

Ragged Winged Butterfly & Bee

This butterfly was so intoxicated by the flowers it would not leave. I was able to get multiple photos. The monarchs, which will be featured here tomorrow, were flitting around a bit.

The Great Toads of Kona Ranch

One of them anyway. I just snapped this a few minutes ago. I was out on the patio and heard something behind me moving. Sweet Pea perked up and ran over to the path to check it out. I actually thought it might be an opossum since I saw a large one out there last night. Nope, just a noisy toad.

Homemade Burger Buns

Made by txrad. The height of them is not ideal, but hey, first try. And way cheaper than those bought in a store. And nothing tastes like fresh bread. Nothing.

Yeast Infatuation

We normally buy those 3 attached packets of yeast for our baking needs. They cost about $1.09 each for 3 packs. Each pack has 2 1/2 teaspoons of yeast.

txrad decided to buy a bulk container of yeast which filled up an entire quart jar. It was under $3.00 and should provide us with enough yeast for 64 pizzas. Prior to this we would spend over $23 on yeast for 64 pizzas. Something to think about.

I think the little granules are beautiful to behold.

Check back tomorrow morning to see something new txrad made using yeast.

What's Bright, White, and Green?

An energy-efficient light bulb in our bathroom.

Idol Worship

I Was Four Years Old

This is not an Ayers reference.

Debate Night #3

Let's hope it's worth the wait. I can't handle another snoozer.

McCain doing a rather startling Johnny Rotten look. Click the pic.

Wet Hibiscus

Yes, it has been drizzly this morning!

Live Oak

Dropping very tiny acorns upon our heads.

Green, Crisp and Fresh

Celery stalk and leaves plus a jalapeño.

Portobello Art

This one seems to have a sense of humor!

Food Scraps

Ugly. But it decomposes.

Lizard on the Window

Moss on the Garden Gate

Knarly Garden Gate Post

Spent Blossoms

Pommes de Terre

Sunflower Stalks

Large Mantis

Destined for Pizza
