My Arms Aren't Long Enough

A few things to share; my first pickin's of the season and I'm so excited!

Okay, okay, I know radish is Super easy to grow, but hey, it's the little things right?

These could have probably stayed in the ground a bit longer, but once I saw red peeking out the top of the soil, I just couldn't help myself. 

I didn't even wait for the kids!  Shhh..

I guess I'm just a big kid.

I'm just happy that something is growing in my garden.  And I had to photograph them to document.

I'm hoping the photos are in focus though.  I had to put my Cannon on the manual setting because the auto focus was focusing on something other than on what I wanted it to focus on.  And I normally just snap photos on automatic.

Which brings me to item #2 I have to share;

My eyes are bad.

Really bad...for me.

I've never worn glasses and now when I read, I need to hold the book out at arms length! 

My arms aren't long enough anymore :(

The 40's are rough.....everything begins to take a dive.  I thought 40 was supposed to be the new 20.

Question.....Do I need to wear my reading glasses to use the manual focus on my camera?!

Happy Tuesday! Pin It

Help Me To Decide~CoolPix or not?

I absolutely LOVE my Canon Rebel digital camera, it takes the Best photos for me, but at times, I wish for a more compact camera that I can easily keep in my purse or pocket. Well, I finally broke down yesterday while at CostCo and bought a Nikon CoolPix itsy, bitsy, teeny weeny digital camera. I'm still not sure weather I'll keep it or not, bare with me while I share with you some test photos to help me decide. After taking a number of photos, a couple of them came out blurry. Apparently I must master staying VERY still while pressing the shutter-release button. The jury is still out on the camera....we'll see. Here are a few I took this morning using the Macro setting. Here's my Big Daddy.... Action photos at T-Ball practice this morning using the sports setting.... Playing 3rd Base.... Spectator Paige... I think the little camera did pretty well. I'll try it out for a few more days before I make my final decision. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Last night I had a craving for some juicy, flavorful beef for dinner. After reviewing our freezer full of natural beef, I decided on London Broil. I like to marinate London Broil and this is what I use most of the time..... I marinate the beef in the refrigerator for at least two hours, yesterday it was marinated all day. You can choose to broil or barbecue London Broil. I broiled mine, six minutes on one side and eight minutes on the other. Then let the beef 'rest', covered with foil for 10 minutes. Slice and enjoy.... I also steamed some vegis to go with it... And beef always goes well with some red wine. Last night it was a Corda blend Reserve...

Happy Saturday!
