Hi!

For all of you who don't know, I have move to Boise, Idaho. I thought I would spare you living through my move, since you have already seen me move three since 2013..... and that is more moving than anyone needs to vicariously live through.

Joel was hired in Boise to do some coding. I don't really know what he does..... but, that is why we moved.

With the move, won't have to work for a while, at least until I get bored. I am taking the opportunity to be creative. It is a weird transition going from working to not working..... sometimes I don't know what to do with myself.

Anyway, I have planted a little garden on my patio. A little butterfly came to visit, I think it is a kind of skipper, I am still researching, but as always, if you can identify it that would be great!  (if you remember, Dad gave me an old macro lens with a DSLR adapter, it is pretty hard to manually focus on the butterfly because the you have to manually set the aperture on the lens! I haven't done that in years! Thankfully this little one held still for a bit.)



Look at the blue fuzz!!

Oh Hai!!

Also, some kind of mason bee, I think:


And just one of my daisies:



Inky is doing great! You don't have to worry about her! You can always follow her adventures on Instagram: @msinkyjones or me @jessies6005!


See you all tomorrow!!

Have a great night!

July 27th 2014

Today was the last day of the Washington County Fair. I almost forgot to go to the fair and see how my entries did. I received two second place ribbons, three third place ribbons, and two honorable mentions. I suppose it isn't a bad showing to place on seven of the eight photos I entered. I did find the three of the judges selections for Best in Show questionable, but I am not a judge so what do I know.....

I took some photos while I explored the fair. I think I was biased toward the Oregon Renaissance Festival of Hillsboro's booth...  At least I found it the most visually appealing to me today. The animal barns were dark and all the animals were facing the wrong way.....





Yay! The queen took a photo with me!



There was also a very nice show garden.










And I learned how to ready a mule to pull a wagon.



Some of the gear he used was from the US Army in WW1

This little guy was hanging out at the Max Station. He seemed to be confused by the glass. I helped him out.

Have a great night!
