Demotivator

Have you ever been to Despair.com? I highly recommend visiting their site. It's very uninspirational. Seriously.

I had an idea for a contest. I thought I could post a picture and have you guys come up with a demotivator slogan. What do you think? Then we can make a calendar of our own!

Fingers of God

There was a Tornado Warning issued in our area last night. We were on our way home from car shopping and we made a pitstop at Walmart off Rufe Snow. We were there for about five minutes when we started hearing banging on the metal roof of the store. At first we were puzzled because it was so loud and not frequent enough to be hail. Then it really started hailing. There was an announcement on the overhead speaker, which we couldn't understand, and we saw a bunch of people head to the front of the store. So, we thought that was where we were supposed to go. Rob sent me to go see how big the hail stones were. I got a glimpse of a shattered hail stone, and the shards were big! Then I saw a stone hit on a grassy area, and it was larger than golfball size! Yikes!

We made our way to the middle of the store to continue our shopping (for some reason we weren't very worried) and found a bunch of people gathered there. Apparently that's were we were supposed to go in the first place. They had the radios turned up and we were listeneing to the weather reports. A tornado had been spotted about a mile from us. Yikes again!

When things cleared up, and we were finished with our shopping, we headed home. The skies were beautiful! I couldn't wait to get home and grab my camera and get some shots! I know the Lord blessed us yesterday. We didn't really need to stop at Walmart. The things we bought could have been bought at another time. We were definitely being watched over!

Who Needs Gum?

Who needs gum when you can blow spit bubbles!

Aren't they amazing? "How can I make a spit bubble?" you might ask.

Step One: Gather a lot of spit in you mouth; enough to coat your lips and chin (coating your chin is optional).

Step Two: Hum the letter 'M'.

Step Three: Slowly open your mouth and say "Aaaaaaahhhhh..." Make sure the spit forms a bubble. Otherwise, spit will just dribble out of your mouth and people will just think you're a fool.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh..."

"Aaaaaaaahhhh..." Oh, and don't forget to concentrate. Note the look of concentration on Emily's face. Focus is key.

"Aaaaaahhhhh"--*POP*
Repeat as necessary.

Good Morning! Good Friday!

More from the Back Forty

Here is a ball that was thrown into our yard by some neighbor kids. I want to kick it.

I want to blow on these. It's funny how as a kid, these were pretty cool. Now, they're bad news.

And I love these pretty weeds. They make me happy...until I realize that they're weeds and they have to be pulled.

Until next time...

Thunderstorm Warning!

What a great opportunity to get pictures!

While I am pleased with how these turned out, I noticed that some are pixellated (is that a word?). I think what happened is during editing, I lightened the pictures and it made it kinda grainy. Next time I'm taking the tripod and leaving the shutter open for longer amounts of time to get as much light as I can. See, I'm learning stuff!
