Swimming!!

Yesterday Dad convinced me to say that if the pool was 66° I would go swimming. It was 66°!! I jumped in a couple times and numbed up to it!! It was actually quite refreshing!!

Flowers

The flower bed right in front of the house is flowering (see Lorissa's blog), so I decided to take some pictures. I was wondering around taking random pictures with the flowers and went into the den saw the flashlight and boom!! a light bulb went on in my head.

These particular pictures I took and Lorissa edited and cropped(thank you, Lori!!).

At first, I just had the flashlight shining straight at them, but I found that it made the flower extremly white and out of focus. So I put a sock(yes, a sock, it was clean:) in front of it and found that it gave a much softer light. Then I taped the flower to the sock and snapped a picture!

You may have noticed that there is a little logo at the bottem of my posts. This is the Picasa logo, and, if you have Picasa, you know it has a little button that says 'Blog This' . I decided to try it and found that it goes a lot faster than regular posting!

Fantastic Books

Right now I'm reading this wonderful series, The Lord of the Rings. I'm almost to the end of The Fellowship of the Ring, and can't wait to start on the third.

We have watched the movies before, now some scenes in the book really stand out and are very vivid. So now I want you to tell me whether you have read the book, watched the movie, neither, or both, using the sidebar survey gadget!
