Over the Barrel

I took this close up of the barrel cactus in a pot on the patio a couple of days ago. Artistic, but watch out for the SHARP NEEDLES. Click on the image to enlarge.

Digital Keyboard

Several months back (a year maybe?) my digital keyboard gave up the ghost. I have been thinking about a replacement, so I went on-line and ordered this one. It’s a Yamaha 61-key synthesizer. It got very good reviews and was priced around $270 USD including shipping and accessories.

I started playing when I was five years old and I have almost always had a piano or organ, so I sort of missed having one. I’m looking forward to playing this nice new shiny rig.

Little Flower, Big Name

Verna — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 01:55:43 +0000

Argyranthemum Red is an awfully big name for these tiny flowers. Measuring less than an inch wide, these little guys add a lot of color to the garden in spring and summer. There are only a couple of these in the patio today, but there will be many, many more soon.

New Doormat

Bob — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 02:49:54 +0000

We’re fans of Kokopeli, an ancient subject of petroglyphs and pictographs throughout the southwest. Last week, we got this nice new doormat to place on the front porch in honor of Verna’s birth state, Arizona.
