They ... http://www.whoaphotos.com/blog/2008/07/01/heat-wave-dreams/ Last year, I was supposed to be unpacking from our big move to our new house, and instead I took a day off to take pictures of each type of flower currently blooming in our yard. You can see the 1st Annual Tour here. This year, I'm not really supposed ... http://www.whoaphotos.com/blog/2008/06/30/2nd-annual-flower-tour-of-my-yard/ That someone offered to pay me to drive around the country for 9 months and experience what different parts of the country are like, no strings attached.

Now, it's ... http://www.whoaphotos.com/blog/2008/06/25/canon-xti/ I've finally been able to start riding my bike to and from work, my damaged knee finishing up the healing process. Ya, I know, I didn't post about my damaged knee. I don't post my whole life here people! But whatever, I partially tore my MCL in an Improv class ... http://www.whoaphotos.com/blog/2008/06/24/talking-to-animals/ Last weekend, Hobostripper stayed with me.

I said Alapacapalooza: Three Days of Peace, Love, and Livestock. It was at a nearby fairgrounds a couple weeks ago, and I keep forgetting to post pictures.
