First Friday ~ Dayton, Ohio

Birdman and I had gone to Dayton to see a couple of shows at the Neon. Afterwards we went for a walk through the Oregon District and as an added bonus it happened to be First Friday. There were several street performers and vendors out and we got to go through several art galleries.

We saw Winter’s Bone and The Kids Are All Right at the Neon. Both were great movies.

I am thinking that maybe I can start gluing wine corks over the rusted spots on my Jeep. And then it would just grow from there.

Surprise Blooms

I had never tried a water garden before.  This year we started simply with some water lettuce in a galvanized tube.  They multiplied like crazy, but then this week the most beautiful blooms appeared.
