Halloween Festivities

Today I got to hangout with Ohiophotogrl at one of her photo shoots! We had been spending some time on FB telling people to come see us at This Old Couch here in Beavercreek Ohio.

The first thing we did yesterday was decorate for Halloween. We had straw and pumpkins and spiderwebs and ghosts just to name a few things. We took pictures and then the kids got to make a craft. There was watercolor painting and ghost making!


We took pictures of little ghosts and goblins. There was Mr bacon, a gorilla, a female swat team member, there where ballarinas, a hobbit, Elsa, Spider-Man, a hot pepper, a minion, Mickey Mouse, witches, a ninja, a pig, woody,a mommy, Harry Potter and a sugar skull girl! People brought dogs too! How fun! You can see pictures of these wonderful costumes on Ohiophotogrl Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/pennycollinsphotography

We decided to dress as superheroes for the day…this is me


We had so much fun! Met lots of neat new people! Makes me wonder what we are going to do next?

Time for your meds….

Hey everyone!

Sorry it has been a little while for a blog….Life at our house has been crazy. Ohiophotogrl has not been feeling to well and I have had to take care of her.  I have had to make sure she is eating and taking her meds.  Its a hard job but someone has to do it.

On a side note did you know that you are not suppose to give your medication to other people.  Thats right its a nono! The police station will gladly dispose of your medication if you have old meds or medication you can no longer take.  It must be out of the package but they have a place you can get rid of it without flushing it down the toilet or throwing it away.

Good news she is on the mend and we should be able to get out and enjoy some of this new fall weather!

Thanks for being along for the ride!  More adventures are coming :0)

Wonder what were gonna do next?

 

It’s green day

Every year on March 17, the Irish and the Irish-at-heart across the globe observe St. Patrick’s Day. What began as a religious feast day for the patron saint of Ireland has become an international festival celebrating Irish culture with parades, dancing, special foods and a whole lot of green.
  
Today we are all Irish! Don’t forget to wear your green and please be careful out there!

Wonder what we will do next…..

Family time

20130907-214354.jpgToday Ohiophotogrl and I had to take her sister to the doctor.  She wasn’t feeling so good so we drove her. Doctor gave her some meds and she will be feeling better soon!

Then we had to start prepping for Valentines day.  Ohiophotogrl is going out tonight and I am staying home and watching the dogs.  We are going to have so much fun.  I think we are going to watch a movie.

Ill tell you all about it soon!

She did get up but there was no real going out today.  Where live the temperature is around 34 degrees but with the windchill it feels more like 23…..BRRRRRRRRR!  For those of you in the areas that got snow we feel for you!

We hung out and did some stuff around the house!

What do you do when it hurts your face to go outside?  Give us some ideas!

Wonder what were gonna do next?

Keeping bees

Today Ohiophotgrl and I are at Possum Creek Farm enjoying a talk on bee keeping!

Mike (the bee keeper) is a multi generational bee keeper. He is a fourth generation beekeeper.


What a great talk……

Did you know that there are more than 20,000 species of Wild bees! Thats a lot of bees!

Bees pollinate a third of what we use everyday….even Gas!

Bees live about 60 days. The Queen will live 3-5 years.


Avg bees in a hive is 50,000 mostly lady bees inside and only about 800 male. The drones are the boys. One queen bee in each hive. The queen leaves the hive one time and that is to mate.

Hive tempature is approximately 70 degrees inside. The worker bees do this!

Don’t swat at bees. They just want to work and collect there pollen and water and go back home. You are not pollen. Just walk way from them.

The parks offer lots and lots of great kid/big kid friendly programs!

We are now a lot more knowledgeable about bees :0)

Wonder what we’re gonna do next?

Now what…..

Wonder what we will do next?
