perfect eyes


so we went to the opthomologist today to see if we needed to fix this little problem...
good news. he has perfect vision, and we need to do nothing...
it will now be something we can still giggle about.
when was the last time a doctor told you something that made you giggle?

man without hair

before
after





just picked up hunter from training at camp pendelton. i guess part of the freshman ritual, is the shaving of certain heads...primarily hunter's. apparently he was the only one who would go along with the prank...what a good sport he is. his senior friend and team mate, michael english did the shaving...and left his eyebrows alone. for some freshman a couple of years ago, that was not the case. i threatened anyone who touched my boys eyebrows with bodily harm.
looks as if they were listening.
anyway, was the bearer of corky's breakfast burritos this morning...they were a big hit for these hungry boys...and this is what i saw as i approached the water...a team of 42 water polo boys who looked like a pod of seals.

i could not pick out the familiar head i know so well...it had changed a bit.

color love






so i visited one of my favorite places yesterday...plant depot in san juan. bought a few new succulents for my succulent conglomeration...after spending like 20 minutes deciding which ones i would take home..such a big decision, you know. then put together a pot which sits on a table outside of my french door by my kitchen. the pot has been empty for awhile, looking very neglected. now it is adorned with some beautiful foliage...inspired by the amazing pots scattered on the sidewalks of downtown salt lake city. i used this one plant which is a bright chartreuse green (dont know the name of it, of course). i think this is my favorite color in the whole world, besides the greyish green color of an olive tree and these amazing succulents...o then again, i think toby's coat color is my ultimate favorite, the color of my walls.
that deep greyish, silvery brown.

so what color does it for you?
