Post A Photo, A Real Photo

@Amish Heart have to confess I had to google whoopie pie and you are darn right that is precisely what it looks like and it is chocolate too. However simply lovely in taste I imagine the calories per piece are astronomical however for a special treat we will take the risk ;D .

 

[Sewingcreations15]

@Sunshine those trees look so pretty in blossom .

 

[Amish Heart]

Some things are worth the risk.
That would be one of them.
A big slice of german chocolate cake or peanut butter cookies are another

At first I thought that person couldn't get there fast enough, but a closer look shows an interesting attention getting advertisement.

 

[Sentry18]

This is kind of cool.

Sentry, I took your advice and we got away. We finally got out fro awhile and went to the beach, no luck fishing there so on the way home stopped by St.Johns River bridge and hubby caught this red drum. It is 17" long we measured it. It was dark already so we didn't stay long.

This was one friendly bird ! He came right up to us and we gave him shrimp.

Bridge on SR 16 going into GreenCove Springs where we caught the fish. One fish is better than no fish I guess. It was just a day trip so had fun.

The beach is still not quite what it was before storms last year but still nice .

Free ,no rent ,no morgage, no taxes. We thought of this but about time we did it they would make it illegal, lol. Plus storms would be rough on the old body's.
St.Augustine Lions Bridge.

The “International Motorsports Hall of Fame” is located in Talladega AL. It’s a neat place to visit. They have some very special cars there.

First up… In April 1987 at Talladega, Bill Elliott drove this car to the fastest official lap ever run by a stock car when he qualified for the Winston 500 at 212.809 mph...

My stepdad donated his stockcar to this museum and I have visited.

Absolutely spectacular moon.

This picture was past down to me through the family. I don't know where it was taken, but I love it. I do know that my family member that owned it was born in the 1890's. How cool is this pic!

I just had 1 of these pop up randomly in my yard a couple weeks ago. I told dh he has to mow around it and that we will eventually just let that patch get bigger and bigger. Nature dictated this flower bed.

I have huge patches of them all over the farm.

They spread like crazy, and are my Springtime wake up call.

No , I have a couple barns, but that is not one of mine.
But there are many like it all around here.

There is a hwy , that 100 years ago a family planted Daffodils along the hwy easement for over a mile , and now its solid 30 ft wide and a mile long , along this country hwy going from Eddyville Ky to Fredonia Ky.

It is awesome.

Some random photos from yesterdays snowfall.









From today a couple from making chili and rustic bread to go with. No pictures of the chili since hey, its just chili. Bread turned out exceptional though.

Here ya go! Something most of you haven’t seen, wild flowers with a yellow center but the bloom has green petals. They are hard to see but there are 4 blooms in this photo. It's rare in these parts...

I’m still refiling plant photos and found a folder of “unknowns” tonight. I took this photo back about ’11 maybe in ’12. I went back to that spot the next two years and never saw these plants again. Back then I never identified it. I kept looking in the sunflower “sub-family” of plants because it reminded me of some of the wild sunflowers.

Sunflowers are in a larger “family” of plants named Asteraceae. It’s a very tricky family of plants.

Tonight, I think I’ve identified this plant (I’m much better at identifying unknowns now). I think it’s a cousin of the sunflowers but not in their sub-family.

Anyway, I belong to a FB group that has several botanists as members. I’ll post there tomorrow for confirmation.

So for your amusement…

@Peanut ah grasshopper most interesting find

I don't know what they are either, but, they're everywhere here.

Actually, the hands-only CPR is something fairly new- the American Heart Association found when lay people do CPR, they were not getting the breathing right, didn't want to do mouth-to-mouth with a stranger, or didn't get the airway open right. They found that if people could do compressions without the breathing part, the patient has just as good a chance as surviving- better, in fact, since there were more compressions done than the old way. You'll still see professional rescuers doing the old way, but they've been better trained to get the airway part right than your average lay rescuer.

learn something new everyday. Every first aide course I have taken in th3 past 40+ years had both, but they are always changing something

@NannyPatty I believe the plant is "Bidens vulgata ". Its much more common west of the mississippi and north of the ohio river, sort of rare in the southeast.
