Life in the Backyard

   Yesterday some friends invited us over for supper and games. Before we left home to go, they called again and said to be sure to bring the camera. They had spotted a large spider in the backyard and thought it might make a good photo.

   We did and it was and here it is, a writing spider:

   While I was out in their yard, I decided to see what else might be worthy of some attention, and here are some of the things I found.

   Something needs to be cleaned, I guess:

   A clock, not for telling time but for decoration:

   A bench that looks lonely:

   A cherub waiting for a visit:

   A watering can, not used for watering:

   A toucan decorating a palm tree:

   And the sunset as I ran out of light to do more:

   All in all, a good time, along with great food and a competitive game.

   A fun way to end the 2013 Labor Day.
