Yuck

Usually the very first thing I do when I wake, at 4:30 a.m. every  morning, is let my dog out.  If I do not he will not leave me alone while I do my devotions.  When I opened the door I could see something in the street but could not quite tell what it was since it was so dark.  When I was leaving for work I saw it was this.

Ok, that is so gross.  It was really windy that night and I am assuming the neighbors trash got knocked over.  Then someone proceeded to run over it in the alley and drug it out in the street. That could happen.  I thought well they will see it and pick it up or the trash man will be here soon and will have to drive right over it surely he will pick it up.  Right?  Nope neither the neighbor or the trash man picked it up.  When I came home for lunch it was still all there.  I was kind of upset.  I think if that is your trash you know.  I would know if it was ours.  It had everything in it from Kentucky Fried Chicken boxes to diapers. If you ate Kentucky and have a baby you know that trash is yours, pick it up.  I thought well I am going to leave it there until I get home from work a little after 3.  When I got home it was pick up.  My husband works early morning hours and so he is home from work before I am.  I said did you see all that trash?  He said, "Yes it was still there when I got home so I got a shovel and picked it all up."  Ugh, ok.  I just could not believe someone was so lazy they would not pick up the trash that was theirs.  Or even the trash man who drove right by it. 

The point to this story?  I don't know, it just made me upset that someone could not pick up their own trash or that someone else could not take the time to go above and beyond the job they are paid to do. 

 I'm done ranting.

Here are a few pictures taken with the new camera by my hubby.  He knows I just love seeing this cardinal.

Little things make me happy.

 

Doesn't he make you excited for spring.  He is just gorgeous.

I was the winner

Again I have not taken the time to write anything for a while.  I always go and visit other blogs but never take the time to work on mine.  A while back I won the greatest little Canvas print.  I just love pictures of farm houses.  I plan on hanging it in the family room with a few others I have but have not done it yet.  I am trying to decide if I should paint first or not.  Anyway I won it from the Karen at Stairstep Boys she is so cute and I just love her blog.  Here is a picture of the print. 

My husband also bought us/ME a new camera.  It is a fancy one to me and I am learning to use it.  It has so many options on it.  I just love it but I need to take a class to learn everything about it.  Here is a picture of the one he bought us/ME.

                                       

  

Very nice don't you think.  I am excited to take it to Courtney's volleyball tournament tomorrow.  Maybe I can really get some good pictures and not miss her in action because my camera was a little slow.  Hopefully it wasnot the photographer who was slow.   I have even located the best setting for sports so now I am set.  Oh, except the batteries, I need rechargeable batteries.  I keep forgetting to pick some up at Walmart.  So I guess I am off to Walmart to buy rechargeable batteries.  Ugh.  I have already been there once today. 

I will try not to go so long in writing again.
