July and August Camera Upload

I didn't have too many pictures worth posting up the past two months but I've got a few. I've started to realize that I need to start taking more pictures with people actually in them ;)

A collage of some shots of all of the birds in both of their cages. For Christmas I'm going to ask Ramin to buy me a larger cage so that they can all live in there together. Right now they just have to talk to each other through the cages.

This is Belle watching a video of a dog on Ramin's computer. I have a video of her barking at this dog and eventually jumping up on to the desk!

I LOVE my summer evening walks with Dingo. These are some pretty roses at the local neighborhood church house.

On night coming home from the walk I saw this view of the sky. This was the Tooele fire burning over the mountains. It made the sky look interesting for a while that's for sure!

Once Dad moved out I decided to redecorate the bathroom downstairs. I found a great shower curtain and matching towels, but I had THE toughest time finding the perfect wall art to hang up. So, I made my own! It's all handpainted on canvas done by me :)

I've never own orchids before and the local supermarket I shop at always had these gorgeous blue/purple ones I've been dying to buy - but they were $30 each and I thought they were just too expensive! One day I went shopping and saw they'd marked some of them down to $15! So I took the opportunity and bought one plant. I also bought a $6 regular orchid plant as well. The blooms have all expired now so I'm hoping they'll bloom for me again soon!

In August I hit my official 10-year anniversary with eBay. I took a picture of my name up on the TV screens posted around the building. I've got an anniversary dinner coming up that I get to go to in October.

Cool looking red sun due to the fire smoke in the sky.

The sunflowers have started popping up everywhere outside!

I've been working pretty consistently on my scrapbook from all of our National Park trips. This scrapbook contains our honeymoon pictures, Mesa Verde, Arches, Canyonlands and Zions so far. I still have Death Valley and our Pacific Northwest trip to add...I hope it will all fit!

The summer pots in our backyard. I planted some spider plant baby starters earlier in the summer and they've done nicely outside surprisingly. The rest of the pots are filled with ground cover we tore up in our yard. They look really nice!
