Opposites Attract

They say that opposites attract. In the case of Billy and I, truer words were never spoken. Just to name a couple of things that we differ in...Billy is a worry wort and I am laid back. He is a night owl and I am an early riser.

When we got married, we spent our honeymoon in Lake Arrowhead. The cabin we stayed in was all alone in the middle of the woods and set on a hill with the front door and living room upstairs and the bedroom downstairs. This made Billy quite nervous and, since he was now my sole protector, we dragged the mattress upstairs to the living room (which was no easy feat) and parked it in front of the fireplace along with a baseball bat he found in the closet to beat off any possible intruders.

Then, shortly after nightfall, I conked out and he stayed up for hours. Then before dawn, I was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and he was out cold. What a pair!!!

So, today, I celebrate opposites. Keeping in the vein of our mountain honeymoon, I'll start with the woodsy ones.

NEW

USED

PLAIN

FANCY
It's people time.

YOUNG

OLD
This one is about perspective.

NEAR

FAR
Today Zach was hanging with me because he's on Spring Break. This afternoon I had an idea for a picture and told him to stop what he was doing and come with me for a second. He had no idea what the subject of my blog was, but as he was unexcitedly tearing himself away from his video game he said, "Right now I love you and hate you at the very same time." How appropriately opposite of him.

Meet my friend's adorable turtle Jojo:

IN
OUT
So while I was there I got this one.

SWEET AND SOUR
(Zach was just faking it for photographic purposes)

Here is another picture that handles both opposites in one picture

UP AND DOWN
(you figure it out)
How about a trip to Disneyland?

DAY

NIGHT
Okay, trip over. Let's end the evening with a couple of matchy-matchy bowlers.

Obviously, these last two were not taken by me.

FRONT

BACK
The End.

Yesterday

I'm sorry, I'm late. This blog should have been done yesterday, but I'm on vacation and in a whole different time zone. Not physically, but mentally. Yesterday I spent the entire day doing something I had originally planned to do in September but never got around to...I put in a garden. Now, it's very possible that everything I planted may amount to nothing because I've never done a fall garden, let alone, a winter garden. I also planted some things I've never planted before. It doesn't matter though. I enjoyed doing it and I feel I accomplished something. Better late than never. So, in the immortal words of Kelly Bundy, "Case of rum, case of rum!"

Speaking about not being on time, I thought I would showcase some pix that were all taken very recently, yet seem like they belong to times gone by. Every now and then I come across a scene that seems to be stuck in a time warp. They evoke thoughts of yesteryear. Of course, I help it along with a little Lightroom and Photoshop magic. 

So, slow down and join me, if you will, on a stroll down memory lane. To a simpler time when gas was cheap, all the electronic gadgets had rabbit ears and remote meant somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

Check out my wheels...

Wagon Wheel

A Bumpy Ride

This wheel has seen better days
Out beyond the city limits.

Green Acres

That's your tractor story?
Farming includes vineyards, right?

Precious Cargo

Looks like a dusty road out in Fresno circa 1947
If only the gas prices were what they were when these cars were "in".

Gangsta

Grandpa's SUV

A simpler time

1950's neighborhood

Old Truck
Old time building

Clock Tower
Some beautiful spaces.

The Potting Bench
Birdhouse
Relax and set a spell
That reminds me, it's time to get back to MY reality....out to the garden I go!
