How many pots are you?

Me?  I'm a one pot person.

No real recipe here, but I know a couple of you will ask.

Brown kielbasa or ground round or both, with onion.

Add a can of tomatoes.

Add a can of tomato sauce.

Add raw cabbage.

Add whatever seasoning you want.

When cabbage is near done,

add a can of red beans.

Cook a little while longer.

Serve over creamed potatoes or rice or noodles.

Ok, that makes it more than one pot, doesn't it.

Yes, it's like stuffed cabbage, but without the trouble of stuffing.

Revealed

My knock-off Riedel wine glasses show their flaws.

I'm sure the real thing at $30/glass wouldn't have those rings revealed by the camera lens.

Gage or Gauge

Or, is this more of a dial?  You got me.  Think I'll just call it the seeder hopper doo-hickey.

Science

This year's back yard science experiment is an extended one.

It is time for a new pool liner, so the cement pond (vinyl pond just doesn't sound right) has been stewing for a few weeks without chemicals while waiting on the new liner to be installed.

It's a pretty color, if  you don't look very closely.

And the frogs like it.

I have birds

We moved these feeders closer to the kitchen window.  Free food sure does bring the visitors. 

These are no comparison to some of your bird shots, but I am proud of them.

Frilly

Neither frilly or pink is me, but I like my Clematis.

I would swear that these flowers were pale blue last year.

Have I mentioned how pleased I am with my iPhone5 camera?

Ideally, this would be a wider shot in order to make the best of the landscape.

Singing River Sculpture

Singing River Sculpture, Sheffield, Alabama

This is the first of four sculptures planned to be erected in each of the Quad Cities (Florence, Sheffield, Tuscumbia, and Muscle Shoals) of north west Alabama, otherwise known as The Shoals.  The sculptures commemorate the music heritage of the Shoals area.

The 18 foot tall aluminum sculpture was created by artist Audwin McGee, and does not depict any specific person or musical artist.

I learned that there is some controversy over the sculpture, specifically, the name "Singing River".  According to an article in the Times Daily newspaper, Singing River was the term used by Native Americans to describe the Tennessee River, due to the sound that was created when a breeze swept across the river's shoals.  From what I read, a lot of people feel the sculpture series being named Singer River is disrespectful to the Native Americans.

It stopped . . .

 . . . in the middle of the road.
