Today’s challenge-du-jour? Got ready to fix dinner, opened the pantry, and…
Ants.
Lots and lots and LOTS of ants. I’d seen them in the hall floor, but my eyes are so bad I thought something had spilled. Since I planned to mop after dinner I stepped over them and didn’t give it a second thought. (You can see why I have an appointment this week for new glasses.) However, there was no missing them once I opened the pantry door. It was hard to find more than two square inches where there were no ants.
So hubby cleared out the pantry and dumped every opened package. I had a new package of graham crackers and think that was their main target. We tossed the opened part and kept the two still-sealed packages. I think we lost a couple of boxes of cereal and some corn chips. But since all the contents of the pantry are now covering countertop and sink while the bug spray dries overnight, dinner ended up being an emergency run for sub sammies. I told hubby I’d make it up to him. I promised him meat loaf tomorrow, barring catastrophe. (Meat loaf is a treat in our house. I only make it 2-3 times a year.)
Today’s theme in my photo run, as it worked out, was vehicles. I ran across some gorgeous ones, and didn’t even get ’em all. They’re not the only things I snapped, but there are a lot of wheels in today’s photo album.
Otherwise, tweaked the book cover slightly – fixed the spot in the fedora where it looked more like someone accidentally erased a slice than that it was how it came. I didn’t expand it by much, but did give it a subtle bump:
Like I said – not a humongous change, but the angle of the original hit just right to make it look like it was cut off by the rock panel behind. I did the update on my template. Can’t finish the cover until the book’s ready to fly anyway, because I don’t yet know the final number of pages to calculate the spine width. As always, click on the picture to open up a larger version.
My photos aren’t pro level but I’ve switched out so now I only shoot in RAW format. Since I take them through Photoshop before posting anyway, to check levels and other details, it made sense. My camera’s default auto mode is overexposure, lol.
Great pics of some classic wheels! Your goat is a Boer, and meat breed which is pretty obvious by the bulkiness of that fellow/gal. Looks female but the angle is tough. Another breed that originated in Africa but this one is from south Africa while my Nubians are from northern Africa
Thank you! I couldn’t tell – was too busy holding my breath and trying to take a picture. But I think you’re right – think the goat is a nanny. I took her to be a billy based on horns.
