The bees knees

I have missed taking pictures and writing my blog. It's cumbersome typing, but I'm getting the hang of it. For those who don't know, I cut my hand Saturday morning while washing a glass. I'll keep this short because I don't want to overdo it, after a long day at work.

Today, after I got home, I picked up the camera and held it in my hand. I thought to myself that I can do this. I put the camera strap over my head and carried it around a bit. I turned it on and it felt ok in my hand. George saw me doing all this and barked, "Let's head outside!"

So out we went for a leisurely stroll around the perimeter of our property here and I took pictures until my hand began to feel sore.

Thanks to all of you for your show of support for me and this blog. I am often astounded at how encouraging you can all be and I want you to know how much you mean to me.

I'm still posting daily on the Picture A Day Blog, so try to stop by. And click on these pictures to view larger.

As an aside, does anyone remember the saying "the bees knees"? It means "the highest quality". My mother said it now and again when I was a child and I found out it was coined around the 1920's. According to Wikipedia, one of my favorite sources for information, in the 1920's it was fashionable to devise nonsense terms for excellence - 'the snake's hips', 'the kipper's knickers", 'the cat's pyjamas', 'the sardine's whiskers' etc. Of these, the bee's knees and the cat's pyjamas are the only ones that have stood the test of time.

It's how I feel about you. You are excellent.

Just so you know, ok?

Until tomorrow, my friends.
