OCTOBER PHOTO CHALLENGE #11 -- SOMETHING CLOSE UP

Today has been a chilly, rainy Saturday.  Gray and dull.  I slept in some and then met up with my friend Debbie to go food shopping.  Somehow it seems to go much faster when we do it together.  I was going to go to the farm, but it's not nice to go there when it's this kind of weather.

I still have so much to do around the house and here it is 6:00 p.m. already.  That is what happens when you sleep in.  But I think I need my sleep more than I need to clean right now.

We had roasted chicken and baked potatoes for dinner.  It was so good.  I finally got my appetite back.  I also regained all the weight I lost when I was sick.  *sigh*

The topic for today's photo challenge is "Something Close Up".  My only problem with this was choosing which photo to use.  I like taking close up pictures of flowers and of my cat.  So after looking through things I decided on this picture I took at the New Jersey State Fair in August.  It is of a hibiscus in the landscaping part of the fair.  I think it's so pretty.



Hope you enjoy your evening.  It's getting cold in here so I think I will go light the fire.

Linking up with Kaitlin at Homemaker Design for this October photo challenge.

    helps to have an extra pair of hands. Ha ha! As I write this Sunday morning,the temp is 47 degrees! Not that I consider that as 'cold'. It just feels more because it's been in the 60's - 70's.I liketaking brisk walks!
