Here we go Again

Hello again. Welcome back to my blog to the 12 of you who will actually be reading this post. And hello to any newcomers who may be passing by. Please, have a seat and stay for a bit. 

It's been a long while since a new post has been uploaded. Long story short, I have been very lazy with my time. Please forgive me.

Anyway, I figured I would change things up a little, being that I've been absent for almost a year. Yes, it has been that long. 

I've actually been debating whether or not to shut down my blog. I figured that if I was only going to post twice a year, then why even bother? I decided to give it one more go. I figured that if 12 whole people (not half, whole) willingly gave up part of their day to read this so-called "blog" of my innermost feelings and thoughts, then why not make it worth their time?  

So, here we go again.

Would you like an adventure now,

or shall we have our

tea first?

Lately...

Lately, I've been taking a couple photography classes.

One of them I took at a school with a friend,

and the other was taken as a class in my homeschool Co-op.

I thought that I would share some of my recent projects.

A special thanks to my beautiful models from the Heart of the Hartman blog.

(All pictures were taken with a Canon Rebel T3)

Nature Trail

My family started school today.

Summer went by way too fast.

I miss it.

Anyway, we decided to go on a nature walk.

And of course,

I bought my camera.

Here are some photos that I took.

Flower pictures

Yes, I know that summer is at it's end.

I know that the pools are closing, and the textbooks are opening.

I know that the warm weather is leaving, and the chilly weather is on it's way.

So I decided to take and post a few flower pictures to keep your spirits up as the school year begins.

I hope that these pictures enlighten your day.

Baseball Pictures

Here are some pictures that I took

 At my brother's baseball game last night.

Hope you enjoy them!

Let me know if you want to see more pictures.

Spelunking

This is completely random.

But in my Co-op, we have a very small high school class.

Like, four people small.

I know.

Anyway, we sometimes get sidetracked, 

and off topic.

This is where our conversation led to:

Teacher: Are you guys watching the Olympics?

Me: Yeah, I love watching the ice skating.

Teacher: Do you guys watch the luge?

Classmate: What's the luge?

Teacher: It's like the bobsled, only smaller.

Me: That sounds fun. Maybe I should try it!

(later)

Spelunking comes up.

Me: Oh, I could go spelunking in a luge someday!

Brother: You'll probably die.

Me: I know, but I still think that it would be fun.

(later)

Chocolate covered chicken came up.

Me: Oh, I could go spelunking in a luge someday, while eating a chocolate covered chicken!

Classmate: What about stalactites and stalagmites?

Me: I would have two machetes in my hands.

Everyone: Wow.

That's just how weird I am.

Spelunking: To explore caves, especially as a hobby.

Luge: A one or two-person sled for coasting and racing down a chute, used especially in Europe.

Basketball

Today, I'm going to post about

Basketball.

Our season ended about a week and a half ago.

I played, two of my brothers played, and my dad coached.

We had a really fun season.

We had a couple of laughs,

a little bit of silliness 

and a lot of sweating.

But over all,

we had a great time.

I feel so blessed to have a great team and a great coach!
