A Round Well Played

It was another weird day yesterday. Meaning there seemed to be no wetness touching my skin when I ventured outdoors!  It was a little disconcerting.

Thus with no rain OR lightning we golfed and my hot streak continued.  I play league at Door Creek and I used to HATE that place. For some reason I was just never comfortable but this year I have renewed confidence (meaning I can get off the tee) and am having a great year.  Although . . . I did have one bad shot off the tee.  It was the #5 short Par 3 over water.   It was only 120 yards and I bombed my tee shot 20 yards.

Well - THAT first 20 yards is out of the way.  My second shot of 100 yards landed 10 feet from the hole and I drained the putt for a par. That was how my night went when things went bad.

The very next hole (I did not realize this until now) my tee shot boomed 230 yards and left and I was under a tree.  I punched out disgustedly and then hit a WONDERFUL 7 wood onto the green and 2 putted.

The golf gods are smiling at me AT THE MOMENT!!  OH - when I get this feeling it's never good as the golf gods tend to knock you down pretty fast.

Anyway - I'll take low net for the 2nd week in a row in league.

I was going to apply for an Art Fair in Lake Mills in August. I ask the contact person if there were any openings and she said maybe - HOWEVER - she looked at my web site and warned me that the Jury was really anti digital manipulation as they considered it cheating and not really art and that several artists had been rejected because of this.


WELL - if it is one thing I can totally be accused of is digital manipulating.  In fact I think 100% of what I do is digital manipulation.   Don't get me started on this archaic thinking but this is not the first time this problem has come up as there a number of fairs that are anti-digital.

Anyway - I was in the clubhouse last night and spotted an image so I ran to my car to get my DIGITAL camera and snapped a few shots.  Then I cheated and manipulated them.  STICK IT, LAKE MILLS!

And BTW - I'm just seeing what works and what doesn't here.  There seems to be two factions when it comes to my window box photos.  Some who like it and some who don't get it. That's fine! No worries.

I can't see what this really looks like as I'm still on my 6 inch 1970 green screen monitor and have not gotten my NEW duel 19 inch flat screen monitors!

So the gardens are coming along but I had this flower in the middle that at first I though was a weed but then it had such pretty flowers . . . . did I plant this??  What is it? 

Then last night as I was looking into the weeds next to the golf course I spotted my flower.  hmmmmmm it would be weird if I had planted a flower that I can find in the weeds next to a golf course.

It's called Solanum dulcamara or bittersweet. It's not a good thing. While pretty now but it will climb over everything up top 4 feet high. Then it will have berries that are VERY POISONOUS. Human death's while rare have occurred. I have to wonder how many berry's those dead guys ate.

This reminded me of what happened yesterday. I was looking up kinds of Salvia as they had 4 for $1 at the Farmers market. So I googeled and one guy on a forum as "Can I smoke Salvia, I just purchased a bunch of seeds).

Dude you can smoke anything you want.
