Photo-a-Day Week 18

Welcome to Week 18 of our Photo a Day challenge.  I think the photos have been varied and I look forward to sharing a little more detail about each photo. 

Day 118- 

I am not sure how many of you are habitual about when laundry is done. I am habitual. Is it because of the nursery rhyme from my childhood? "This is the way we wash our clothes, wash our clothes, wash our clothes, this is the way we wash our clothes on a Monday morning..."  Other chores fall to be done whenever. Laundry seems to be cemented in my routine to be done on Monday.

Monday

Day 119-

Monday is also my night to play bridge with the ladies in my neighborhood. We aren't cutthroat about our games, it is mostly for fun. When I moved here there was a woman who liked to play bridge but only a couple others knew how to play. She made up instruction sheets and taught about a dozen of us how to play. After she moved, we "seasoned" players taught other newbies. Our bridge gathering has grown over the years, some nights we have four tables (with four players at each table). There are still times when we get a hand that we aren't sure how to bid. With so many other players, there is always someone at another table you can go to and ask for help. We call that "Phone a Friend". Like I said, it is fun.

Day 120-

We drove to Greenville this past week for a doctor's appointment. The route we take is mostly rural roads. I have looked at this house, or log cabin, always wanting a photo. This week, I was in luck; we were on the lookout for it on our way home, and I was able to take a photo.

Day 121-

Another weekly habit is going to the carwash to get the truck washed and vacuumed. The colors and the suds make for interesting images.

Day 122-

While out on the deck, I noticed this tiny Assassin bug on the glass of the sliding door. He was so small it was difficult to get the cell camera to focus on it.

Day 123- 

I have various Peonies in my yard, some blooming earlier than others. I love their fragrance and the blossoms full of petals. It was quite fortuitous that I got this picture when I did. The next day, we had a hailstorm that knocked many of these beauties over.

Day 124-

This is the above-mentioned hailstorm coming to us. There was a lot of thunder and lightening and the wind was quite gusty. I should have gone in sooner, but I was pruning some shrubs and needed to clean up the branches before I went in. Since I was outside I wasn't aware that this storm was carrying the potential of hail. 

As The Storm Comes In

This is my deck! We had hail falling for five minutes! Thankfully damage was minimal.

So this ends our weekly roundup on photos, with a couple extras tossed into the mix.
