Midweek Blues---- Crafty Wall

Welcome to Mid-week Blues. This week I want to share a blue quilt that I spotted in the entrance of a elementary school I visited recently.

Mid-Week Blues---- Big and Small

Welcome to Mid-week Blues. This week I would like to share blue houses. Actually, blue is not an unusual color for a house but I thought that these two were a tad different.

I live in a small riverfront town named after the first president of the United States. Just across the river is another small town named after a woman who happened to have the same name as the wife of the President my town is named for. I found that rather interesting so the other day we went to explore the town of Marthasville. Today I would like to share two photo's that I took during that trip.
This is the big in my title. An old house in the middle of being turned from white to blue.




Now for the small. This little blue house sits beside a much larger house just a few blocks from my home. It must have been built to be used as either a guest house or perhaps a play house. I'm not sure which. But, I love the fact that it is trimmed in blue.

Mid week Blues-- through the car window

Mid-week blues is a new meme hosted by Rebecca at Dusty Cellar. Lets all join in and help her in her effort to give blogdom a cool dose of blue.

This week I have an odd assortment of shots captured in passing from my car window. But, do not worry, I was not the driver. I had not found a way to use these before and noticed while hunting for other shots that they all contained a hint of blue.

I captured this first shot while driving around near Table Rock Lake while visiting my brother last month. I was going for the clothes drying on the canoe but, the blue trailer in the background was a bonus, just perfect for today.


While passing a small pond on a county road near my home, my timing was off, instead of the relaxing view of the pond, I ended up with this shot which just happens to be blue barrels supporting the dock.


On the same road as the above shot I noticed this lady weeding her flower bed. I snapped the shot because of the hair curlers. Surprised that anyone stilled use them, I wanted to show my grandchildren what us ladies use to go through. The bonus is she was wearing blue.

Mid-Week Blues--A walk in the Park

While downloading some photos from my camera, after our walk around the lake, I noticed I had some mid-week shots with some blue. Perfect for posting on Mid-Week Blue, the meme hosted by Rebecca at the Dusty Celler

Here we have a shot of the Old Salt setting the pace out in front of me. But, my camera calls and I fall behind.


Even the families enjoying the fishing were all decked out in blue
