Have you ever spent the whole day thinking it was the next day or the day before? This morning I went down to close the gate after Steve left for work and was annoyed to find that the garbage collectors missed our can. I figured we'd need to call them to come and pick up our trash.

I carried on with my day, working until lunch and looking forward to my Bokeh Thursday pictures! The theme is "Medicine", so after lunch, I had a great time taking pictures of various pills and tablets that we have. Bokelicious meds galore!! :D

After I'd gotten back to work for a couple of hours, I looked at my iPad and when I turned it on, it flashed the date and time...WEDNESDAY! NOT Thursday! WOO HOO, I GAINED A WHOLE DAY!! :D :D I had a very good laugh at myself and then realized...oh brother. I need to take my Picture of the Day...AGAIN! :D Well, I thought I'd wait until after dinner since I was buried in work and couldn't afford to take another break.

Steve came home and as we prepared to put our dinner on the table, I looked out the kitchen window and did a double-take... HOLY COW, LOOK AT THAT SKY!!! Dinner could wait! Steve grabbed his iPhone and I grabbed my camera, switching over to our 17-40 wide angle lens, since there was no way I'd be able to get all of those clouds with my 100mm lens. Steve came up with the idea of taking a picture of our beloved meadow Oak tree with the clouds radiating out from behind, but I also have another image showing the sky by itself so you can appreciate it unobstructed. :)

Victor Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. He is considered one of the greatest and best known French writers. In France, Hugo's literary fame comes first from his poetry but also rests upon his novels and his dramatic achievements. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem. Outside France, his best-known works are the novels Les Misérables, 1862, and Notre-Dame de Paris, 1831 (known in English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). Wikipedia: Victor Hugo
