  Weekly Photo Challenge

  the subject from Southernlass is: 

    “What a Mess!”
  Around the house messes

  My house has its share of messes and in fact, may have more than its share but I’ve seen some of those internet shows out of the UK and can tell you my house has never looked like some of those.  That said, my house has gone downhill in the messy department for various reasons.  I have reached a point, for various reasons, whereby I use a simplified perspective to survive any and all messes.  I call it the Rose Colored Glasses perspective/concept.  It’s the best one I know of, it doesn’t cost the advice of anyone, doesn’t involve medicines of any kind and it works.

  Definition of Rose Colored Glasses:  Seeing something as more pleasant or beautiful than it really is.

  My What a Mess Photos
  with Rose Colored Counterparts

  

  I own a lot of movies and they are always in a mess.  This stack is being organized to go back where they belong.

   

  

  This Rose Colored Counterpart reminds me of the movie Dick Tracy because of its fun colors.

   

  

  Hurricane Ike traveled upwards into Ohio and left a lof of debris and upset.  We had minor damage, and a lot of mess.  We feel very lucky we had only a day and a half without electricity.  As of Sept. 19, five days after the storm, 96,000 homes are still without electricity in the Cincinnati area.

   

  

  Even the messiest mess can turn out interesting when you are wearing your Rose Colored Glasses.

   

  

  We have so many leaves and branches down it lookes like Autumn.  The day was very hot, no rain but the high winds lasted for hours and gusts were from 50 to 80 miles per hour.  It was an experience I haven’t witnessed before.

   

  

  Divide your messes into smaller portions with Rose Colored Glasses and they are easier to manage and they make interesting graphics.

   

  

  We have had a few storms this year that took out most of our larger branches from our trees around the house.  I look at it as a blessing now even though they landed on the roof at the time.  If they hadn’t come out earlier in the year, they would all have fallen during our Ohio Hurricane and probably with a lot more force than they did.  A hurricane here is a pretty strange thought as we are 1189 miles from Galveston, Texas where the Hurricane came in.  There were deaths in our area, a lot of damage, electric knocked out.  I can’t even imagine what it must be like for those people on the Texas coast.  Cuba, had two killer hurricanes in a single week.  There are a lot of people in this world of ours needing prayer and a lot of monitory help.  Be sure to visit your online Red Cross to make helpful donations.

   

  

  I have a lot of photos taken during the storm.  It’s too bad I don’t have a video camera.  If I did, it would be one video I would load up but my stills will have to do.

  Have a great week and thanks always for your comments.
  

  Keep on taking those photos.
