Blue Monday - Blue Fun Weekend


It's time for Blue Monday hosted by Smiling Sally @ http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/. You might wanna stop by there and check out more blues. Our busy was pretty busy and yet fun-tastic. Saturday, the weather was fine and we went to Franklin to buy bike for big J and carriage for little Js. We also bought car rack for the bikes because we brought home my bike that my Mary (MIL) gave to me. Thanks for the bike Mary and for helping us with the carriage. We got lucky because she paid for the carriage and that helped us with our budget ahhh LOT!
Here is the lil lambchop wearing her blue with yellowdandlion flowers in her ears.
That the place where we bought the bike. It is a privately owned business and the owner is really nice. He knows a lot about bike and aside from that since the shop is right by the bike trail, buyers can try their bike if they like before deciding on buying it.
Then Sunday, we went for a bike ride.There is a bike trail close by where we live. It starts in greenfield and ends in downtown Pittsburgh.
This is the monongahela river on the Allegheny Plateau. At Pittsburgh, it meets the Allegheny River to form the Ohio River.
Happy Blue Monday everyone! Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Looking at the Sky on Friday




I took this pictures when were on the road from Wal-Mart last weekend. I tried to capture one of the bridge of monongahela river, the color of the trees which are all very sad to see because they are all dry and dead and the different ble shades of the sky on that day.

Information from Wikipedia,
The Monongahela River (pronounced /məˌnɒŋɡəˈheɪlə/, also known locally as the Mon /ˈmɒn/) is a river on the Allegheny Plateau in North-Central West Virginia and southwestern Pennsylvania in the United States. At Pittsburgh, it meets the Allegheny River to form the Ohio River. The word "Monongalia" is a Latinized version of the Native American word "Monongahela," which means "falling banks," in reference to the geological instability of the river's banks. Moravian missionary David Zeisberger gave this account of the naming: In the Indian tongue the name of this river was Mechmenawungihilla, which signifies a high bank, which is ever washed out and therefore collapses.
