strange things.....

i don't know why - but this picture is very blog-worthy:

yep.
it's a love carrot.
or a weird metamorphized (i made that word up) piece of nature. but i think i'll go with the love carrot. kind of made me and the hubbers laugh at how funny looking it was.
poor carrot. didn't even make it into the pasta salad we were making.

and yes.....i'm now older.
thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes - you all made me feel loved and appreciated. :)
