Project 365 – Week Forty-One




  
Sunday, October 3rd
Dr. M had an event at his university on Sunday afternoon. The actual event was a play about the underground railroad, but there was also a preview of a Lewis & Clark exhibit Dr. M is in the process of creating. These are prints from William Clark's journal – I think they're pretty cool.


Dr. M doing his spiel for guests at the event.

When we got home I took a picture of this jewelry "word" I created. I wanted to remind myself to do something in the morning but was too lazy to find a post-it note. I thought this was pretty clever – can you tell what it says?

Monday, October 4th
On Monday Dr. M took one of his deer pictures – I liked the pose this one took.


It's homecoming week at his school – and of course this banner caught his eye LOL.


Tuesday, October 5th
On Tuesday I took these pictures of the sky on my way home. The first one is the direction I was driving. The second one is over my shoulder. I thought it was interesting to have such different looking skies right there together.



Dr. M took a picture of our grape tomato plant – still doing its thing.


Wednesday, October 6th
On Wednesday Dr. M took a picture of a surprise bird (it's a surprise because he'd been taking picture of crows & a hawk, but then along came this beauty).


And here is what he drove behind on the way home.


Thursday, October 7th
On Thursday I took a picture of a little stand I pass every day. I couldn't stop so I just generally aimed & shot as I drove by - & you can tell! No, the land doesn't slope like that in real life.
  

Dr. M read my mind again (scary!) & took this picture of the purple & yellow flowers that are popping up on the sides of the roads here. So pretty!


And here is a look at our town in fall.


Friday, October 8th
Dr. M saw this pumpkin patch on his way home on Friday.


And I took a picture near my office. I like that there is a green tree, an orange tree, and an evergreen tree right there together.


Saturday, October 9th
Today was the homecoming game & festivities at Dr. M's school. We had to be there bright & early (9:30 – that's early for me on a Saturday – since it's an hour away) because each school organization was supposed to have a table at a "carnival." Unfortunately, most of the history club members are in the band, so that left Dr. M (& me!) to operate their game. We had bocce ball – those who got closest to the yellow ball got some candy.



Here's Dr. M showing off his form.


This guy was so funny! His game was to have people throw tennis balls at bottles on his table. I threw the ball under the table. He had pity on me & gave me a piece of candy anyway.


One last shot – the cheerleaders changed into these fun outfits for the halftime show. I want some socks like that!


P.S. It was SO HOT today! I got sunburned because I wasn't prepared, which is silly because you can get burned even if the temperature is cooler, so I should have used sunscreen regardless. But, on the plus side we actually won the football game!

  1. I spent way too much time staring at that jewelry word-- WELSH? Seriously, how is making a word out of jewelry easier than finding a post-it?!

  3. I think the word is weigh -- reminding you to weigh in?

    I love your photos and your brief descriptions. It's like I was with you for all the high points...

  5. I'd like to see those pages from William clark's journal close up.

    And no, I can't tell what the word is and not for lack of trying.

  6. Great pics - but, I have tried once or twice to take a pic while in the vehicle and none of mine turned out as well as all of yours! Be careful! :)
    Oh yeah, and love the socks!

  8. hmmmmm...the jewelry word is HARD. Can't figure out the 2 in the middle. I am with WouthLakesMom, I think it is weigh.

    love the sky pic. Reminds me of AZ..you always got different sky pictures there during a storm.

  9. I have crazy socks like that, try Target :)

    Love the sky pictures. I used to see a lot of those in Oregon.

    I couldn't figure out the word, sorry. But I see the best guess is probably weigh.

  10. Pretty clever indeed the jewelery word you've created. I think the commenter suggesting 'weigh' may be right. The tomato plant, by the way, looks also like a piece of jewelery.
    I can't have the girls' fresh beauty , so I would settle for a pair of their colorful socks.

    I have no clue what your jewelry word spells out...

  13. Great nature shots as always!
    I can get the W, E and H too. All I can say is you are creative!!
    Dr. M is very versatile; lectures/presentations, photographer, water-er and bocce? My goodness!!
    Have a super week!!

  14. Yes, it does say "weigh" - and Bekah is right - I think I could have found a post-it faster. But it was entertaining :)

  15. Love the last picture. So fun those socks. I think the word was wash. Did you need to do wash? LOL
    Although the a looks like an e. Hmmm I don't know.
    Gorgeous sky pics too.

    TU's colors, actually, and this past weekend was their homecoming. I'm not an alum, but I taught there for years, and it's right next door.

  19. I want socks like that too!

    Wash? Walk? Is that an a or e in 2nd place? No clue about the third letter. I am jewelry-writing impaired I guess.

    Lovely town you live in...maybe especially in the fall? I think the colors of fall make everything prettier.

Thanks for stopping by - I'd love to hear what you have to say!

2024 Project 365 – Week Twelve

I woke up not feeling well and skipped church (for the second week in a row - oops), but that doesn’t keep me from being deep in the throes ...
