Project 365 - Week Five





Sunday, January 24th

Dr. M & I took a road trip to a foreign Walmart (well, it's the one that's 22 miles away instead of the one that's 1 mile away). Along the way we took a picture of my favorite sheep. None of them were standing on hay bales, but they're still pretty cute I think. And a little muddy from all the rain last weekend.


Monday, January 25th

On Monday Dr. M took a few photos around his campus. There's a railroad track along the edge of campus which feeds Dr. M's train obsession.



Tuesday, January 26th

I have two pictures from Tuesday. The first one was taken while I was driving to work. I'm pretty sure I wasn't driving more than 60 mph at the time. Really, the only dangerous part was trying to figure out how to turn off the flash while I was driving (shut up K – I'm a good driver!).


The second picture is our dinner Tuesday night. Dr. M just throws a bunch of stuff in a pot, makes some rice, and voila! Dinner!

Wednesday, January 27th

We have two pictures from Wednesday too. I broke my work badge and told them I wanted a new picture for my new badge. My coworker A & I were trying to figure out how to get a good picture & she told me to not smile. I really tried, but I started laughing - & this picture was the result. We ultimately decided that the turtleneck was doing me no favors (I looked like a scoop of ice cream on top of a cone) & I tried again the next day wearing something different.

At about the same time I was trying to be photogenic, Dr. M was getting his hair cut. He decided to record his curls for posterity. Note: NOT a good idea to get your hair cut in January. Just sayin.

Thursday, January 28th

Dr. M took a picture of the beautiful moon in the sky on Thursday.


Friday, January 29th

On Friday, Dr. M took another trip through the park we visited last week. This time there was a bit more snow on the ground.


Saturday, January 30th

Last year we added a sheep to our collection. I christened him "Cornflake" because I decided that his "wool" looked like cornflakes in a bowl of milk. This year we got a penguin from the same artist (Sara Meadows!). I wanted to put the penguin near Cornflake & the best place seemed to be on top of our computer router. But I kept calling it a modem, so I named her "Modem."



Go here tomorrow to see the blogs of all the other Project 365 participants.

  1. The moon is very photogenic in your picture. So is the dinner plate with the food on it.
    Rice goes well with everything, it just takes long to cook if you want it to be delicious.

    Nice photos of you and your hubby. I like them both.

  2. I love the picture of your new "badge". Cracked me up. Your outdoors pictures are always so great. I can just feel the space if you know what I mean...probably not.

  3. That moon was so bright. Wednesday night in the city even though it was not quite full, it was like daylight out there. Of course, the SEVEN streetlights on our block helped out.

    Dr. M looks as if the haircut is painful.

  6. These were a nice varied lot of photos this week. Dr M did look like he was in pain. We had a hugely bright moon here this week. Is it me or is moonlight getting brighter all the time?

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 ...
