It’s been really nice to be HOME
for a change this week – I think we’re just about settled into our spring
semester schedule.
Sunday,
January 8th
Today we drove home from
Chicago. We meandered through Indiana (coming very close to Rita,
but I didn’t realize it at the time). I was so excited to see Cadbury eggs. I
had thought maybe they were left over from last Easter, but actually one of the
ones I ate was really fresh, so I guess they’re early. Heaven help me!
I liked how the sky looked.
Monday,
January 9th
Dr. M ordered the Thin Man
movies – we’ve watched two of them – only five more to go!
He took a picture of the
glorious moon that evening.
Tuesday,
January 10th
Dr. M took these really cool
shadow pics in the back yard.
This is what greeted me when I
got home that evening. He had taken down the outside Christmas decorations, but
this is as far as they got. I think that Ill Penguin doesn’t look as grouchy as
usual!
Wednesday,
January 11th
I took this picture on the way
home from work. I love a moody sky.
Thursday,
January 12th
The Tax
Time Pig is apparently ready to go to Disney World.
It started snowing in the afternoon – Dr. M took these
pictures.
Friday,
January 13th
Yep, our mild weather is
definitely gone for now – brr!
Dr. M took this on his way home
from school.
Junco!
Saturday,
January 14th
We got more snow overnight. The swimming pool is closed for
the season.
Fortunately the dining room remains open.
The Mr. is making sure that the Mrs. isn’t flirting with the
other birds.
This is the State of the Bug – excited that we’re getting
ready to eat Sonic, while also thinking that maybe we’re crazy to eat in our
car in 30 degree weather.
I got some new gloves! They look like mittens.
But look! I’ve been wanting something like this because I’m
always taking my gloves off in the car (to turn on my audio book, eat
my breakfast, etc.). When I saw Betsy’s post
about her new ones I decided I would go ahead & get some for myself. (On
clearance at Target for those who are interested).
Go to Sara’s blog here to see the blogs of
all the other Project 365 participants. Have a great week!
Most of our photos are taken with a 12
megapixel Nikon D5000 DSLR, using a 55-200mm zoom lens. This is the camera that
Dr. M takes with him most days. We also take pictures with our old reliable 7
megapixel Canon Powershot A710. This is the camera that the Bug uses most of the time.
If you’re interested in which camera was used for a particular shot, just ask!
Did you really see the Pig?
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to your weeks in review. I have never been to Sonics, but we have one here...and I LOVE hot dogs!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Sonic, but K doesn't, so it's a "lunch alone" destination for me. Her loss.
ReplyDeleteI'd sure like to have some of that snow here, just for a change of scenery. Stay warm. :)

Those gloves are ingenious! I like the bird-shadow pictures, too...
ReplyDeleteYou had me at The Thin Man!!!
ReplyDeleteLoved the gloves. Loved the Tax time pig. Loved the snow shots....but my favorites (besides the birds and moon) were the shadow shots. That gave me an idea of something to look for. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the "Tin Man" movies! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThe fingerless glove/mitten combo is ingenious. I buy a pair every year, but one of these days, I think I'll make my own. Knock wood, because I leave them on, I've yet to lose this year's pair.
ReplyDeleteGirl...you have got some beautiful nails!
loved the shadows :) I'll swap you some creme eggs for some snow.
ReplyDeleteLove the shadow picutres and those gloves.
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you I lived in KY for 6 yrs Florence? Use to head to Cincinnati a lot.
Loving the mitt-gloves! No snow here as yet.
ReplyDeleteLoving the mitt-gloves! No snow here as yet.
ReplyDeleteBrrrrrrr! We have the colder temps but so we usually don't get much snow down south!
ReplyDeleteAs always I love your bird shots. Love the feathered friend activity!
The pig makes me smile every time! Let's all go to Disney....
Blessings

Hey, I just added you to my "blogroll" of sorts over at the Dept. Sorry it took so long. Truly, I thought I had done it eons ago.
ReplyDeleteYou found a Cadberry already? That is crazy!!
ReplyDeleteI think your place must be one of the happiest places on earth for birds.
I love your hat in your Sonic pic. So very fun!!
Have a super week!!
So how long did it take to get home from Gas City, do you remember?
ReplyDeleteThe Sonic in Marion closed after a year :(
My favorite the penguin banner in the snow scene.
Hope to meet you in person sometime, but funny how much we know about one another already :)
Sonic ... love!
ReplyDeleteThat sky was BEAUTIFUL! And yes, winter has arrived here too.
wow - you've had a proper frost there, haven't you? Tax Time pig looks good :)
ReplyDeleteStill never ate at Sonic... sad, I know.
ReplyDeleteBut Cadbury eggs? I've already eaten a minimum of 20 this year... that's much sadder!
I love minnie the pig!!! The shadow picture was great!! Okay, what do you use to get such great moon pics? I just can't get mine to turn out that good.
