2014 Project 365 – Week Seventeen

With all the lovely weather we’ve been having I’m counting down until vacation… and I need to start adding walking to the biking I’m doing every day.

Sunday, April 20^th       

Happy Easter! Our church was lovely this morning.

Dr. M saw the Easter Bunny in a neighbor’s yard. Heh.

The Daily Bike.

Monday, April 21^st

Part of my lunch for the day.

Red-winged blackbirds!

Some sort of plane that Dr. M saw.

The Daily Bike (which was a really really short one since my dress kept flying up – oops!).

Tuesday, April 22^nd            

Dr. M took pictures of some gorgeous flowers today! Here are just a few.

The Daily Bike.

Wednesday, April 23^rd

Here is a tale of big hair. I had the bright idea to sleep in curlers, but the result was a little bit out of control at first. But as usual, it had calmed down considerably by the time I left for work (& in fact no one at work commented on my hair so I think it just mostly looked normal – ha!).

Tree swallow – Dr. M was pretty excited when he saw it!

It was Administrative Professionals Day. I gave away most of my goodies, but I still had plenty to munch on for a few days.

The puzzle is coming along. And I haven’t really been cursing it like I thought I would!

Dr. M’s university always celebrates Shakespeare’s birthday. One of the students dressed as a fool & Dr. M wore his Renaissance costume for the occasion.

The Daily Bike.

Friday, April 25^th

The Daily Bike.

Dr. M & I participated in his school’s Relay for Life event. Last year was SO cold & miserable, but this year was really nice.

Saturday, April 26^th  

The Daily Bike.

Dr. M stalked the backyard critters. They was lots of courting going on – ‘tis the season.

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. He also takes pictures with our old reliable 7 megapixel Canon Powershot A710.  The Bug uses our new Nikon Coolpix S6200 most of the time. If you’re interested in which camera was used for a particular shot, just ask!

Wordless Wednesday - the Cement Pond Edition

2014 Project 365 – Week Sixteen

I’m going to make a pronouncement - & some of you may scoff or tell me to hush so I don’t jinx us all – but I really really believe that this week had the last of the snow until next fall. (If I say that emphatically enough it might even be true!)

Sunday, April 13^th       

The Daily Bike. I also spent some time putting gadgets on my bike – a cell phone holder & the lock I’ve had for almost a year. Why, yes I can use a screwdriver!

Monday, April 14^th

I had to laugh at myself today – this was my affirmation for the day & I taped it on my forehead as a reminder (no I didn’t leave it on there all day – ha!).

Someone had suggested that I put stickers on my helmet, so I printed some clip art on label paper & had at it. As I said on Facebook: Really, at each point in this bike riding process I have had a choice between dignity and fun. Any guesses as to which path I chose?

The Daily Bike – yes there was a chill in the air!

There are actually two houses in our neighborhood with almost the exact same display. Made me laugh.

Tuesday, April 15^th            

The last snow of the year. Really. I promise. Heh.

Dr. M saw these guys today.

The Daily Bike.

The moon!

Wednesday, April 16^th

I finished this scarf for a friend but haven’t sent it off yet, so I made use of it today! Yes, I did lower it down off of my face.

 

Dr. M being a hippie prof (& looking grim as he tries to figure out how to work his camera to take a selfie).

The Daily Bike. Oh & by the way thanks to everyone who encouraged me to get a helmet. I was waiting at a corner & just fell right over (I have terrible balance). My head banged on the pavement but it was well protected. I would say that only my pride was hurt, but we all know I don't really have any pride left. Ha!

Thursday, April 17^th      

The Daily Bike.

Cows napping & staring at Dr. M. (and one of them isn't even a cow!).

Starling – so pretty in the sun.

Our Maundy Thursday service at church.

Friday, April 18^th

Goldfinch!

Look who got out of her long winter prison! She’s a little raggedy, but Dr. M will trim her in a few days & then she’ll be ready to go crazy all summer.

The Daily Bike.

Good Friday at church.

Saturday, April 19^th  

The Daily Bike.

Dr. M made a lovely dinner tonight.

Tower o’ sheep. Appropriate for Easter weekend, right?

Have a great week!
