This week was all about the moon
& getting back into a “normal” routine.

June 8th
Today
was Pentecost at church. It was a lovely service. Like a lot of churches, we had
people read the lesson from Acts in different languages all at the same time to
demonstrate how the people heard the apostles preaching to them in their own
languages. Usually I find this to be rather jarring & not very meaningful,
but this year it was really powerful. The main reader (in English) used the
microphone & the other readers were reading somewhat softly along with her.
Very cool. I didn’t get pictures of any of that, but here is a picture that
someone took that happens to have me in it. I’m sitting (in my choir robe – ha)
getting ready to make the announcements.
My
daily walk. Someone asked me if posting these pictures here & on Facebook
is a motivator. Boy howdy is it! Hope you don’t get tired of them because it
really does make me feel accountable.

I asked all my Facebook People
what they think this volunteer plant in our garden is & the consensus is
watermelon. Or squash. We shall see! We also have about SEVEN volunteer tomato
plants!
My daily walk. If you look
closely in the picture on the lower right you can see Dr. M sitting on our
swing waiting on me.

I did a 10 on 10 post today –
you can check it out here. I’ll
just share two of the pictures here. This is the face I made after I tried a “veggie
breakfast patty.” Blech!
My daily walk.

Today my bangs were making me
crazy, but I didn’t have anything to use to corral them. I mentioned to a
coworker that I might try to use paperclips & she dug out two blue ones
that matched what I was wearing – ha!
This is my pleased with myself
for problem-solving selfie.
My daily walk.
Dr. M saw a Blue Jay in our back
yard.
The moon! I love how it looks like
it’s being held by a crescent moon.

My daily walk.
Our hanging basket is
outrageously pretty.
The Honey Moon!
Friday,
June 13th
Finished another puzzle. One of
the pieces is missing – they did some maintenance in our office, turned all the
chairs upside down & left them that way (??) & apparently knocked part
of my puzzle off the desk, & one of the pieces went missing. :(
My daily walk. I took a walk at
work & then came home & took Daisy out for a spin. I think that might
be my next challenge – one walk & one bike ride per day.
Doves. I love how they’re always
in pairs.
The moon!

Today Dr. M & I went to the
Fen. I walked the trail, while he took pictures of flying things (and a Bug). Gorgeous day!
Have a great week!
Your hanging basket is breathtakingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI really love that idea of reading the scripture in different languages. very cool.
ReplyDeleteI don't know a lot about plants but that doesn't look like a squash plant to me. Be sure and let us know!!
I love the photo of the moon through the tree branches. That's an imaginative way to photograph it!
ReplyDeleteA veggie breakfast patty? Blech! Oh dear....I must send you a CARE package. :)
ReplyDeleteS
CARE package? Come on and say it, S., it's a "bacon box."
DeleteI love catching up with you at the end of every week. that puzzle piece probably got sucked up by the vacuum cleaner.
ReplyDeleteThe moon with the leaves in front of it may very well be the most amazing picture ever!!!
ReplyDeletePaper clips as bobby pins? My world has just changed.
I can relate to posting your daily walks on Facebook being a motivator. I feel a bit of that when I post my mileage and time to my RunKeeper app. Yeay for motivators!
ReplyDeleteI love your "pleased with myself" picture - you look like a model!
Love all the photos. There are too many for my little brain to remember....but I know the plant and moon very very cool! Our church does not do that...in other languages. That sounds really special though. Next time record it for me....well...that would be hard to do if you are in church...
