Two major things happened this
week. I got my hair chopped off (!!!) and we drove up to Lake Erie for the
Labor Day weekend. There might be a few
more pictures than usual. And even at that I didn’t include any pictures of
black ducks (Dr. M you’ll just have to do your own post from our day at Kelley’s Island – ha!).

Finished
another prayer shawl. I think I’m ready to try something different now.
My
daily walk.
Monday,
August 25th
I did it! Or, rather, Carrie at
A Cut Above did it. Contrary to what one might expect, my head took about a
week to get used to the lack of hair. I had headaches! Very weird. Oh, and no
Locks of Love or similar program for me – my highlights were bleached &
those programs won’t accept bleached hair. :(
My daily walk.

This picture is a portent of a
future Wordless Wednesday. Stay tuned!
My daily walk – the accidental cul-de-sac
edition. Yes, I was reading a book on my phone, and no, I wasn’t paying
attention where I was going.

My daily walk – a little surreal
because it was dusk & my cell phone camera isn’t happy then. Ha!
Thursday,
August 28th
We harvested a bunch of tomatoes
today. Gave a bunch away & STILL have a table full.
My daily walk – the mowing
edition.
Friday,
August 29th
We drove up to Port Clinton
today. Our motel is right on the water – lovely!
My daily (very brief) walk. I
mostly just stretched my legs.
Saturday,
August 30th
We went
to Kelley’s Island today – lots of pictures! These are from the ferry. I was
fascinated with the water spray – I kept imagining that it was some sort of Chihuly
instillation – The Ferry’s Passage – or some such.
Lunch! I ate
one of the perch filets, but ALL of the sweet potato fries. They had brown
sugar dipping sauce & it was fabulous! Dr. M had a perch basket & one
of the house brews.
My daily
walk – around the glacial
grooves. Fascinating!
Seagulls.
Relaxing
by the lake – the water was so clear!
We
stopped by the winery, but am I sharing pictures of the glass of wine I almost
drank? No! I’m sharing a picture of the ducks out back. Ha!
The quarry…
On our
way home we stopped for a treat – it was good ya’ll!
Seagulls
going after bread in the water. It was a lovely day! And there’s more weekend to
come. You’ll just have to wait until next week.
Have a great week!
Love your short hair, love your ice cream cone, jealous of your tomatoes... Glad you had a nice little vacation over the long weekend. I've been so exhausted from learning the new job, I just come home and want to fold. So I've just vegged pretty much all weekend.
ReplyDeleteVegging is good for you...take care, and good luck with your job!
DeleteI think your short hair looks great. The shorter cut frames your features nicely. Too bad you didn't do this sooner to keep cool during the heat. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSo are you enjoying the shorter hair. It's definitely gotta be cooler, although I'm sure you're headed for cooler weather faster than we are. I chopped my hair a bit too, but not quite that short cuz' I'm a bit of a chicken, LOL! It looks good.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! Love the hair cut. It really, really looks good, and that photo of you with the black hat near the end is just great. I'd get that one printed and frame it, or something.
ReplyDeleteOther things I liked: the sweet potato fries, the tomato harvest, that beautiful water. What a great week and weekend you had.
love the haircut! and it looks like you mowed the same spot over and over and over and over...
ReplyDeleteI too love your haircut, especially the back. Is that what they call shingled? It's very sporty.
ReplyDeleteAnd that ice cream cone. SHAME on you. Now just tell me where I can get one!
OK, so maybe Locks of Love won't accept dyed/bleached hair, but I will. Red, green, no matter. With winter approaching I'd accept any color.
ReplyDeleteNo, on second thought, that sounds like a lot of trouble. I'll just stay au naturel. :)
S
Oh....nice photos. Thanks for sharing.
I always love looking at your week. Glad you had such a good one.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors of the prayer shawl and the pattern and how you displayed it.
ReplyDeleteYour hair--I agree with all of the above!
The pics of you two!
Such a beautiful vaca spot!
I love following you on your adventures, but I'm obsessed with that haircut! It is gorgeous! I never thought about a prayer shawl, but I'm doing adoration at church, and I may just have to have one for this winter.
ReplyDeleteYour haircut is terrific. It looks stylish and chic! The back looks great as well. Nice choice. It is one that will grow out well, too. Love the look.
ReplyDeleteliking the new haircut
