Boy was it hard to get adjusted
to being back at work this week! I felt sluggish & unproductive – although I
did actually get a lot done. Dr. M took some great pictures this week &
once again helped me out by posting them on his blog. Check it out here!

Oh look – a cardinal! We never
see those around here… :)
My daily walk – OUTSIDE! Ah…

Dr. M & I both forgot to
take a picture today!!! I think this is the first time in several years
(although I guess I could share my screen shot of my daily walk on the
gazelle). However, I do have a couple of pictures to share – Dr. M gave a
lecture at his university as part of a new installation there about the dust
bowl. Good job sweetie!

I had a busy day – work, then a
meeting with our Rector, then this worship team meeting. Choir practice
afterward…
While I was at the meeting I
finished this scrubby
dishcloth. I’m not sure about how effective it will be, but it was a LOT of
fun to make.
That evening I thought this prayer
for a Wednesday in Lent was especially relevant.

Not content with the scrubby I
decided to make a bath
pouf. I’ve already used this & I would like to note that perhaps
washing it first would have been a good idea – it was alarming to see the
shower water run red. Ha!
Dr. M got a wild hair & decided
to pierce his ear again. Although I would also like to get another piercing in
one of my ears I don’t think I’ll use his method.

Early morning on campus –
were-deer!
Here they are in the light of
day…
I started a new afghan square.
The middle of it is pretty unusual – basically you crochet all these short rows
& then sew it together to get a circle. I was skeptical until I tried it.
Interesting!

Crow!!
Dr. M was
in his happy place out on the swing, so I had to join him.
My daily
walk – I pushed myself to go further than usual. Ugh – yet another reminder
that using a gazelle is NOT the same as actual walking! I need some more pretty
days (& fewer meetings) so I can get more fit out in the real world.
Hope everyone has a great week!
A star and the moon? next time Dr. M. needs a comet earring.
ReplyDeleteAlways love your week. Glad the weather is good and you can get outside. Love the swing.
ReplyDeleteThose first days back after vacation are killers! Just the thought of wading through all the emails makes me shudder.
ReplyDeleteRe: piercing ears...do we want to know what Dr. M's method was???
That swing looks great - both Sunday's picture and the one with you guys in it.
The answer is no...and thanks! We love our swing :-)
DeleteThat scrubby dishcloth is WAY TOO NICE to use as a dishcloth!
ReplyDeleteDid Dr. M pierce his own ear? Yikes. I went to Claire's in the mall. :)
I may have a problem, Steve... :-)
DeleteI do wish--like you--that this weather would straighten out so that I could start getting out and about more consistently and enjoying it. Yesterday it was windy and barely hit 30, but the wind chills dragged us well below that. I never did warm up after being out running an errand.
ReplyDeleteSOMEONE ON YOUR STREET HAS A TRACTOR?!
I admit, even I was surprised by that pic! It is not unusual for combine harvesters, etc, to go through downtown on their way from one farm to another, but one doesn't often see a tractor like this in a 1950s suburb, lol!
DeleteThe dear pic is frameable--a gorgeous wall hanging!
ReplyDeleteClever bath pouf.
I think it is one of my best pics, Rita...thanks!
DeleteNo way you are going to use that pretty flower for a kitchen scrubby!
ReplyDeletethe porch with the rainbow looks familiar - is that where Tax Time Pig lives?
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of the deer. The swing looks relaxing. We get cardinals all the time. It's our state bird.
