2025 Project 365 – Week Twenty-four

Another week, another bunch of flower photos!

Sunday, June 8th 

Dr. M says that Rudbeckia takes its own sweet time opening up. 

Monday, June 9th

Tiny Jesus apparently had a rough pentecost.

Tuesday, June 10th

Progress! Pretty pretty.

Wednesday, June 11th

I hear ya Emo Daisy, I hear ya.

Thursday, June 12th  

I was amused that I decided that my Snoopy earrings match my daisy jewelry. And really, it IS appropriate since Charlie Brown got him from the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm. 

Friday, June 13th      

Our porch mum is looking lovely!

Saturday, June 14th

Dr. M wandered around the yard this morning.

I went to Elliott’s 2nd birthday party! He THOROUGHLY enjoyed his cupcake. And his Mimi’s cupcake. And would have dived into mine if I hadn’t already eaten it. He is adorable.

His brother is also adorable. He was so very serious going in circles in his car - I posted this video on the socials with the caption: My great nephew Grayson is all of us right now.

Finally, Dr. M brought home some blueberries from his dad’s blueberry bush! I can’t wait to dive in.

I’m feeling a disconnect between the normality of my personal life and the insanity of the world around me. How about you? How are you holding up?

2025 Project 365 – Week Twenty-three

I think maybe I read one blog post all week. And that’s all you need to know about that. (Yes, this is the same thing I posted last week - and I don’t think next week will be any better!)

Sunday, June 1st 

I have a coworker who has chickens and it makes me feel like a wealthy woman when I bring these eggs home!

We had a LOVELY service at church but me being me I had to tell my bestie during communion that I had a bit of Jesus stuck in my teeth. You can’t take me anywhere.

Monday, June 2nd

I worked late & then went by Dad & Sue’s on my way home. They were having a painting party! And using child labor (for about 5 minutes until he had to move on to something different). 

Tuesday, June 3rd

Your weekly daylily! They’ve been really pretty this year.

Wednesday, June 4th

The wildflower bed is basically Bee Balm Central these days, but we’re going to have a few other things too, like this aster and coneflower. 

Thursday, June 5th  

Our house got power washed this week, so Ms. Pinky has been living under the oak tree. She seems to like sitting in her chair - we might leave her there for a while! 

Friday, June 6th      

I wore an ANCIENT shirt of Dr. M’s that I appropriated early in our marriage. I loves it.

Saturday, June 7th

I spent some quality time finishing one square & starting another one. On the round after what you see pictured I realized that I was supposed to have eight petals instead of seven. I’m not sure how to fix it going forward, so I think I have a very fancy coaster now. Woot?

We had an employee pass away at work this week. Such a sad situation for his family - he was only 20 years old. It’s a cliche - but it really does make you think about your own life. What had I hoped to accomplish with my one wild and crazy life? Well, as I was reminded on the socials this week - my five year plan is to wait and see what happens. How about you? Are you a planner, or a floater like me?

2025 Project 365 – Week Twenty-two

I think maybe I read one blog post all week. And that’s all you need to know about that.

Sunday, May 25th 

We long ago solved the problem of folding fitted sheets by always washing our sheets & putting them back on the bed. But, reader, the time of elves has passed. I put the summer sheets on the bed & then had to “fold” these. I think I did a pretty good job! There was a smidge of cussing. 

Monday, May 26th

Our Carolina Hurricanes didn’t win the Stanley Cup semifinals, but on this night they won this game! It was the first time they’d won a game in the semifinals since 2006 when they won the Stanley Cup. Our coach was the captain of that team. It was a good season.

Tuesday, May 27th

Dr. M made another amazing soup for me. When I told my dad & Sue that I was heading home to eat soup, Sue said that he’d had soup for lunch. He’d offered to let her have some but SHE DIDN’T WANT SOUP WITH PIZZA IN IT. What. Turns out when he reheated the pizza it got too crispy so it injured the roof of his mouth. He was delighted that the soggy pizza caused no scrapeage. Reader, he left the olives on the pizza even though he doesn’t like olives. So any and all commentary about my weird food should now cease.

Wednesday, May 28th

Many years ago I sent a fellow blog friend (Sandra Leigh) a prayer shawl that I’d made. She returned the favor this week. I think I’ll be making good use of this!

“My” blueberries are coming on strong!

Thursday, May 29th  

Ms. Pinky is getting over her annual snit!

Friday, May 30th      

Daylily Nation is still going strong.

Saturday, May 31st

Dr. M took a photo of one of my favorite scenes. 

I spent a couple of hours in the office after church today, and I could I have stayed another three. I keep telling myself that other times of the year are not this crazy, so there will be an end in sight. Maybe in August? If you are having a calm spring/summer I do not want to hear about it. Just kidding - tell all!
