2014 Project 365 – Week Thirty-four

Well, my “procedure” is behind me (ha!) & I don’t have to do that again for another 10 years. Other than that the week was pretty quiet. If a bit toady.

Sunday, August 17^th  

Bought my supplies for my colonoscopy.

My daily walk.

Dr. M did some flash phone photography.

What passes for nightlife around here.

Monday, August 18^th  

Dr. M saw a parakeet in our back yard! Now that’s the strangest thing yet.

Mr. & Mrs. Goldfinch stopped by for a bite to eat.

Drama Queenitude – pictures of my chicken broth, Jell-o & Ensure – and me with tape on my mouth so I wouldn’t accidentally drink anything which is actually from the next day but I’m not fixing it now. Ha! My doctor has his patients do half of the Gatorade/laxative mix one day & the other half the next day. Fun times!

My daily walk.

Tuesday, August 19^th            

Almost done!

Dr. M saw this while he was waiting for me to finish my procedure. Made us laugh.

My daily walk. See that relieved look on my face? And that’s my last word on the subject. Heh.

Wednesday, August 20^th

Drove by the Tax Time Pig today! And got my usual terrible photo of it.

My daily walk.

Thursday, August 21^st

My daily walk. I did not sing in the rain, although as someone pointed out since my neighbors already think I’m weird I don’t know why I didn’t! (I think that sentence might have needed a comma or two.)

Dr. M saw several of these little dudes this evening.

Friday, August 22^nd

We had a baby shower at work. I was supposed to bring “a vegetable.” Heh. (Many thanks to Dr. M for stopping by the farm stand to get these fresh veggies. The tomatoes were from our garden.)

My daily walk.

Saturday, August 23^rd   

Participated in the ALS Ice Bucket challenge this morning. I’ll probably share the video later this week (if I can figure out how). Dr. M’s was WAY better than mine – maybe I’ll share both of them!

My daily walk mow sweat fest. Why didn’t I wait until after this to dump ice water on my head?

Dr. M took a turn at mowing. I had to laugh at the garland the mower acquired from the trees that lean over the back of our fence. Very stylish!

Have a great week!

2014 Project 365 – Week Twenty-five

I have made a solemn vow that next week’s daily walk pictures will NOT contain selfies. Sheesh – I don’t know about you, but I am TIRED of my face. Ha!

Sunday, June 15^th        

My daily walk.

I posted these photos on Wednesday – as you can see by the end of the week some of these promises have been fulfilled.

Monday, June 16^th

My daily walk – I helped mow. Yes, that actually IS sweat on my brow. I know – I’m amazed too!

Tuesday, June 17^th            

Dr. M took a picture of one of my favorite scenes – hay!

My daily walk. Someone on facebook said it looked like I was walking in the Milky Way :)

Wednesday, June 18^th

Lots of pictures today. First up – my daily walk, which I took rather early at work to avoid the heat.

Look who I found! I spent my lunch hour running errands & decided to do a drive-by shooting of the Tax Time Pig. Blurry as per usual – ha!

Dr. M saw our albino squirrel – so cute…

Our neighbors asked Dr. M to take a picture of them – it was their 59^th wedding anniversary! Happy Anniversary Mr. Ken & Mrs. Ruth!

We had a storm roll through (it’s a regular Wednesday thing these days) – Dr. M took this pretty sinister picture.

Toad!

Thursday, June 19^th

My daily walk – I enjoyed walking part of it barefoot in the grass.

Dr. M saw a couple of babies on campus today – sweet!

Friday, June 20^th

My daily walk – the working from home edition.

Dr. M took pictures of our volunteer tomatoes (& the bug that guards them). Also pictured: the Lavender Menace & Daisy Nation, about to explode.

Saturday, June 21^st  

Bed head. My hair looks like this most mornings – it always makes me laugh.

My daily walk. As I said on facebook, today was a day that would have decided to NOT walk, except that I feel obligated to post pictures.

Daisies! The first of MANY pictures of the daisies this summer, I’m sure.

Have a great week!

2014 Project 365 – Week Two

So, how did everyone survive the Polar Vortex? Personally, I ate soup & tried a particular garment for the first time this year…

Sunday, January 5^th   

I’m pretty sure that as long as we have corn we’ll have a picture of a squirrel on the feeder…

Junco!

I tried to use my Planet Box as much as possible this week. This is Monday’s lunch.

Monday, January 6^th

It was so cold that the wreath we have on the back door froze to the door!

There were about six male cardinals in our back yard. Very unusual for us!

I bought some mini sweet peppers to eat this week – so cute & pretty!

Tuesday’s lunch – that’s leftover mac & cheese with ham & peas in the purple container.

Tuesday, January 7^th            

The temperature was this on Tuesday:

So I pulled out a mock turtleneck for the first time this season. Ordinarily they’re a staple of my winter wardrobe, but with my increased body temp these days I haven’t thought I could tolerate them. But I figured at minus 9 degrees I might be safe. And I was. Mostly.

Wednesday, January 8^th

The Tax Time Pig! This might be my last picture of it since our office is moving over the weekend. But we’re not moving that far away so I might venture down its street again sometime.

Thursday’s lunch – that’s honey mustard dressing in the little container, for dipping the squash & tomatoes. I had soup too.

Thursday, January 9^th    

More snow started falling Thursday night. I was surprised by it because the temps had started rising by then. It sure was pretty…

Friday, January 10^th  

Squirrel…

I was going to do the 10 on 10, but my pictures bored me. But here are a couple. The stack of 28 boxes I packed in our office – it’s all ready for the movers to take them to the new office where I can then UNpack all of them. :)

Our Christmas tree still makes me smile… (p.s. um, the lights are sparkling on here - how the heck did that happen? I like it!)

Saturday, January 11^th   

I found this penguin business card holder at the bottom of a box at the office. I don’t use business cards in my current position so I was trying to figure out what to do with it. I went online & found some affirmations, and then I used them with some of our pictures from this year & printed them on card stock. Pretty cool!

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!
