2014 Project 365 – Week Forty-three

I can’t believe October is almost over! I know that a lot of people are very happy when Daylight Savings Time ends, but personally I’ll be sad next week because that means that many of my daily walk pictures will be in the dark. Sigh.

Sunday, October 19^th     

Dr. M went to the Renaissance Festival with some of his students. Looks pretty ferocious to me!

Our stewardship team at church put on a luau for us this year (last year we had high tea). They always work hard & we have a lot of fun.

My daily walk – nice fall golden light.

Monday, October 20^th    

My daily walk – the looonnggg shadow edition.

Tuesday, October 21^st    

Dr. M took pictures around campus. This is one of my favorites trees.

My daily walk – fall berries.

Wednesday, October 22^nd

Dr. M took some fabulous fall pictures today!

I used my Planet Box for the first time in forever.

My daily walk. I always know witch way I’m going these days :)

Dr. M got us a couple of spooky cookies. After I head eaten most of mine I said that I’d meant to get a picture. Fortunately, he had started at the other end so we had most of a cookie for the picture. Ha!

Thursday, October 23^rd

Dr. M. wasn’t late for class, but only because he gave himself plenty of time.

I had a dermatologist appointment today. I was amused by the sign on the bathroom door – seemed extra fancy to me.

My daily walk, haunted by the ice cream truck. Isn’t it enough to listen to Turkey in the Straw approximately 943 times during the summer?

Dr. M drove to Louisville for a conference. When he checked into the motel the clerk asked, "Are ya here for the pigeon show or the lawn & garden show?" Dr. M thought about answering, "Actually I'm here for the murder and mayhem...and the bourbon..." (The conference was called, The Hard Hand of War, Irregulars and Civilians in the Civil War.)

Friday, October 24^th

My daily walk. The black & white photo was an accident, but I kind of liked it.

I took some pictures around the yard. Things look a bit seedy, but they certainly aren’t DONE yet!

Since I was on my own I made comfort food for dinner.

Saturday, October 25^th    

My daily walk, the mowing edition. The route from the Map my Walk app never fails to make me laugh.

Dr. M visited with Mr. Lincoln before he left Louisville.

Hope everyone has a great week!

10 on 10

I worked from home yesterday so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to participate in the 10 pictures on the 10th of the month meme. Well don't you know I was BUSY all day! I took a brief break mid-morning & for my meals, but otherwise it was work work work. Imagine - having to work at work. Sheesh.

Here I am, hard at work even before breakfast!

Mushroom, pepper & cheese omelet & grits - this is a definite advantage to working from home.

Took a break & started a new book. This is from the forward. I can't remember if I've told you guys that along with a "real" book, my book club has started assigning the free Kindle book associated with our birth month. What a hoot! Not to say that all free Kindle books aren't real, but they are usually pretty uneven in quality. And many of them are stealth Christian books. This one, however, is letting us know right up front what the agenda is - refreshing! I used to read a lot of light Christian romance & I enjoyed it. I'm more into mysteries lately, but this will be nice change. Unlike my free Kindle book from two months ago which was basically porn with a plot!

Lunch! Mixed greens, home grown tomatoes, peppers, almonds & feta.

After work I roamed around taking pictures. I had to laugh at how I had apparently grabbed my lunch tomatoes from the middle of the pack. Bottom left is a weed that we kind of liked & let grow all summer - now it's blooming. And bottom right is our little watermelon that we decided to go ahead & pick since it was probably not going to get any bigger with the cold weather. 

New crochet project. It's supposed to be a shrug, but I'm thinking I'll have to modify it if it's going to fit me - the model in their picture is about the size of Twiggy.

From my daily walk. This week there's a theme of abandoned children's "vehicles" on the sidewalks. 

Spent some time catching up on blogs. This is Stuff from Ellen's Head - you should check it out!

I was having more & more trouble pulling the yarn from my skein so I finally decided to see what the problem was. Apparently these two decided to become as one. The picture is blurry because I when I picked them up they started spinning together. Needless to say that once I got them disentangled I separated them in the basket :)

Of course we watched baseball - although we didn't stay up for the end. The game went to 10 innings (Kansas City won in case you were wondering).

Wordless Wednesday

2014 Project 365 – Week Thirty-seven

What a crazy busy week! I haven’t read a blog in ages (so so so very sorry!!!), and I haven’t responded to comments on my blog. I did want to tell Steve Reed that the lunchbox was just in the middle of the sidewalk, as if a child had been playing with it & left it behind – but it was so artfully placed that I wondered if it was left on purpose instead. There was a pile of sand behind it that looked like maybe it was supposed to be Treasure Island. Fun!

Dr. M has helped me out this week by doing two blog posts – one with hummingbirds and The Moon, and another with sunflowers. I’m including a couple of pictures of each here, but you should check his blog out for some really GOOD pictures. 

Sunday, September 7^th   

I took my daily walk before I left on my business trip to western NY.

I had to laugh – when I exited the toll road it said that the next exit was Canada. Very exciting!

While I was driving northeast, Dr. M was responding to a challenge. If you’ll recall he created tomato Ohio last week. I give you…Tomato North Carolina!

The moon!

Monday, September 8^th    

In East Aurora, NY, I got up pretty early & took my daily walk before meeting my boss for breakfast.

Meanwhile, Dr. M took pictures of the jungle that is our back yard.

A sunflower preview!

That evening my boss & I drove to Horseheads, NY. This was waiting in my hotel. Ha!

 The moon!

Tuesday, September 9^th

With short hair comes the possibility reality of bed head.

Another brief walk before heading to our Horseheads office.

Driving home, this was my fuel for the road.

Wednesday, September 10^th  

Our diocese has been scheduling Google photographers to go to all of our churches to do a virtual tour of each one. Today was our church’s turn. I went over this morning to set up the altar & took a few (quite inferior I’m sure) shots of my own.

My daily walk – a bit moody out.

I was so vegetable deprived on the trip that I thawed out some of my dad’s okra & stir fried it. Pretty tasty!

Thursday, September 11^th

My daily walk. Dr. M flew this flag in remembrance of the anniversary of the War of 1812, but it seems apropos of this day as well, don’t you think?

Friday, September 12^th

Our Ohio.

My daily walk.

Two more tomato states – Texas & Tennessee. Please note that these are not all the same tomatoes – we’ve been eating & giving them away as fast as we can!

Saturday, September 13^th    

Dr. M took me around to look at sunflowers today – such a glorious day! Again, his blog has better pictures. I had to laugh at the one of the two of us – I was handing him the phone, saying, “My arm isn’t long enough to take this picture.” Ha!

Hummingbird!

My daily walk – went to the park along the river.

Have a great week!
