2015 Project 365 – Week Thirteen

There aren’t very many pictures this week, & once again we very nearly missed getting a photo on one day. I’m just glad I took a random selfie (I have NO IDEA why I took the picture, except maybe to demonstrate that my hair is kind of out of control with static these days).

Sunday, March 22^nd    

I had a very busy day today – church, taking communion to a sick parishioner, and then book club! I was laughing because we’re all about digital books in our book club (that thing that sort of looks book-like is the menu for the café – ha!).

Monday, March 23^rd

Dr. M saw some canvas-backed ducks today!

Isn’t this the saddest sight you ever saw?

Tuesday, March 24^th        

Apparently Tuesdays are getting to be a problem – last Tuesday I had to use pictures from Dr. M’s university’s website. Today, you get me.

Wednesday, March 25^th

Canada geese on the move…

And a random racing pigeon that just showed up in our neighborhood! Dr. M did some research & thinks it belongs to a racing club in Illinois. I think it was just a bit off course!

Thursday, March 26^th   

I ran out of lettuce, but I was determined to have a salad anyway. Heh.

Dr. M got some great pictures of a blue heron in flight. Go to his blog here to see more.

Friday, March 27^th  

Tree, or Ent – you make the call.

Fish & Chips Friday – yum!

Saturday, March 28^th            

I didn’t have anything I needed to do today – such a nice feeling! So I spent some time watching spring training baseball & crocheting.

Well, we did have one thing to do – we attended a play at Dr. M’s university. It was very well done – and educational. Go here to read about the Living Newspaper type of production. Interesting!

The moon!

             

  

Hope everyone has a great week!

Wordless Wednesday - Spring Shenanigans

2015 Project 365 – Week Twelve

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!

Sunday, March 15^th   

Scenes from our back yard. Good to be home! 

Monday, March 16^th  

Oh look – a cardinal! We never see those around here… :)

My daily walk – OUTSIDE! Ah…

Tuesday, March 17^th        

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!

Wednesday, March 18^th

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.

Thursday, March 19^th   

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.

Friday, March 20^th  

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!

Saturday, March 21^st           

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!

2015 Project 365 – Week Eleven

We were travelling this week so of course we have a lot of pictures. Fortunately, Dr. M posted a couple of blogs with sheep & bird pictures – so this post is only moderately long instead of really long :) Go here and here – really, you don’t want to miss out if you haven’t seen these photos!

Sunday, March 8^th   

Headed to NC!! Scenes from the road.

The first thing I did after we unloaded the car was take a walk around my dad’s property. Spring!            

Monday, March 9^th  

I missed seeing these crocuses yesterday – I laughed because I specifically went out to find them & got distracted by daffodils.

Dr. M always enjoys watching the birds from my dad’s sun room.

Daddy, Amy, & I did some mall walking.

And then I sat outside and crocheted for a while!

Tuesday, March 10^th        

Dr. M went to visit his dad today, and of course wandered around a bit.

Meanwhile, I was taking pictures for my 10 on 10 post. (By the way, I went back & replied to all of your comments)

Wednesday, March 11^th

Today I went with Dr. M to visit his dad. I wandered around his property.

Then we sat around for a while just talking about nothing in particular. Can you see the two cats in the bottom right picture?

And then we decided to take a swing that Dr. M’s dad had made a number of years ago. I’ll be excited to sit in it this spring & summer. It’s funny – we’ve been trying to bring my car (Daisy) on long trips, but this time Dr. M wanted to bring the Bugly. I guess now we know why!

Cool sky on our way back to Daddy & Amy’s house.

Thursday, March 12^th   

Daddy & I went to a local parking lot to take my daily walk.

This plant grows in my dad’s yard in the winter – one or two leaves come up every year. There are never any blooms. Facebook seemed to think it’s trillium – what does blogland say?           

Friday, March 13^th  

We headed home today and took our usual short detour to check out the critters.

We stopped at Tamarack & wandered around so I could get my daily walk. We called the sculpture “B.O. Man” – but if you read what it’s about it’s actually very powerful.

Saturday, March 14^th          

Dr. M sprained his ankle while we were in NC (a dream battle involving the Simpsons + and a bed too near the wall = crunched ankle). Anyway, he was supposed to be taking it easy. I came home from the grocery store to find him cutting back honeysuckle vines. Men!

My daily walk – outside!! It was a bit breezy, but otherwise quite wonderful. Yay!

               

Hope everyone has a great week!
