2015 Project 365 – Week Thirty-three

Just another week in the life…

Sunday, August 9^th     

Ms. Pinkie Petunia Verbena.

I am OBSESSED with this word game I’ve downloaded onto my phone. I had passed the Penguin level earlier, but today I made it through the Sheep level. Ha!

Monday, August 10^th   

We’re not sure, but we think this squirrel is saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Although, since he’s facing the Nazarene church across the street, it might be the Pledge of Allegiance to the Christian Flag, instead of to the American Flag. Evangelical squirrels – who knew?

His & hers tomato knives. If you look closely you can see some pepper from a prior mater sandwich.

I did the 10 on 10 thing today. Go here to read all about it (actually, I think most of you have already been there & done that ).

Around the yard.

Square #1 of Pattern #16.

Oh mater tree, o mater tree, how lovely are your green-and-red orbs…

               

 Wednesday, August 12^th         

I took a mini walk at work (I mowed later for my “real” exercise). Gorgeous sky!

Thursday, August 13^th      

Very early Thursday morning Dr. M tried to capture the Persied meteor shower. He saw a few shooting stars, but wasn’t able to get any pictures. I thought these were pretty cool anyway.

On my daily walk I passed the house that mows about twice a year. They always just leave all the grass on the sidewalk. I kind of like to shuffle through it & crunch on the dry bits.

Friday, August 14^th  

Our hanging baskets still look lovely.

The Board of Directors.

Saturday, August 14^th   

Dr. M pulled out Little Miss Sunshine hoping that she will help save our remaining sunflowers. We shall see!

My daily walk. I love that little donkey – reminds me of Eeyore.

               

Hope everyone has a great week!

10 on 10

Although I think my work days are pretty boring, I decided to do a 10(ish) pictures on the 10th post. Prepare to be amazed! Or, probably not amazed. Prepare to be neither over nor under whelmed!

1. I'm almost ready for work - just have to do my hair & makeup. OK, the only way I'm actually almost ready for work is that I'm dressed.

2. Driving down the road to the office. I started a new audio book today - Girl on the Train. The jury is still out on whether I like it or not.

3. My company has adopted a 1st grade classroom. Dr. M did a fabulous job of picking out school supplies for a couple of students.

4. I usually work through lunch, but Monday was CRAZY, so I decided to take a break & read my (fluffy paranormal mystery) book.

5. Afternoon snack!

6. Heading home - a little later than usual. And boy is my car dusty!!

7. I was so zonked by the time I got home that I parked myself in my chair & played on the computer for a while.

8. When it got cooler, I spent some time with Dr. M outside - lovely evening!

9. My daily walk.

10. My afternoon snack was so late in the day that I wasn't hungry when I got home. Finally, at 9:30 I decided to eat a sandwich.

How was your 10th?

2015 Project 365 – Week Thirty-two

It’s hummingbird season around here – they’re spending a lot of time filling their tanks. The other day, Dr. M & I were sitting outside & there was a hummingbird dogfight – we actually got strafed! I wish we’d been videotaping – although they’re so quick I can’t imagine being able to keep up.

Sunday, August 2^nd    

I wanted something green on my turkey & homegrown tomato sandwich & I found just the thing – shelled edamame. It was pretty tasty!

                    

My daily walk. I have a Facebook friend who helped me decipher the message on the fire hydrant: Die Out F’n Cancer. I think that’s a sentiment we can all agree with (even if we wouldn’t use exactly that language).

The moon!

Monday, August 3^rd   

Pinkie update.

Square #4 of Pattern #15.

Tuesday, August 4^th                

The temperature in my office when I arrived this morning. Brr!

A non-square project I’m going to work on between patterns.  

Wednesday, August 5^th         

New glasses! These are progressives that I should be able to wear all the time, once I get used to them. I was so tired of putting my reading glasses on & taking them off many times a day. We’ll see how I like wearing glasses even more often.

Squirrel.

Dr. M has been enjoying our tomatoes. Keeping ahead of the squirrels & birds is quite a trick… 

Thursday, August 6^th      

Dinner time…

Friday, August 7^th  

Around the yard. That flower that appears white is actually a pale purple & has been growing in Pinkie’s pot. Yes, not content to be the mother of petunias, she has now grown verbena. Hilarious!

Hummingbird.

My daily walk. Our neighbor gave us some hibiscus cuttings from his gorgeous plant – hope ours are as pretty next year. The naked ladies are out everywhere these days – so pretty!

Saturday, August 8^th   

My daily walk – a little earlier in the day because we were going out to dinner with one of Dr. M’s colleagues that evening. (Note: this is hilarious because when we got to their house we walked around their property, and then later we walked around downtown for a while, so my fitbit was VERY happy with me by the end of the day.)

When we got to town (Bellefontaine), there was a classic car show going on! So we checked out the cars while we waited for our table.

I had the Clint Eastwood pizza. I don’t know why it has that name, but I do know it was the first time I’d ever had potato chips on a pizza! It was pretty darned tasty.

After dinner, we took a tour of their historic theater – the car show was to benefit renovations. The inside was so fascinating! You can’t tell from the photo, but the clouds moved & there were stars winking in the sky. So cool!

               

Hope everyone has a great week!

2015 Project 365 – Week Thirty-one

Oh it’s AUGUST already. Sigh. Back when we lived in an apartment I didn’t care a great deal whether the days were short or long, but now I so resent the losing of the light. I know, I know, it’s still summer… but…

Sunday, July 26^th   

Sunday Squirrel.

I was so VERY grateful to a couple of my book club friends (a fierce mother-daughter team) for finding this yarn for me! It’s one of the colors I’m using for one of the afghans I’m making & I was fretting about it being discontinued. They were on a mission to find it & they succeeded. Woot!

Monday, July 27^th  

Pinkie found a friend… If you’d like to see more of these shots, plus some others from around the house, check out Dr. M’s blog here. He has some lovely melancholy thoughts there.

Dr M saw this killdeer in a parking lot. Silly bird.

Tuesday, July 28^th                

The mail room staff at work nominated me for an award! I was so touched (and frankly amazed because I kind of have a witchy reputation at work – ha!).

The moon!         

Wednesday, July 29^th         

Bambi’s mom.

Square #1 of Pattern #15. It’s damp because this pattern was very “curly” when I finished it so I had to go ahead & block it to get a good picture of it.           

Thursday, July 30^th      

Our neighbor’s volunteer sunflowers, plus the King of the Hummingbirds, surveying his realm.

These doves – they make me laugh. Apparently one of them pretty much landed on the other one. I can imagine him saying, “Hey baby, come here often?” And then she just slides away… Ha!

Friday, July 31^st  

Around the yard…

The moon!

Saturday, August 1^st  

The last of our daylilies, Rose of Sharon, and tomatoes!

Square #2 of Pattern #15.

Went to Heart & Hands again this week & crocheted a preemie hat. It’s pretty tiny.

We ordered a banner to put outside our church. I love love love it! It’s a product of the UCC church – thank goodness they’re sharing! I’m gonna order a tshirt too. Go here to check it out.

               

Hope everyone has a great week!
