Day 122 of 2026

Hello, May.

 

Day 265 of 2025

I am inspired to do some fall cleaning. 

Part of that today included washing a small throw rug. 

The machine did not want to spin it sufficiently on the first cycle, 

so a separate second spin was in order.

 

Day 104 of 2025

It's officially been spring for a while now 

so I thought it was time to change the bedspread to a lighter feel. 

That means this one needs a wash before I put it away until fall. 

What better day to do that than laundry day?

 

Day 229 of 2023

This evening I'm wearing a pair of super soft pajama pants 

and doing the daily word search puzzle. 

I know it's only August but I am really ready for summer to be over. 

It's not my favorite season as I am too sensitive to heat, sunburn 

and mosquito bites, 

all three of which make me miserable. 

Bring on sweater weather.

 

Day 67 of 2023

It's almost springtime.

 

Day 34 of 2023

A few paper hearts have gone back up. 

Egg carton snowman gets to stay.

 

Day 282 of 2022

Taking a walk.

Fall is definitely here.

Day 265 of 2021

Today is the first day of fall. 

To commemorate the autumnal equinox when my kids were growing up, 

we would stand the egg on end. 

It has been said only to work on the two equinoxes. 

I don't know if it is true or not, but it is always fun. 

Today I couldn't get the egg to stand, but you get the idea, right? 

Happy Fall for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere.

 

Day 228 of 2021

Another sign that fall is coming. 

I'm usually a little annoyed that this kind of display is out so early, 

but this year I'm not mad about it.

 

Day 8 of 2021

I changed the dishes to blue and found the dining table.

 

Day 296 of 2020

I'm still upstairs quilting. 

I'm still watching the tree as it changes. 

I'm loving it even more than before.

 

Day 294 of 2020

I thought, to save you from yet another picture of another color of the quilt, 

I would show you what I see out the window when I take a water break.

 

Day 286 of 2020

Somehow, when I wasn't looking, the redbud tree changed color.

 

Day 112 of 2020

The redbud is full of color. 

This is my favorite time, just before the blooms pop open. 

The color is so much darker and deeper now.

Day 99 of 2020

I made some masks today. 

I took pictures of them. 

I decided not to post them here in favor of a picture of spring blossoms. 

I thought maybe you (and I) might need something more uplifting.

Day 89 of 2020

After one of our neighborhood walks, 

I was inspired by the daffodils and crocuses to change the dishes.

Colors used:  Meadow, Lemongrass, Sunflower, Daffodil, Turquoise, Peacock, 

White, Flamingo and Mulberry

Day 59 of 2020

Too soon, Little Ones.

Day 329 of 2019

For a multitude of reasons 

Fireball and I hired a team to do our leaf clean-up this year, 

but the real story about this picture is that it was a collaborative effort. 

While I was taking pictures of the final few minutes of the clean up, 

GB#3, who was at the house at the time of the clean up, 

wanted to take a picture. 

When this happens, I hold the camera on the bottom to save it from dropping, 

GB#3 looks through the viewfinder, 

and we press the button together 

because he can't seem to get his finger all the way on the top of the camera

 to get it to work. 

Our pictures look similar 

but he was lucky enough to get one of the team members 

standing on top the gear in the back of the truck.

Did I mention that he is only five years old?

Day 297 of 2019

What a difference a week makes. 

Fall has definitely arrived.

Day 279 of 2019

R, Big D and GB#3.

Harvest at Newfields. 

Great way to end a great weekend.
