“School Buddy” It seems that for most of my life that I have been on the quest for the perfect purse. Well, maybe not my entire life – just since I had to start carrying a purse and we all know when that was. And still, at 51, I have yet to find the perfect purse. Today I had an epiphany and realized why that is. As I mentioned a few days ago, school has been a part of…
“Flowers is a Vase” It was nice to see that the day’s prompt was “still life” because still life is exactly what I had planned for my day! We had nothing on our calendar that had to be done. Yay! We slept late – really late. Considering that most of our mornings begin at 6 am, anything past 8:30 seems late. Past 10 constitutes really late! Oh well, it is the last time that we will get to do that…
“Not Your Kid’s S’mores” For some time we have been wanting to have a get together at the house. It has but put off several times in hopes that all of the renovations would be finished. We are not quite there, but close enough that we decided to go ahead with it tonight. This seemed like a good way to begin the new school year. it was fiesta time – empanadas, tacos, refried beans, corn,slaw and homemade salsa and guacamole….
‘Saturday Siesta”
“Puppy Love” Today’s prompt was “bump.” Elaboration on that was given as jolt, crash or smack. Thankfully I did not have anything in my day that could be described by any of those words. I had a day at home. I did do some work, but it was at a leisurely pace and did not require that I be dressed by 7 am. We spent this evening with friends. It was a wonderful evening during which we shared a…
“Hell on Heels” We have already established here that I have no fashion sense. Clothes at best are a necessity and are at worst an encumbrance. Therefore, I knew that I was going to be searching for a willing participant to help me with today’s photo. Brooke is definitely the one in our family who uses clothing to make a statement. We always kid her about her shoes. She already towers over all of us by a couple of inches…
“Handle on the Past” This shovel has been around here for a long time. It has dug many holes and shoveled many piles. Though it is a bit weathered and rusted, it is sturdy and has many more chores left in its lifetime.
“Chance and Necessity” It is hatch chili season and we have about ten pounds of them. As I write this, Brooke is roasting them so that they can soon become sauce for enchiladas or some other such goodness.
“First Day 47” Today was my 47th first day of school. Every year since beginning kindergarten at age 4, I have had a first day of school. Some were as a student, some have been as a faculty member and then there were those as a graduate teaching fellow where I had one foot in each camp. Since our school color is green and the campus map shown here was a big part of life on campus today as our…
“A Tisket, A Tasket … … a shadow and a basket” I wish that I had had more time to look for things for this prompt. It is a great mental challenge to try and find interesting perspectives and parts of seemingly uninteresting things to photograph. This is a laundry basket casting its shadow in the afternoon sun.
