“Putting A Wrap On Spring” Despite the fact that the calendar says that it is spring, it was a little chilly today. That must be what caused an urge in me to start knitting a wrap; that, and I found a cool pattern and yarn for said pattern. Also, I am still dealing with my weeklong cold. Having a simple project to work on while I rest in the recliner and watch documentaries with Weber makes me feel at least…
“An Apple A Day . . .” Whether I’m hungry, thirsty or just need a little energy, an apple always does the trick. It is a good way to nurture my body.
“Hidden Words – Scramble With Friends”
“Please Don’t Grow! I had every intention of at least getting our garden prepped and ready for planting if not actually planted this week while I’ve been on spring break. Unfortunately, the respiratory crud that hit me over the weekend has really kicked me in the rear. I have not done much of anything this week. In an effort to make me feel better, Weber bought me some of these mini doughnuts that have absolutely no redeeming nutritional value,…
“Tangrams” Weber is not a game player and I couldn’t bring myself to photograph a game of Words With Friends or Scramble With Friends on my iPad so I had go for a game that I can play by myself. I have loved Tangrams since I was a child. There is still something so fascinating to me about the thousands of shapes that are possible by combining these seven geometric pieces.
“Spot On” I thought my days of being followed into the bathroom were over once the girls passed toddlerhood. Nope! Though I did have a few years of privacy, the cat has now taken over where they left off. It worked to my advantage for today’s photo thanks to the spots on the shower curtain.
“It’s Not Easy Being Green” Today is another day of life going on regardless of plans. Friday night a group from Resounding Harmony sang at the Dallas Museum of Art. By the end of the performance, I had no voice. This was a relatively short performance so having no voice was not a particularly good sign. When I woke up yesterday, I was seriously congested. I had a hellacious cold. By this morning, it had moved into my chest….
“Imagine Green” What’s that saying, “life is what happens while you are busy making plans?” That pretty much sums up this weekend for us. We had an al-day class on Saturday. Afterwards we decided to go test drive (well, not me) one of the cars we saw at the Auto Show the other night. We bought it. It is a nice car and the manufacturer had nice incentives. We have been talking on and off about getting a new car;…
“Paint the Field Green” Today is an absolutely gorgeous day; it definitely feels like spring. The grass, however, is still looking like winter – brown and crunchy. The only green growth seems to be primarily weeds, a sign that we are behind in applying the pre-emergent weed killer! There were no pretty fields of green to photograph so my Lego mini artist decided to help me out by painting a green field. If he works diligently, he should make it…
“My Neck of the Woods” Today’s prompt of “branch” was probably meant to inspire some beautiful shots of budding spring trees. We have a few of those around, but, as you can see, I took a different approach. Being that I live in the city of Farmers Branch, I decided on one of those photos that falls into the “making it personal” realm. This is our street sign with our city’s logo. And just for good measure, there are a…
