“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…
“Silver Where? Today’s prompt of “messy” offered me so many possibilities! Weber would tell you that I need not look any further than my desk, which admittedly is a major disaster right now. Then there is the pile of shoes in my closet. Some days I think that it is a miracle that I make it out the door in the morning wearing two matching shoes! The mess I chose to photograph is our silver wear drawer. It had these…
“Dare Taken” Never challenge a man who spends his days teaching middle schoolers to a dare. They have no fear!
“Oh, H2O!”

Another day posted late – I’m turning into a slacker! Despite the fact that Saturday’s (yesterday’s) prompt was the one a loathe most each month, the self portrait, I took the photos early in the day. I just didn’t manage to get them posted before we went out for the evening with friends. I was happy, or as happy as I can get, with two of the who knows how many shots I took. “Serious Saturday” I am trying to…
“Flour Power” It is funny to me how I chose to respond to today’s prompt of “hobby.” For whatever reason, I don’t think of any of the things that I like to do as “hobbies.” They are just things that I do. For that reason, I had to really think about what I was going to photograph today. The first thing that came to mind was knitting. Of all of the activities that I do in my spare time, this…
I forgot to post this last night. I’m not sure why my routine fell apart. It may have had something to do with the awesome chocolate chip scone I had as an evening snack. Brooke makes them and freezes them for me so that I can dole the scones out to myself as treats in between her visits. “A Slice of Our Mornings” After twenty years of packing lunches for the girls, my lunch packing days are over. Weber makes…
“Making Butter” One of the things that we treat ourselves to is homemade butter. Unlike many foods made at home, it is not cheaper to make butter than to buy it, but it sure tastes better. Making the butter is one of Weber’s self delegated chores. So tonight he made butter and I took pictures. The mixer has to be on “full speed ahead” for the process of cream becoming butter to work. I took lots of pictures of…
