Photo A Day: Feb 16th

Today's Photo A Day theme is "Something New"

Yesterday in Lowes while Daddy was picking up the electrical items he needed for the bathroom (read...boring) the kids and I went to look at the plant/garden section. They had a couple shelves of indoor plants marked down, and I thought one would be nice for in the bathroom. Clara picked this one out. "Because it's nice and orange and spiky". It needs very little light, and like moisture, but not to be in standing water. perfect for a stop of color in the bathroom :)

Something Old: 

 

Millie is our old Basset Hound. She loves to sleep in the chair but kitty was on there, and he was NOT going to move, so Millie climbed up, very carefully turned around, and laid down. Charlie looks a little worried she was going to sit on him, and surprised that she actually got up. It was so funny to watch!

 

Sad News

Just a note to anyone who might not know this....but a 1/2 a cup of coffee dumped over your camera is not a good thing..... I am charging my back up point a shoot camera, and will play catch up again on the photo a day. As soon as I get my Rebal back from the camera ER I will be a happy camper!

Photo A Day: Jan.20 and Some Snow Fun

Someone You Love

I love this man, with my whole heart.

Snow Fun: 

The on lookers. It is rather hard to sled when the herd wants to see what that funny looking thing you are carrying tastes like.

My wet, fluffy mare.

Ace "helping"

Eating snow.

Catching snow flakes!

Icy Rose hips

These pictures are from yesterday, and we had another fun day of snow play today. We are so enjoying some true winter weather after a long stretch of yucky bare ground! :)

Photo A Day Challenge: Sweet. What is sweeter then these three faces!

Photo A Day: Jan.18

Yesterdays challenge was Something You Bought.

Now, I LOVE taking photos, and I love old things so the picture is of my ebay find. A 1920's Kodak No. 2A Folding Camera. It is not in working order, but everything is there and I am married to a very handy guy. I got it for a steal, so this will be the trial run to see if we can get it working again. I would be thrilled if I could actually use it. Apparently you can still get film in specialty camera shops. And even if I can't use it, it's fun to look at :)

Photo A Day: Jan.17

Today's Photo A Day assignment is water, and while I would love to learn how to capture a drop of actual water, I do not have the proper lens or know how to do that.....SO, you all get some frozen crystals of water. Aka snow. 

The town we live in gets wind like you would not believe at times, and today was no exception. We are in the middle of a winter storm warning, and while we have about 3-4 inches (with a foot or so coming), with the wind it causes much deeper drifts and then almost bare patches. I love how the snow blow off the tops of the bricks in this picture, while filling the cracks.

I took this picture with my phone, since my camera battery is deader then a door nail. Sorry for the picture quality.

Photo a Day: Playing Catch-Up

Our weekend was rather busy, so I am playing catch up today.

Jan 15th, Happiness. Yesterday evening my husband brought me home skinny chocolate (working on keeping up the momentum I have going losing weight -15 lbs since Dec. 1) and 4 lovely primroses, on of my very favorite spring flowers. My marriage makes me happy. With out it, I would not have all I have been blessed with (3 sweet children being a huge one) . My best friend, lover and wonderful father to our sweet children truly makes me happy. There I go getting all sappy...but I am truly blessed!

Jan. 16th: Morning. This is not quite morning, but it was late one night when we went in to go to bed we found Sir Andrew just like this. Totally sweet and cute! :)

Jan. 13 and 14th: In your bag and something you are reading. My Bible. It was in my bag for Sabbath, and I ready it every day.

Photo A Day: Jan.12

Mr. Charlie Kitty Kitty is a keeper, he puts up with a camera in his face.

 Today's photo challenge is up close. This was an easy one for me. I love taking close up pictures and am drooling over a macro lens for my camera.

This picture makes me laugh. The kids are used to me getting in their face and taking picture of what ever they are doing. I pointed the camera at Andrew while he was helping Daddy grind coffee and he said, " Not now Mom, not now"...being the sweet mom I am, I got the picture anyhow. He is scowling at me.

Today's Photo A Day assignment is Where You Sleep.

You can find the list here: Photo A Day

I though about making my bed perfectly, with pretty lace edged pillow cases (even though I just changed all of the bed linens two days ago) but then decided to take a picture of it how it was right then. Rumpled after Miss F took a nap, all tucked in cozy. 

 

My sister in law made us the duvet cover for a wedding gift and I just love it.

 

Ok ok, today is a two photo a day kinda day. I am an avid book reader and this is the pretty beads on the shade of my bed side lamp.

Coffee,  in one form or another is a must!

Taking care of our critters is also another must. This is the kitten (well his foot) who adopted us today. He is young, shinny and HUNGRY) After a good worming, some good food and lots of love, he will fill out nicely. We have been talking about getting a cat. He just found us. The girls have named him Charlie.

School!

More coffee...we like our coffee.
