right now

I'm listening to The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton.

I'm trying to learn how to get the results I want with my Polaroid.

I'm roaming around my yard with my 100mm macro appreciating spring.

I'm eating an otter*pop, feel like a kid again.

I'm thinking about my friends and how I can help.

I'm watching the puppy run circles in the yard.

I'm caught up with project life -- love this weekly project.

I'm preparing watermelon for our canyon cookout tonight.

I'm mending a few of Megan dresses.

I'm expecting the girls home any minute.

I'm wishing this cold sore on my lip would hurry up and heal already.

I'm loving the overwhelming fragrance of the blossoms.

I'm getting back to running in the early a.m.

I'm eating a carrot.

I'm debating weather to start of vegetable garden -- our pesky ground squirrels are making me think twice.

I'm using the last of my amazon gift cards.

I'm loving this day.

12of12 | April


[enlarge]

01. I wouldn't say I'm that committed to exercise to get up at 5am to do it, but if I don't have any other time to get it done during my day I will rise early if I must. I simple can't pass up the rush of endorphins it provides -- I need it to stay sane.
02. Took this as we walked into violin lessons. Love how light it is at 6:45am now, plus the mountains looks misty and beautiful. A perfect contrast next to the tree blossoms.
03. I am often amazed that she understands how to read the mass amount of tiny notes, let alone play them at a tempo too quick for me to follow along.
04. Reading with Megan's class. Cracks me up the way she was not sitting on her chair.
05. Blossoms mixed with snow.
06. While volunteering at the school Tess showed me the chicks that hatched only yesterday. I was surprised they were so interested in my camera, and loved how there was one looking at me intently as if to ask, what on earth are you doing?
07. When I left town last week Adam made some changes to the house. Among other things like redecorating our library (share photos soon), he reorganized our entry a bit, which included him gathering up a few of my old cameras I've collect over the years. I enjoy having them all together.
08. Megan flew in the house after dance and ran right passed me to give her dad a hug (he's been in Montana). None of us were really sure he was going to make it home tonight. He did!
09. Only Tess would be doing the dishes while eating an orange.
10. I purchased another CF card today -- need more memory for when I travel so I don't have to take my laptop. Thanks Kathy and Lori for your birthday gift.
11. Happy the sun finally came out tonight, just in time to set.
12. Thursdays are always long days for me and today was no different. Really looking forward to bed.

I honestly could have done a collection of just weather related photos -- today was a mixture of everything.

I hope regardless of what direction your day took you, you were able to see all good. :)

52 photo project | week 01 | nourish

My friend Bella has started a photo challenge that I'm looking forward to doing for the next 52 weeks.

52 Photos Project

It's called 52 photo project and it begins this week. I'm sorry I'm a little slow in sharing this new project, I have been gone and busy catching up that I've failed to mention it until now. If you go to the link you will find all the details, but basically Bella will give a prompt at the beginning of each week and then we share our photo on Wednesdays. I, for one, am quite fond of photo prompts so I'm looking forward to playing along. It always helps get my mind thinking more creatively as I consider what each word means to me.

This week prompt is nourish. There were a lot of things that came to my mind and I actually had thought about doing something completely different, but the last two days as I've been out and also reflected back on the week I just had and how needed it felt, right now I'd have to say being outside, having my windows open, hearing the birds, seeing the bunnies running around from house to house, and watching the new life take growth in the trees nourishes my spirit tremendously.



I don't think I realized how much the warmth, the color, fills me up until this season as I've watched the winter linger on. I've had a little bit of the winter blues as spring attempts to come and then gets squashed time and again by yet another snow storm. Although cold is still in our forecast, I am grateful the leaves are unfolding and the blossoms are blooming and the world outdoors is coming alive again. It's filling me up.
