“Power lines – Lifelines” Today was a day of choices. I’m not sure that I made the best ones, but I am happy with the ones I made. I had a bunch of work to do for school. I unconsciously made the choice not to do any of it today. I say subconsciously because throughout the day I kept saying, “I’ll do this, then I’ll grade tests.” With this tactic, I managed to read a bit, do some laundry, clean…
‘A Splinter of Who I Am” This is just where I am today…not sure why this spoke to me, but it did.
“Sunday Soak” This photo is one of wishful thinking . . .if I had had time to relax, this is what I would have done. Time soaking in the hot tub is good for both my body and my spirit. Today was a full day of church and singing, regular Sunday services this morning and then a beautiful Choral Evensong this evening followed by dinner with a dear friend. Though it was not particularly relaxing, it was a good day….
“The 13th Table” Many of the people who are part of the Capture Your 365 community are avid and very talented scrapbookers. Yesterday many people posted scrapbook type collages as a documentation of the details of their day. It was cool to see an entire day in snapshots. Because I worked from home today, I decided that I would give the collage thing a try. I had tons of work to gone done today and most of that was going…
“Real Life” It doesn’t get much more real than this during the evenings at our house. Sad, but true. Since we both usually have work to do at night, it is nice that we share a home office. If we didn’t, we’d never see each other!
‘Scheduled Maintenance” Wednesdays are over-scheduled even without a visit to the dentist!
‘Routine Breakfast” This week is all about photographing the details of daily life – both the ordinary and the extraordinary. The above shows how we begin almost every day – well, how we begin after we smack the snooze on the alarm a few times, stand in the shower in an effort to become coherent, get dressed wearing clothes that hopefully match and finally stagger out to the kitchen for that first cup of coffee. The coffee is accompanied by vanilla…
“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…
“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.
