Goodbye Irene
Irene isn’t totally gone yet and I’m thinking good thoughts for the people in New England and Canada now. She has left Virginia though, and we wouldn’t even know we’d had a hurricane if it weren’t for the news and internet. Here is the view from my front door yesterday afternoon. Irene’s eye was still [...]
How many books do you have?
I have over 1500 children’s books. I know because in the late 90s, I was teaching and, imagining the future children I hoped to have, collecting books mostly via the Scholastic book clubs I sent home with my students, and I created a database of all of ones I had then. They numbered 1500 then. [...]
new desks!
We have made good progress painting the rooms in our house. The blue room, aka George (as in Weasley*), the room formerly known as the dining room, is pretty much done. Robert really worked hard on the dark blue below the chair rail, which required several coats for good coverage. He struggled with the chair [...]
Last Day of the World journaling
In honor of the Last Day of The World, Paperclipping offered these journaling prompts. Here are my answers. If you decide to copy, please comment so I can read your answers. What was the last song you listened to? Probably something my daughter was singing, one of her songs. Who was the last person you [...]
Project 365 Day 115
I’m posting out of order because I almost forgot Monday’s photos. This what parts of my lawn look like right now. I love these flowers. I don’t have much to say about the flowers or spring though. I am working on a different project right now. I changed my email address on Sunday and I’m [...]
Project 365 Day 112
I’ve never given up on my Project 365, but I am renewing my commitment to it tonight. Recently it occurred to me that my true Project 365 is that I think about photography every single day. Unfortunately, I’ve been more critical of my photos in recent months and so I don’t post one every day. [...]
Project 365 Day 39
My dear husband saw me photographing my desk calendar this evening at 9:00 — I hadn’t practiced any photography all day and had to do something! LOL – and he offered to pose for me. I took about 20 photos and achieved two or three good ones. Isn’t there a quote about how Thomas Edison [...]
Postaday #37
Could you live without the internet for a week? For a month? Well, I have lived without the internet for week. It was difficult, but I survived. I do have plenty of things I’d like to do. Most of my favorite things do use the internet — photography, scrapbooking, reading, studying, getting inspired, and communicating [...]
Project 365 Day 35
I’m still figuring out what I want to do about my blog. I’m finding myself in a slight lull in picture-taking too. I don’t have very much for the entire last week, which makes it hard to do a weekly layout. But I never totally forget about photography. Here’s a moment I captured after my [...]
Project 365 Day 29, 30, 31, and 32!
I have taken pictures! I just haven’t posted in my blog. I’m thinking of starting a new blog. I need to create a watermark to protect my photos since I can’t right-click protect them here. Or maybe I’ll start sharing my Project 365 photos on my Smugmug, where I can right-click protect. I just like [...]
