2012 - A Day in the Life - Weeks 24-26

I'm a great big slacker.  Here's three weeks' worth of pictures for you! I'm going to try and be better about getting these done weekly.  :)  Try is the important word here.

WARNING!! First picture is graphic! 





Sunday 6/10
Plucking chickens is HARD! 

Monday 6/11

There was mud.  And kids.  :)

Tuesday 6/12

Board meeting wasn't long but I was tired.  

Wednesday 6/13

A beautiful evening.  

Thursday 6/14

Blurry spotted mirror picture. 

Friday 6/15

Oh.my.werd.  This child slays me with her looks. 

Saturday 6/16

Yes.  I bought heels.  Yes they are fairly comfortable. 
The bonus? Cheap! $16.  

Sunday 6/17

There was cream cheese.  For a cheesecake.  
It was yummy. 

Monday 6/18

My fortune.  
I think "short-term" is a loose term. 

Tuesday 6/19

Oh look! All dressed up.  A very expensive morning with no resolution. 
BOO!

Wednesday 6/20

Still wearing the heels! 

Thursday 6/21

Beautiful blue sky in Minneapolis.

One day? I want to live here.  
Yes...in the middle of nowhere.  
With mountains.

Sunday 6/24

There was a request for snuggles.  
I happily complied. 

Monday 6/25

A request from a different girl.  Her snuggles can be...
less snuggly. :)

Tuesday 6/26

Oh look! My mini-me! She actually took this picture.  

Wednesday 6/27

This kid.  Seriously slays me. 
She made this face because I asked if I could take her picture.  
The headband is all her.  
Do you see the clump of mashed potatoes in her hair? 

Thursday 6/28

The turkeys are HUGE! The girls could barely wait for Thursday to be here, so they could go and check on all the birds.  

Friday 6/29

    Great pictures...so cool to see the girls...AND the heels. You wore them more than once too!!! As far as the headless chicken...I know you warned me but it just made me want to see it even more, until I saw it and then I wanted to UNsee it. I know I could never do it...but that's why I don't eat them. Much respect to you for really 'knowing' your food. =)

You Capture - DOF

Image
I loved this challenge.  I've been striving to find "the" depth of field picture that just speaks to me.  Luckily I had lots of opportunity this past weekend to find the pictures I wanted to.  On Saturday I boarded a bus to California's Amador County wine country and visited 4 different wineries with a friend. These were so bright and beautiful and simple. The colors!! Perfection! I took about 20 pictures of this door trying to get this perspective.  I love this one.  This was another one that was may favorite of about 20.   I think it's the burst of orange.   I can't wait to see all the beautiful pictures everyone else is going to post over at Beth's.

You Capture - Best Shot

Image
I suppose after two weeks of getting assignments and pictures that I *really* liked, it was time for me to struggle.  I wasn't taking any pictures that just spoke  to me.  But then again, it took me a long time to start taking pictures that I really liked. But I do have a couple that I think were my best for the week.  Hey, I've got an idea! Let me share them with you! This was taken on a hike the two older girls and I took last week.   And then we had our first harvest. One lone strawberry.  There are many more growing.  We are trying to keep the birds from nibbling on them before we get a chance to pick them.  Check out what other's thought was their best shot over at Beth's.

You Capture - Faces

Image
Beth? Are you out there?  Because I loved this challenge.so.much.   I think I captured a lot of love here too.  Oh, how I love her sweet face! And check out the eyelashes!! I thought only boys had eyelashes like that! (Do you like the bedhead too?) He is one of my most favorite people!  This is my honey, my rock, my money-maker, the love of my life! (Yes, sappy. But after more than 15 years together I still like him!) This is the other "man" in my life.  This is Bear.   He is sweet and stubborn and very jealous when it comes to sharing me with T.   This is "my" girl (the middle child).  She is the only one who looks enough like me for it to be obvious that she's my kid. She is so sweet and full of generosity and love.  Did you see the letter she wrote me the other day? No?  Go here and see.   And last, but certainly not least.  Me.  A sweaty mess after running 5+ miles wearing my awesome Team In Training training T-shirt.  This is the face a happy runner.   (F
