85/365 Color

"Please Take Me Home!"

I went to the grocery store the other day to get bananas, and only bananas.  As soon as I walked in the door, this plant cried out, 'Take me home with you, please!"  How could I resist the little orange flowers in the blue basket?  Those are my favorite colors. You knew that, right?  Despite its lopsidedness and the brown yips on its leaves, I could not resist this burst of color.  For this picture, I set it on a colorful tea towel that Brooke gave me.  All the brightness makes me smile. The tag on the basket says, "Bloom."  Hopefully I can keep these orange flowers happily blooming.

84/365 Pinecone

"Cone of Pine"

There was not a pinecone to be found around here today.  The closest I could come was a cone of pine incense.

83/365 Landmark

"Carrollton Town Square Gazebo"

Because I have been sick all week, I had to spend today, the first day I have had any real energy in a week, playing catch-up on my paper grading.  I had several ideas of things I wanted to try for today's "landmark" prompt, but they didn't happen.  As you can see, this one was taken at night, a last minute attempt.  I owe Weber a big "thank-you" for taking me out to shoot this one after we had dinner.  This is one of those photos that counts simply as not missing a day.

"Putting A Wrap On Spring"

Despite the fact that the calendar says that it is spring, it was a little chilly today.  That must be what caused an urge in me to start knitting a wrap; that, and I found a cool pattern and yarn for said pattern.  Also, I am still dealing with my weeklong cold.  Having a simple project to work on while I rest in the recliner and watch documentaries with Weber makes me feel at least a little bit productive.

81/365 Nurture

"An Apple A Day . . ."

Whether I'm hungry, thirsty or just need a little energy, an apple always does the trick.  It is a good way to nurture my body.

80/365 Hiding

"Hidden Words - Scramble With Friends"

79/365 Plant Something

"Please Don't Grow!

I had every intention of at least getting our garden prepped and ready for planting if not actually planted this week while I've been on spring break.  Unfortunately, the respiratory crud that hit me over the weekend has really kicked me in the rear.  I have not done much of anything this week.  

In an effort to make me feel better, Weber bought me some of these mini doughnuts that have absolutely no redeeming nutritional value, but I love them.  Since this is the only photo that I took today, I'm going to stretch the prompt a little and say that I have planted the seeds for a few extra pounds that I really hope don't grow!
