314/365-2 Give Thanks For New Adventures

"Time To Zip Up"

Our 80 degree temperatures of today are going to become freezing temperatures over the next couple of days. Like most of the United States, Texas is preparing for its first blast of cold air of this season. I am ready for it! I like the cold. Tonight I dug out my warm clothes wool coat. I am looking forward to the days when I can come home from school and put on my sweats and flannel shirts. It may not be sexy, but it sure is comfortable. And comfort trumps sexy any day in my book!

313/365-2 Perspective

"Look!"

...a good piece of advice for all of us.

And I am finally caught up!!!

312/365-2 Interesting Light

"Us In November"

Today's photo was supposed to be a portrait using interesting light. Truthfully, I was uninspired. There is not much creativity here and there certainly isn't any interesting light.

Each month I have attempted to take a photograph of each of the girls and one of Weber and me together. Amidst the chaos of the month of October, I didn't get a photo of us, so today was the day. Everyone has to break the rules every now and then.

311/365-2 The Little Things

"Little Big Things"

In the few days after my dad passed away, countless people asked me what they could do for me. Admittedly, I am not very good at asking for help, but during that time, I didn't really even know what to ask for...except from one person.

My dad always loved gardening. He always had a vegetable garden and he always had houseplants. When he retired from the Navy and moved back to Delaware, he went to work for a high school friend who owned a greenhouse business. When that person inquired as to what I needed, my immediate response was to ask if he could ship some of dad's plants to me. He graciously agreed to do that. They arrived on this day.

These are just run of the mill house plants...cactus, aloe, some jade plants...but several of them dad propagated. In my simple little mind, in them a small piece of him still lives on in these plants.
