i see, he saw

The magnificent maintenance man at the library cut not one but TWO stumps for me to use as cake stands. I am so grateful!

boot camp

Gearing up for a good cardio workout with Seth.

photobombed

And suddenly there was a paw from out of nowhere...

morning workout

Dusting off the bike for a morning ride with Seth & Gromit.

spring fever

This weather is amazing. My feet and my flowers are thinking spring has sprung!

how very apeeling

Yet another parking lot mystery.

I've found that linoleum is a kinder surface than tile, so I'll be weighing in upstairs from now on.

reflections & rust

A little "reflecting" on our lunchtime walk at Lake Corriher.

sign language

The 4' vinyl banner for my parents' anniversary party arrived today. I still can't believe what I deal I got!

sethfro

Finally trimmed Seth's hair. I wish we could do something meaningful with it. It has the texture of wool and grows faster than a weed. Any suggestions?

throwback

Lunch at Mellow Mushroom, ice cream at Kilwin's, and games with Jay and Amy. It almost felt like we were in Boone again. :)

movie night

Movie night with my sweetie and my new sock monkey slippers (on clearance at Target!).

new kicks

Modeling my new (to me) shoes. :)

I've decided to do a "Weight Watcher Wednesday" to keep me accountable.

stumped

Investigating a tree that was recently cut down behind the library.

parking lot paramore

I would really love to hear the stories this flattened, long-stem rose could tell.

the standoff

Who will get the ball first?

P.S. It would appear that I am crushing my dog's paw, but I assure you it's just the angle. :)

still spoonin'

Working on the invitations for my parents' anniversary party. We're going with a spoon theme ("Still spoonin' after all these years") and to my absolute and utter amazement, we ran across wooden ice cream spoons at the Okey Dokey General Store this afternoon. I wanted to include one in each invitation but figured I would never find them. What a wonderful blessing!

unshelved

Doing a little shelving at work.

leaves of grass

Trying to find an interesting shot before work; guess I'll have to settle for a little green after the rain. It really is amazing to find such vibrant color in the middle of winter.

dashboard confessional

Hanging out in the car listening to my audiobook before work. I'm cursing myself for not wearing more interesting (and less-worn) socks today!

tuesdays with joan

Enjoying a brisk lunchtime walk at Lake Corriher Park with one of my favorite two-legged friends.

back to the grind

First day back at work after Christmas break (almost a month long!). Before you envy, please note that it was unpaid.

weeds

An afternoon spent reclaiming my flower beds!

tiny treasures

Enjoying a cup of hot cocoa with some yummy micro marshmallows from Yoder's Amish Market.

winter wonderland

Digging my toes into the last patch of snow in Wilma & Jack's back yard. I enjoyed catching up with my mountain pals!

shortcut

First haircut in two years! Donating 8" to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths.

just the "2" of us

Taking a brisk walk with my favorite four-legged friend.

laundering

Seth's gone back to work and it's time to catch up on the housework!

hard hearted

Street art on the corner of Stevens and S. Franklin.

happy new year!

I've decided to continue the blog into 2012, but I'm a little behind on posting. I'm thinking a new theme would be good for the new year, so I've decided to copy this group's idea and photograph where I'm standing each day. Stay tuned!
