5 Days of Photos

365 project- days 112-117
Well, 6 days have gone by and I'm just now getting my photos up! I'm going to change things a bit here and start doing what I originally planned on doing: A weekly post with 7 days of pictures. As simple as it is to upload a photo and then post it, I have a hard time actually doing it every day. Ugh!
So here are the last 6 days, and then I'll post my daily photos every week beginning next Wednesday.
Day 112~ 

Resurrection Sunday with our family.

Day113~

Meet Ni-night puppy. This is my youngest daughter's stuffed animal. He apparently wrestled away her I-Touch.

Day 114~

My daughters...I really don't know the answer to the  "why" to this picture. Just being sisters, I guess?

Day 115~

My youngest daughter likes my brother-in-law's bike a little too much.

....Until she found the spider on the right hand glove. She threw those gloves and got off that bike faster than I've ever seen her move!

Day 116~

After the storm. It was so nasty all day, then the clouds broke for a little while in the evening. The way the sun reflected off of them made it look like the sun was shining from the east. It looked like morning, the way the light was shining. So beautiful is the work of His hands!

Day 117~

What you can't see is the bowl of cereal on my son's lap. The only reason they were paying him any attention at all.

Well, sleep tight and have a blessed night.

Days 110 and 111

Day 110~
Freshly cut chives out on the deck. I love this green!

111~
One of his favorite games. Chase the necklace (or string, chain, twine..you name it).

Days 108 and 109

Day 109~ We'll start with today first I guess.

I was looking out onto the deck this afternoon and noticed how beautiful the lines and rings in the wood were. 

And the thought came to me...God did that. 

Isn't it pretty?  

Just another little detail in His huge masterpiece.

Day 108~

...A farm that we passed on a drive in the country. Yesterday afternoon I finally started feeling normal again after dealing with an allergic reaction that I had mentioned a few days ago (and then another allergic reaction to the meds that were supposed to help the first allergic reaction, believe it or not!)

It was nice to get out and enjoy some fresh air. Then I came home and played with my pictures. This was the result.

Have a wonderful night, my friends. I have the house to myself this evening and will enjoy that immensely!

Day 107

Day 107~

It.

Snowed.

I know. This is Michigan. I should expect this kind of weather might happen in April. But last weekend it was in the 80's!

The birds out back actually seemed to be playing in it this morning. Enjoying it!

 Well, it's better than the terrifying storms they've been getting in some of the southern states. I'll take the snow over that any day.

Here are some other random shots I took today....

(He was fascinated.)

Day (evening) 106

Day 106~

Well, the day began cold, wet and windy, but this is what the sky looked like as I sat out back a few minutes ago. It's still cold, but the sky is clear, there are buds on the trees, and it's so nice to go out and hear the birds getting ready to settle in for the night after such a long quiet winter.

And speaking of settling in. I think I'm going to grab a book and do that myself. Hope you have a peaceful night.

Day 104 and 105

Day 104~

 

Homemade veggie pizza. This was a nice alternative to our usual once-a-week greasy pizza from Marco's (which is oh-so-good, but oh-so-unhealthy).

Day 105~ 

 My daughter, the drummer... Last night was the second night of a talent show that she and her band played in. There were so many talented kids! Their band did awesome and I'm so thankful that she's taken the gift God has given her musically and has used it to glorify Him and not herself.

I'll post today's picture a little later. I know it looks like I'm getting behind again...but I'm not! ;)

I'm just a little slow this weekend. Still fighting, not only the allergic reaction to the electrodes I had to wear, but now it seems I'm having another reaction to the medicine that's supposed to help the first problem! Geesh... and why do I prefer natural medicine??? Well, it could sure be a lot worse, so instead of going on about it, I think I'll get off my computer, grab my camera, and enjoy this beautiul partly-sunny day! Hope you're having a blessed day!

Days 101-103

Day 101~

I know. I've fallen behind on posting. And while my 101st picture isn't very fascinating, this is one of the reasons I've been distracted. It's a harmless phone, but it comes with another device that connects to electrodes, which connect to me. It captures any abnormalities in my heart's rhythm over a 30 day period. I've had an arrhythmia for several years, so it's just a check up. No big deal... except that I'm allergic to the electrodes. They first gave me huge welts where they were attached, then over the weekend, I broke out in a rash all over that got progressively worse. Not so fun. It's incessant itching night and day. Nope, not much sleep for me. Or even sitting. If I keep moving it seems to be better. Although I hate taking prescriptions, I finally relented and took the first dose of what my doctor prescribed, yesterday. I'm itching less, but it's making my heart race now! How's that for irony? Oh well. It'll be over in just a few more days.

Day 102~

Meanwhile, like I said, it's better if I keep moving, so I've stayed off the computer and decided to get some of my painting projects done. As with all of my projects, Kye wants to be included.

Day 103~

This is a picture of my first attempt at homemade crackers. I've been hearing my friend, Cindy, raving about all of these homemade crackers she's been making, and even tasted a few that were wonderful. So I gave it a shot. 

They're really good dipped in my youngest daughter's homemade hummus!

I was looking for a VERY simple recipe. I didn't want to run to the store and I didn't have a lot of time to be in the kitchen today. Well, I found it! (Here's the link.) And simple, it is. Other than waiting on the mixer and letting it stand before baking, it took me all of 10 minutes to prepare and they turned out wonderful. Maybe not as pretty as they could have been, but so delicious! The only things I did differently were to add some of my own spices and I rolled them with my rolling pin since I don't own a pasta roller. I will probably roll them thinner next time, but for hummus it worked out nicely. They were a lot like pita chips.

So that's the scoop and I'm now caught up...again. Now that I've got some itch relief I'm feeling the creativity return. :)

Happiest Thursday to you!
