Thursday:apple

The cortland apples that we picked less than 2 weeks ago seem to have gone bad. It was a sad day, since I was looking forward to it in my lunch this afternoon. They were so good in the orchard, but even after a week they weren't as good.

Hopefully the other kind will stay good enough for me to make applesauce this weekend.

Wednesday: hi

Hi. We went to a new (to us) restaurant with all the parents tonight. It was fun.

I'm tired. Good night.

Tuesday: ham and squash

Today was the chosen day for our yearly ham and squash meal. I don't know why we only do it once a year; it is delicious. And I seem to take a picture of it every year, so I did this year too.

The biggest difference with the meal this year is apparently I look a little bit like a butternut squash. At least I don't look like an acorn squash. :)

Sunday: picture

Jamie took this nice picture of me on Monday. I'll admit, I feel more awkward than I look. So I don't know if I'm playing it up or what. Oh well.

Saturday: Flurry

Today Flurry got a little spoiled. She often gets spoiled.

Beyond the normal spoilage, Ben got my lunch ready so that I wouldn't have to move so that Flurry, sitting next to me, wouldn't have to move.

And this picture is from a few days ago when she decided to sit in the chair with me. I'm not sure she's ever done that before. It didn't last very long, but long enough to get a picture.

Friday: rain

Today I went for a walk with the added bonus of doing an errand. (For some reason, NY thinks it needs its license plates back.). When I left, it was beautiful, sunny day. When I stepped out of the store ten minutes later, I felt two raindrops. The sky didnt look like a rain sky, so I continued on my way, hurrying as much as I could.

A block from home it started to rain harder. I took refuge under a tree, and debated whether I should continue walking because under the tree would soon be wet or if I should wait. Then the sun came out and the rain let up slightly, so I continued.

There is a good chance this is a "you had to be there" story.

Thursday: rainbows

Apparently there was a beautiful double rainbow after a storm this evening.

I didn't notice because I was watching the crazy person in front of me swerve slightly over the lane markers as he tried out his latest and greatest software release. At least, that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
