Thursday: dandylions

So today I thought we'd talk about dandylions. Really, I think they're rather beautiful. Sure, they are annoying when you're trying to keep them out of your yard, but everywhere else I like them. They're just the perfect color yellow to be super cheery.

Then after the beautiful yellow flowers come these wonderful poofs. As we were driving this weekend we saw field upon field of poofs...it looked like so much fun to play in.


I'll admit though that dandelion stems are ugly.

Wednesday: unproductive

The unproductiveness started when I tried to fix a wire twister at work. To put it in perspective, I think trying to fix wire twisters are worse than WIPs. Trying being the key word. I was hoping that they could just sit on the "fix this" desk forever, but alas, it didn't work.

Then I was cutting pieces for my quilt and Flurry decided she wanted to lay on my piece of fabric. She even hissed at me. After trying to get her to move twice and being unsuccessful I gave up.

Tuesday: cereal-luck

The luck of the day was a cereal-luck. Everyone brought some cereal to share along with their own milk and bowl. And probably spoons too. It was fun to see everyone eating out of a bowl and enjoying all sorts of cereal. Luke seemed to be in seventh heaven. Cereal-luck must have been a huge draw because we had seventeen people come tonight. Woah - I think that's the most we've ever had. Too bad it was raining so we had to be inside. We played some games and hung out...a very fun night.

However, I'm tired now. It just hit me about an hour ago.

Monday: colors

Today I had 100 circles with 11 various colors in them. Unfortunately, four circles were wrong...I had an extra blue and one less brown and an extra green and one less gray. Since I just had a bunch of tiny, hand scribbled notes on a wire chart for the colors it took me about 30 minutes to find out where my mistakes were because I couldn't read my own writing. :(

This is Flurry taking a nap a few weeks ago. I think it's really cute when she covers her eyes with her paw.

Sunday: Loos and visits

Dad got quoted in an MSNBC article. :)
Flurry got to go visit Dusty and Laura. While she didn't really appreciate the ride over, she did seem to enjoy their bathroom.

Saturday: happy 6th anniversary!

Today is our 6th anniversary! I have a wonderful husband...I'm so blessed to be with him. He's funny and thoughtful and compassionate. It's been a great 6 years together.


Friday: around

We had a very relaxing day today. The weather was much warmer than we expected, which was pleasant. We spent a lot of time reading.
We went on a little hike by a stream.


And we went to a winery and meadery. We've never done wine tasting before and it was interesting. Not something I need to do very often, but we did come away with two of our favorite meads and a few new ones to share.
