Week 22

And it's June...

Future art project? I'm thinking paint, glass beads, sea glass...

the possibilities are endless.

Week 14

Yay, I'm caught up...for a minute. 

Lots of things going on, got lots of things done, and still have lots to do. 

Spent the week in Arizona, hanging out with my Mom. She's had a rough year and Sister and I are trying to help where we can. It is actually very healing for all of us. 

Life is a trip.

Week 5

 As I gathered my photos for last week, I realized we are now in the second month of the year. How did that happen?!

This last week was busier than usual, making it challenging to remember to take photos.

So, I decided that I would not worry so much about what to shoot or the exact day, but instead shoot in a way to remember what was going on. I can just share moments from my week. I think that makes this a 52-week project AND takes a little pressure off. Yes, I know; I'm the one applying the pressure. It also takes me too long to decide which images I want to share, and this way, I can share more. Or less.

 Always a work in progress, I am.

This guy got his long locks cut off. 

I love that now I can see all of his beautiful face and those cute little ears.

Tuesday we drop Logan off at school and Miss Paisley 

waves 'Hi' and "Bye' to everyone.

Always reading multiple books.

Miss Cleo is over 17 years old. 

Completely deaf and half-blind and still going strong.

I'm always looking for the partly cloudy sky.

Paisley likes to go on adventures so,

it takes a little longer to get back to the car these days.

Bought ourselves and newer travel trailer. Can't wait to get on the road again!

Riding in the truck with my boys.

My house plant babies. Thinking I need some more.

Week 4

Last week was quiet, yet I still had to remind myself to take photos some days. This week has been a busy one, and why I’m posting this a day late. I gotta just keep shooting. Onward.

Monday afternoon walk in the hills.

This old oak is so big, I can't get it all in the frame.

Journaling is good for my soul.

Red-shafted Flicker posing for me in the backyard.

I spent some time in a large, beautiful succulent garden.

We've been shopping for a new (to us) travel trailer. Found one!

In this case, the grass IS greener on the other side.
