Bizarre Holidays

Happy Pecan and Waffle Day!

Looking forward to Something on a Stick Day this Saturday.

Menu Plan

Saturday: Penne a la Betsy, roasted asparagus. Ryan has been in the mood for shrimp and I LOVE pasta.

Sunday: Grilled Pork with Barley. We just received a lot of pork and ham. A whole pig in fact. So you'll be seein' a lot more of 'the other white meat' around here.

Monday: Sloppy Joes

Tuesday: Slow cooker pork chops, steamed veggies.

Wednesday: I'm going out with friends for some birthday freebies.

Thursday: Ryan's in charge - he's not so much of a planner.

Friday: Pizza sounds like fun.

Check out more menus on Monday at OrgJunkie.

Green Things

In honor of spring, here are some green things.

Buds! So refreshing

My car - formerly known as Malibu Marge.

Hops?!? He's not green. And his name really isn't Hops. But look at him jump!

This little patch of grass.

Sierra Mist
Short pen.

This funky little lamp I found at a thrift store. Now for a lampshade...

One of my favorite shirts.

A piano book

Scenes from the shop

My husband's hobby is wood. Wood and everything about it. From beginning - he replants tree seedlings and helps them grow - to end - we have a fire pit in the yard.
So he spends a lot of time building things. I spent some time with him yesterday partaking in my hobby while he was doing his.

Here's some wood. He wants to build a table top that looks like this. How cool.

At work. Seems the shop is a bit too small, there's quite a bit of overflow.

The clamp rack. It doubles as curtain for our back door at night so the thieves can't see what's inside. Uhh...I also hope they don't read this blog.


Other stuff... (and me playing with my new flash)

The current project - a twin bed.

Delivery. This one's fun.

Although I'm beginning to wonder about my hobby of taking pictures of things becoming a little extreme. Is a picture of clamps or a shot out the back window of a car while traveling too much? Or simply the beauty of digital...

Menu Plan

Saturday: Spanish Tortilla, grapes & kiwi

Sunday: Roast Chicken, herbed rice, veggies

Monday: no plan... eeek :)

Tuesday: Sloppy Joes, oranges

100% Chance of Snow Today

I love using snow as a background to pictures!

Pups!

A collection of recent pictures I've taken of Camden.

Late Afternoon Portrait

Who Barked?!?

The Sleeping PlaceCamden is so good at wandering into his kennel for bed in the evening while we're relaxing. I like how his fluff sticks through the crate - doesn't seem the most comfortable, though.

(Try to overlook the terrible lighting)

Last night I was reading while Ryan and a friend were watching the basketball game. Camden goes crazy when people are over so I kept him in our room. When he finally stopped pacing, whining and wishing to be part of the action, he settled in this spot providing a fun reflective view from my little nook on the bed.

PS. No, I don't keep my camera in the bedroom, I left to get it hoping he would settle back to the same spot.


Camera Curious

Don't you all love pictures of dogs' noses. Okay, maybe you don't... but I do.
