Day Thirty-Five

The "Relay for Life" was held at the Cascade Library on Saturday (or a fundraiser for it, I'm not really sure; I was just there for the books). There were throngs of people, bagpipers (because when I think "cure for cancer," I think bagpipes), booths aplenty, black and tan coonhounds--and hope.

Day Thirty-Four

Beauty in the ordinary--in all things, really. That's what I love and what I seek.

Day Thirty-Three

Grace, Eowyn, and I spent yesterday at the mall. Not, as you might expect from this picture, in a Daliest museum of breakfast foods. Eowyn found herself overcome by the surrealist atmosphere and arranged herself on the bacon accordingly.

Day Thirty-Two

I've been having a crappy week. I'm disgruntled and exhausted and cranky. So I'm cheating. These are clearly pictures of last weekend--a happier time (a cuter time, for that matter). And I don't care. I took pictures yesterday, I just don't feel like posting any of them.

It may be that I need to get out more. Or stay in more. Or sleep more. *shrug* Whatever. Enjoy the cute!

A trio of adorable.



Bianca shows off her mad gathering skillz!


I'm not sure if the goat wants to be friends with Eowyn or just nibble on her face a bit.

Day Thirty-One

Before.



After. (Housed in the lovely vase Amy gifted me with for my wedding participation). Here you'll note the sheer mass of the yellow roses. Those white roses aren't tiny by any means. They're your typical roses. The yellows are as big as my two fists put together.

Day Thirty

It's official! I've done this for an entire month!!! I'm giddily proud of myself. Now, just eleven more to go.

Yesterday I finally let the cats out on the balcony. It was a lovely day, the roses smell heavenly, and they (mostly) didn't try to go over the edge. Because I usually let Hamlet be the model, I'm giving Tabitha the spotlight today.

She's the one who's usually begging to be let out to roll on the wood. And she's definitely the one who took full advantage of every spot of sunlight on the deck.



It was a time of much contentment for us all.

Day Twenty-Nine

In homage to Melissa's gorgeous shot of the same tree. (Read: I'm a copycat!)
